User Delight
Appealing, easy-to-use features that engage users across the organization.
Whether you are an end-user, an HR specialist, a system administrator, or an executive accessing SuccessFactors, we have created a compelling, easy-to-use application that engages everyone. SuccessFactors ULTRA is an advanced user experience that provides streamlined access to any part of our application and combines common-sense simplicity with the power to create a personalized experience.
The Succession Org Chart provides a dynamic, flash-based interface where managers can zoom out to see multiple reporting layers or zoom in to focus on a specific employee.
Improved navigation and new Home Page make it easier to find what you need fast. Update your To-Do list, adjust the font size, or drag-and-drop portlets as you prefer.
On-page editing of admin functions lets administrators change administrative settings on the spot, without leaving the page.
The Highlight Key Positions feature makes important roles easier to find on the Succession Org Chart.
The Career Path CheckPoint provides an engaging and interactive experience for an employee or manager to identify and assess the requirements of future roles.
Leading-Edge Innovation
A proven solution evolving at the bleeding edge of innovation in strategic HR and technology.
SuccessFactors' relentless pursuit of innovation is exemplified throughout SuccessFactors ULTRA. We bring fresh perspectives to solve problems our customers sometimes didn't even know they had.
Tags and the Tag Cloud promote social networking with co-workers by allowing individuals to self-identify with specific interest groups and make their association visible to the entire organization. Employees can search by tag to find co-workers and instantly email everyone in the tag group.
The Seating Chart provides an easy way to find the people you need to collaborate with in person to get your job done. A map of your office layout shows where each employee is seated.
Faces helps you put a name to the face you know. Search results display a collage of employee photos that let you click on any of the "faces" shown to access the employee's full profile.
Technology Agnostic
Unfettered development, leveraging the most appropriate technology available for a given feature-set.
SuccessFactors ULTRA is not restricted to a specific technology platform, but rather leverages the most appropriate technologies based on need. For example, to display complex hierarchical data graphically and dynamically, the Org Chart leverages Adobe Flash while features with broader use like the SMART Goal Wizard use lightweight AJAX calls to quickly bring data back to the user. Our technology agnostic approach frees us to build the best product and minimize unnecessary software installs that impede user adoption.
