Challenges

• SAP SuccessFactors was in use at metafinanz as the leading HR master data system, while payroll was run through DATEV.
• Changes to HR data had to be exchanged manually between the two systems every month.

• Project duration: 6 weeks
• Efficient implementation: A proven DATEV Integration Content Package was used for the integration and specifically adapted to metafinanz's system landscape and requirements.
• Close collaboration: Adaptation, configuration, and testing took place in close and transparent coordination between metafinanz, INTEGRTR, and DATEV.

Business Impact

• Automation: The monthly data changes are prepared automatically and made available for further processing.
• Less manual data maintenance: Routine work in the transfer between SAP SuccessFactors and DATEV has been significantly reduced.
• Higher data quality: Automated preparation reduces potential sources of error in manual data entry.
• Fast implementation: Configuration and testing were completed with an effort of 15 person-days.
