Case Study: A. Schulman achieves a smooth global HR rollout across 20 countries with SAP SuccessFactors

How Can Companies Expand New HR Processes Globally − Faster and More Efficiently

A. Schulman, a global manufacturer and supplier of plastics and resins, needed to expand advanced HR processes worldwide without disrupting operations. The company was already using SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite—specifically SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central—in the United States and sought a smooth, scalable rollout of Employee Central to 20 countries across Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America with strong user adoption.

SAP SuccessFactors, through the SAP Preferred Success services team, ran a two-session success check that included hire-to-termination process analysis, user screen sharing, and best-practice recommendations to optimize workflows and ease adoption. The engagement delivered measurable benefits: 100% user satisfaction with the support, 100% faster issue identification, a comprehensive set of global best practices, and improved data access for managers—preparing A. Schulman for the planned 20-country rollout.
