CubeServ Business Content for HR

A company’s staff makes the decisive difference. Nevertheless, companies and HR departments know fairly little about their „human capital“. Suitable HR key figures are to provide well-targeted information allowing for performance optimization within an organization. Not only the key figures alone but in particular information on developments over time provide useful insights and allow for the definition of measures to ensure the company’s successful further development. Thanks to these results, short- and medium-term priorities can be defined. Subjective assessments can be confirmed with facts and thus be objectified, which in turn, makes it possible to defend investment decisions or budget cuts credibly, so that corporate progress may be achieved and measured.

In addition to this, the use of HR key figures fosters transparency, ensuring that staff, investors, and stakeholders be able to carry out analyses and estimates.

Key figure-based HR controlling

HR controlling primarily consists in identifying useful key figures. The challenge involves putting observable and measurable data into causal relations and thus fulfilling internal and external information requirements with the help of an appropriate information system. Such a key-figure oriented approach allows companies to put to use effective controlling tools based on the systematic and periodical (generally, monthly) compilation and analysis of HR key figures.

The economic developments of the past few months have changed the framework conditions for SAP BusinessObjects BI projects. In particular increasing cost pressure has led to the necessity to render visible the short-time added value of projects („quick wins“).

CubeServ can support such strategies by implementing, in the first line; those projects that will lead to rapidly visible improved results and direct added value.

Implementation aspects

Our many years of experience in the SAP BW environment and the corresponding CubeServ design guidelines form the basis for CubeServ HR solution packages. Our HR solution is primarily aligned towards SAP standards. In cases in which this proves to be impossible or to make little sense, CubeServ’s specific, tried and tested design and implementation approaches can be applied.

To the degree to which this is possible and reasonable, thanks to extractors, SAP Business Content can be used for the source system (HR system). Primarily, customer-proprietary objects will be used in SAP BW. SAP Business Content will only be used where necessary and reasonable, e.g. for calendar and fiscal time characteristics as well as for a series of standard extractors.

CubeServ HR reporting with SAP BW is based on HR management components. These components serve as the basis for all further solution components, because on the one hand, they contain a large share of master data used for overall HR reporting and on the other, they provide the most important organizational management information. Because all other HR solution packages, e.g. HR data quality management, wages or time management, use HR administration and organizational management master data, this basic component is an extremely comprehensive HR package that can serve as the basis for the implementation of additional modules.
