Digitalization in human resources is progressing – but not every solution meets the complex requirements of modern HR departments. Integration into SAP systems such as SAP HCM or SAP SuccessFactors often determines efficiency, security, and future viability.

Read here the five most important reasons why you should choose a solution with SAP integration.

A digital personnel file in SAP delivers its full value only through complete system integration. The Centric Employee File for SAP Solutions ensures that HR master data is transferred directly from SAP HCM, automatically updated, and processed – without manual duplicate data entry or system breaks.

This not only guarantees a consistent data basis, but also reduces sources of error and administrative effort. For companies that strategically link the introduction of a digital personnel file with SAP, this is the key to sustainable efficiency gains in HR.

The combination of an electronic personnel file and SAP SuccessFactors opens up new potential: documents can be directly embedded into onboarding, transfer, or contract processes – fully automated and audit-proof.

Thanks to ESS/MSS access and integration into SAP workflows, HR departments benefit from end-to-end processes, structured traceability, and reduced processing times. For organizations pursuing a future-oriented implementation of a digital personnel file, this is a central building block for modernizing HR processes.

The SAP digital personnel file is based on a comprehensive security and authorization concept. Existing role models from SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors are fully adopted – including authentication via ADFS or Azure AD.

With four preconfigured roles (HR, ESS, MSS, Admin) and flexible extension options, access control for the electronic personnel file remains precisely manageable. Companies benefit from GDPR-compliant processes, high transparency, and maximum data security – a clear advantage over standalone solutions or external archives.

Centric’s electronic personnel file supports seamless compliance with legal requirements. Documents are archived in an audit-proof manner either in the SAP cloud or via connected on-premises systems. Functions such as completeness checks, deadline monitoring, the four-eyes principle, and detailed document histories enable efficient, process-oriented compliance management directly within the SAP context. This allows external audits to be prepared reliably – with minimal effort and maximum security.

Centric’s SAP-certified digital personnel file not only offers the highest level of technical compatibility, but also continuous further development – three major releases per year ensure currency, stability, and scalability. This not only minimizes future migration efforts, but also ensures long-term planning security and investment protection. For companies using SAP SuccessFactors or SAP HCM as their central platform, Centric provides an integrated solution that effectively supports the transition to a modern, digital HR organization.
