Simplify HR with secure digital personnel files in SAP SuccessFactors

Zalaris SF-eFile is a secure, cloud-based digital personnel file designed specifically for SAP SuccessFactors. It centralises all employee documents into one governed digital file, eliminating the need for shared drives, paper folders, legacy servers, or external document repositories. HR teams gain structured, standardised, and fully searchable personnel files with automated retention, access controls, version management, and complete audit trails - all inside the SAP SuccessFactors interface.
SF-eFile supports organisations moving from SAP HCM to SAP SuccessFactors by providing a cloud-ready approach to document governance and ensuring employee records are accurate, complete, and compliant.

SF-eFile is fully embedded within SAP SuccessFactors, meaning users stay in the familiar SuccessFactors interface with no additional systems or logins. The solution integrates directly with Employee Central, enabling HR teams to upload, organise, search, and govern employee documents without leaving the platform. All document actions - including creation, upload, tagging, retention, deletion, and audit tracking - occur within SuccessFactors.
This native integration ensures:

• A consistent user experience
• No additional IT infrastructure
• Seamless support for role-based permissions
• Stronger adoption across HR, managers, and auditorsSF-eFile is fully embedded within SAP SuccessFactors, meaning users stay in the familiar SuccessFactors interface with no additional systems or logins.

This native integration ensures:

A consistent user experience

No additional IT infrastructure

Seamless support for role-based permissions

Stronger adoption across HR, managers, and auditors

Many organisations using SAP SuccessFactors still manage documents in fragmented ways - shared folders, email inboxes, network drives, or paper files. This creates compliance risks, lost documents, inconsistent file structures, and heavy HR administration.
SF-eFile solves these issues by delivering:

• One digital personnel file per employee
• Consistent folder/categorisation structure
• Standardised document lifecycle management
• Automated retention and deletion rules
• Improved auditability and compliance
• Faster document retrieval and reduced HR workload
• A cloud-ready file structure for SAP HCM to SuccessFactors migration

Compliance is built into SF-eFile through a configurable governance framework that ensures employee documents are complete, accurate, and protected. Features include:

Automated document retention periods

Scheduled deletion of expired documents

Access controls aligned with SuccessFactors permissions

Fully traceable audit trails for uploads, views, edits, and deletions

Version history to maintain document integrity

Consistent folder structures that ensure required documents are always present
This helps organisations meet internal policies, regulatory requirements, and audit expectations - especially in highly regulated industries such as financial services, energy, mining, manufacturing, healthcare, and public sector.

SF-eFile supports all HR and personnel-related documents, including:

Employment contracts and amendments

Certifications, licences, and training evidence

Onboarding and offboarding documents

Performance reviews and PIP documents

Compensation statements and approvals

Medical and confidential HR records

Disciplinary and investigation documents

Policies, acknowledgements, and forms

Local country-specific compliance documents
Documents can be uploaded manually, triggered through workflows, or migrated in bulk during HCM to SuccessFactors transformation.

HR teams commonly waste hours per week searching across email threads, folders, and old servers for employee documents. SF-eFile eliminates this manual burden by providing:

Instant search across all personnel files

A consistent, intuitive structure for every employee

Fewer duplicate or missing documents

Automated lifecycle management

Fewer manual tasks for storing, tagging, or filing
This results in faster case handling, quicker employee query resolution, fewer compliance escalations, and reduced administrative overhead across the HR function.

A clean, governed repository for personnel documents

Bulk migration support for legacy records

The ability to attach documents directly to Employee Central
