Section 3 - SAP SUCCESSFACTORS Reporting
and Analytics Continued
B: Coming Soon - the SAP SuccessFactors Report Center
The focus of reporting in SuccessFactors was historically similar to SAP; they had several solutions to access different pieces of data including tools like the Online
Report Designer, List Views & Spotlight Views, Classic Reporting Spreadsheet, Tiles & Dashboards and Headlines.
In 2017 SAP SuccessFactors announced a new solution called the Report Center, which is a consolidated access screen for using these various solutions for reporting.
Starting in 2017, SAP SuccessFactors has been making a more user friendly unified front end for accessing all reporting in SAP SuccessFactors which is called the
Report Center. The next step planned in the Roadmap is to unify the back-end processes that drive the Report Center which starts with unifying the data layer
leveraging SAP HANA. So regardless of where you get the data, it’s the same experience allowing you to include data from virtually all SuccessFactors modules into
a single query, including Learning. This will be part of something brand new called the Unified Reporting Solution planned for production by end of 2018 (accessible
via the Report Center). This solution which is currently targeting a closed beta launch by Q2 will eventually replace all other tools such as ORD, Ad Hoc, BIRT, Tiles
etc. Current advice for customers “Continue to use existing tools until this happens. SAP SFSF will initially allow access to old reports but will then begin a phased
sunset approach of the legacy technologies”. The Unified Reporting Solution requires SAP HANA.
