We would like to reassure KONE that our acquisition strategy for elements of the suite were strategic and have enabled us to provide a robust, highly flexible platform which is integrated at every level, process, UI/UX, data and analytics. This approach guarantees that KONE never needs to compromise its digital transformation and introduce manual workarounds which ultimately we know add cost, time, risk and complexity.

Every employee in the organization – full time, part time, contingent, contractor, manager, executive - all are potential users of HR systems and expectations of all those end users have changed: they demand that business systems behave like the consumer systems they use every day: they must know who the user is, anticipate what they need, and provide the content, data, and processes to get the job done.

Our design principles are:

Usable - Of course every design needs to be highly usable: it’s easy to learn, easy to use; it’s direct and it does

repetitive things efficiently.

Beautiful and inviting – first impressions matter. Attractive and intuitive to increase engagement

Humanization… speak to you in your language. (see: Action Search, Headlines, the design of time off).

Organize around how people naturally think. Adapts to you

Responsive – we want all our applications to be available any time, wherever you are

Make employees and managers better at your job – make the default path the right action (e.g. 1:1’s), provide

important insights right on the spot (e.g. comp adjustments)

Each admin center is allowing Business Process Owners to manage entirely the content and the execution of their functional domains. As each functional domain may require some special functionalities, the experience can be different. This is especially true for Learning Administration. Customer experience tells us that this does not detract from the customer experience, in fact there are specific advantages to delivering the right experience for the right job.

With intelligent services, managed in the new SAP SuccessFactors event center, we’re taking self-

services to a new level. Instead of end users having to predict all the tasks they may need to complete

when they start an HR process, intelligent software does it for them. Intelligent services provides a more

personalized and consistent service delivery for employees, managers, and HR – all while improving

efficiencies across business processes.

Cloud payroll

Why SAP’s integration is the safest choice

HR systems continue to evolve toward the cloud, but KONE’s cloud path will be unique to its business

drivers and goals and its own IT landscape. Our solutions are modular, supporting your transition to the

cloud at your pace instead of forcing a “rip and replace.”

• Flexible deployment – Start anywhere to solve an immediate pain point (e.g., learning). Move all HCM to the cloud to

support strategic agility. Leverage on-premise HCM investments

• Get up and running 6-10 weeks – Leverage accelerated deployment services with fixed scope fees. Benefit from best

practice methodologies and online learning

• Lower TCO and risk of integration – Productized integrations packages, templates, and an integration platform for faster

deployment and lower risk. Integration with SAP on-premise HCM and ERP based on our deep expertise and the fact that

we own both ends of the integration (and actually the middle too!).

SAP Integration is a Product!

The SAP SuccessFactors Solution

KONE and SAP proprietary and confidential | 17

The initial design of the Business Suite developed over 190 integration points between HCM and ERP.

In order to enable the technical decoupling of HCM from ERP and third party integrations SAP enables

some of these points to be accessed through the HR “mini-master”. SAP has kept this interface

consistent.

Employee Central integration with SAP ERP by far outreaches the scope of the existing ERP

integration points and exceeds the level of integration that can be achieved by any third party HR

solutions. We have enriched the mini-master integration to cover more than 50 country versions, and

include automatic handling of HR events such as hire/re-hire, terminate, transfer, and global

assignment. Integration scope also includes SAP organizational management hierarchy, cost center

and departmental hierarchy, and competencies. All integrations support real time.

SAP ERP integration with Employee Central uses standard software components that comply with the

SAP standard maintenance policy. Thorough quality assurance assures they are compatible with

recent and future ERP versions for Employee Central customers without additional cost. This is

important when managing change for the ERP enterprise system and the cloud-based Employee

Central.
