Is your SAP SuccessFactors performing at its best?

A simple review could save your organisation up to 50% in support and maintenance costs, yet most businesses don’t even realise the opportunity exists.

Implementing SAP SuccessFactors is just the beginning. As your business evolves, your HR system needs to keep up. But too often, SuccessFactors implementations drift out of alignment. Processes slow down, configurations become outdated, users get frustrated, and opportunities for automation or efficiency are missed.

That’s where a Health Check comes in.

What is an SAP SuccessFactors Health Check

A Health Check is a strategic review of your SuccessFactors setup, covering technical, functional, and operational aspects. It goes module by module (Employee Central, Onboarding, Recruiting, Performance and Goals, and more) to evaluate:

  • Configuration accuracy and alignment with SAP best practices
  • Workflow efficiency and process performance
  • Integration health and data quality
  • Security (RBP), permissions, and compliance
  • Release readiness and adoption of new features
  • Overall system usage, documentation, and support model

While SAP’s built-in Check Tool can automate some diagnostics, the real value comes from experienced consultants who connect those insights with your business goals.

How Zalaris 5-Step Health Check Model works

A proven Health Check usually unfolds in a few key steps:

How Zalaris 5-Step Health Check Model works

A Zalaris Health Check for SAP SuccessFactors delivers both immediate operational improvements and long-term strategic value. It helps optimise your system so HR can truly deliver impact. Companies that take advantage of this type of review often see better performance, reduced risk, and stronger user adoption. Just as importantly, they gain clarity and direction. The recommendations and roadmap help ensure that their HR IT investment keeps delivering results.

Whether your goal is cost savings, compliance, better employee experience, or innovation, a Health Check gives you the insight to get there. In the fast-moving world of HR tech, it's a crucial step to keep your SAP SuccessFactors environment healthy, agile, and aligned to your business goals.

An SAP SuccessFactors Health Check in action

Here’s how organisations like SUEZ Australia have transformed their HR operations through a Zalaris Health Check, unlocking tangible improvements in performance, cost efficiency, compliance, and long-term strategy.

Boost performance and user experience
By resolving root-cause issues and eliminating inefficiencies, organisations benefit from faster workflows, fewer errors, and a smoother HR experience.

Reduce costs and free up resources
Fixing misconfigurations leads to fewer support tickets and less reliance on external help. In SUEZ’s case, support hours were reduced by 50%. Automating manual processes and enabling self-service also frees up HR capacity and boosts ROI.

Strengthen compliance and reduce risk
From data privacy to country-specific regulations, a Health Check ensures your system meets compliance requirements. It highlights gaps before they become issues, simplifying audits and reducing business risk.

Maximise your investment
Many companies don’t fully use the features they already have. A Health Check helps uncover dormant tools, dashboards, or automations that can be activated, often without extra licensing. More value, same cost.

Align with strategy and future-proof HR
A Health Check isn’tjust about solving today’s problems. It helps organisations plan for what’s next. With a clear roadmap, leaders can scale HR operations, support growth, and stay aligned with evolving business goals.

A Health Check is the diagnosis. But what about the treatment? 

That’s where Application Management Services (AMS) comes in. AMS turns recommendations into action and sustains progress over time. It gives you access to experts who not only fix the issues highlighted in the Health Check, but also manage releases, monitor performances, supports your team, and ensures your platform evolves with your business.

With Health Check and AMS together, you move from reactive problem-solving to proactive optimisation. It’s not just about fixing what’s broken. It’s about continuously improving the system that supports your people.
