Among the biggest challenges pertains to getting started. Understanding the depth of what’s at stake should be top of mind.
How can HR more effectively engage business stakeholders on strategic levels? In what ways can this fundamental shift occur with reliable workforce data either in isolation or in combination with other functional domains?
Zalaris SAP Analytics Cloud is a proven solution that eradicates the traditional patchwork approach still entrenched in an overabundance of companies today. More importantly, CxOs gain the business intelligence for fully informed actions (or reactions) via HR, plus market-driven insights!
It’s time to eliminate unnecessary waste of specialized resources for simple data preparations. It’s time to close the productivity gap from unreliable fragmented insights related to HR.
— Dirk Vahlkamp
The “One Truth” of the matter
Correct decisions can only be made with a consistent database – one truth – that can now be provided technologically with automated advantages, on demand, but the “last mile” connection to mind and business remains elusive.
It’s time to eliminate unnecessary waste of specialized resources for simple data preparations. It’s time to close the productivity gap from unreliable fragmented insights related to HR.
Why now?
Zalaris clients can all benefit from one truth, as our delivery models are based on one common integrated solution across our scope, integrated with leading cloud HCM systems and secure compliance reporting.
It’s time to work with “the context” without losing time from endless number crunching and the seemingly unending battle with the basics. Such landscapes for information deficit are practically inexcusable given the strides already possible from business Intelligence environments with Google Analytics, SAP Analytics, etc.
From concept to reality
The Zalaris Professional Service Business Intelligence Team works closely with the SAP Analytics Cloud Platform to establish analyses, plans and forecasts for building an efficient People Analytics application area from compliance to predictive analytics.
Building harmonized personnel data is a prerequisite for any successful People Analytics project:
- The report “consumer” (department) sees only 20% of the main project work in the form of data evaluation and visualization.
- The 80% project effort required to build a consistent and resilient personnel database is not visible.
In the past, personnel “data cleansing” was usually carried out directly in spreadsheet formats, supplemented by different data preparation in the form of Marcos and VBA programming, which resembled a black box. In the course of GDPR’s evolution, the personal spreadsheets must be likewise documented and the black boxes dissolved. The obvious or typical replacement comes down to Business Intelligence Self-Service solutions. It is often overlooked or forgotten, however, that for the structure of a future-oriented BI total solution – the foundation, which forms the actual personnel data basis – represents the most important Business Intelligence components in the People Analytics context.
The current situation is evaluated and assessed based on actual data. Then, the planning takes place, and thus the control, or “better control loop,” is closed for the comparison between actual and planned target values. With such resilient personnel data, a valid forecast can be made for various questions, which, in turn, can initiate select personnel measures.
It’s not about the tool
Success does not depend on the tool or solution. It’s about good personnel data as the basis for agile and intuitive operation that corresponding business intelligence yields, so that the end user is quasi- equipped with “superpowers.” These are released by the support of easy-to-use technology.
The innovative BI front-end solution, SAP Analytics Cloud, combines reporting, analysis, simulation and forecasting in one product. Data from other SAP solutions can be transferred to the stored consistent personnel database or made available via live access. The SAP Analytics Cloud therefore provides a detailed introduction to personnel data.
In the dashboard “stories,” personnel data is visualized as bar- and tree-map diagrams or interactive maps. Thanks to simple, intuitive navigation, both report consumers and creators can quickly satisfy their information needs. In addition, new functionalities are added every two weeks with SAP Analytics Cloud as the central front end for all future reports, analyses, simulations and forecasts associated with all SAP (and potentially non-SAP) components.
