Case Study: Heraeus Group achieves a global HR digital transformation with SAP SuccessFactors

How Do You Prepare Your People and Your Business for the Digital Future

Heraeus Group, a top-10 family-owned German technology company with 15,000 employees in 40 countries, needed to digitalize its employee experience and modernize HR to support agile ways of working and anywhere/anytime access to HR services. To meet that challenge, Heraeus partnered with SAP SuccessFactors and deployed the SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite—including Employee Central and Recruiting—along with SAP SuccessFactors Mobile, SAP Analytics Cloud, and SAP Cloud Platform.

SAP SuccessFactors implemented a global HR platform in just 18 months, harmonizing and automating processes, digitalizing 80% of HR workflows and documentation, and delivering mobile access and improved headcount planning via SAP Analytics Cloud. The solution eliminated paperwork, improved talent identification for leadership roles, sped decision-making, and freed HR to focus on innovation—strengthening agility and the employee experience across the organization.
