LAS VEGAS, May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE:
SAP) today announced SAP® SuccessFactors® Visa and
Permits Management, a new solution that simplifies the often very
complex and risky ways HR and business managers source
international talent. The announcement was made at the 2018 UNLEASH
Conference & Expo, taking place May
15 and 16 at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
Visa and permit management processes can be extremely complex
and often are completed manually, leaving HR teams struggling with
constantly changing regulations across local and regional
jurisdictions. The SAP SuccessFactors Visa and Permits Management
solution helps to alleviate these compliance and efficiency
headaches by providing a single place for HR to centrally manage,
automate and gain insight into employee work visa and permit
processes, helping protect against penalties from
noncompliance.
"It is absolutely critical today for businesses to take a
worldwide view of hiring and deploying talent while keeping up with
changing regulatory requirements," SAP SuccessFactors President
Greg Tomb said. "SAP SuccessFactors
solutions are designed and built to have deep global and local
capabilities and functionality. This is a key differentiator for
us. Compliance violations are a real issue for companies today. Our
visa and permits management solution reflects our commitment to
addressing these needs and will open doors for businesses to bring
on the best talent at the right time no matter where they are
deployed."
SAP SuccessFactors Visa and Permits Management helps
organizations:
- Decrease risk by allowing customers to define visa and
permit processes in line with country requirements or legal
constraints defined by authorities. This includes marking
milestones and potential expenses, and identifying representatives
for engaging with local authorities.
- Increase compliance through auditable processes, with
the ability to define eligibility checks and approval criteria
concerning classifications as well as the number of visas and
permits for potential negotiations with local authorities
- Increase efficiency by providing central worklists based
on country-specific processes for visa and permit issuance,
extensions, renewals or cancelations
- Improve decision-making by providing HR, recruiters,
managers and employees insight into visa and permit processes
SAP SuccessFactors Visa and Permits Management integrates with
the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central solution so HR and business
managers can be assured of total workforce visibility, management
and insight. The initial release offers predefined localization for
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Additional localizations
are planned for coming releases.
"Before the SAP SuccessFactors Visa and Permits Management
solution, it was extremely difficult to be completely confident
that we were not mismanaging our visa and permits processes and
being fully compliant with local law and regulations," Al Khaleej
Sugar IT Manager Ahmed Mamdouh said.
"Now we are able to manage and monitor all required processes end
to end, and we have clear transparency between management and the
agents who are working on the visas and permits."
SAP SuccessFactors Visa and Permits Management is the first SAP
SuccessFactors solution to be built and delivered on SAP Cloud
