Case Study: AGCO achieves ~90% reduction in succession planning and faster global training with SAP SuccessFactors

Sowing the Seeds for Future Success with SAP® SuccessFactors Talent Management Solutions

AGCO Corporation, a global agricultural‑equipment leader with 19,000 employees and a network of 3,100 dealers and 40,000 sales and technical staff, struggled with heavily customized, fragmented HR systems and manual, spreadsheet‑based processes that made hiring, training, and succession planning inefficient. To standardize and streamline HR and support growth, AGCO selected SAP SuccessFactors Talent Management solutions.

SAP SuccessFactors deployed modules for performance and goals, succession and development, recruiting, and learning—launching the AGCO Academy and digitizing succession processes. As a result, AGCO cut succession‑planning time by approximately 90%, gave instant access to product training for about 40,000 people, improved talent visibility and analytics, and reduced administrative workload so HR can focus on recruitment and development.
