Business Wire
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) is expanding its human capital management
offerings with the availability of Accenture Clone and Test
software on SAP HANA® Cloud Platform. Accenture Clone and Test will
complement and extend the capabilities of SuccessFactors® Employee
Central software from SuccessFactors, an SAP company.
SuccessFactors Employee Central is a cloud-based core HR system of
record that combines HR transactions, processes and data with
social collaboration and mobile functionality.
Before going into production with new human resources–related
processes, companies typically test relevant data for a smooth
implementation. Accenture Clone and Test on SAP HANA Cloud Platform
is designed to provide reliable, meaningful and authentic HR test
data for companies by providing a secure environment for the
copying and testing of data. The solution swiftly copies and
anonymizes SuccessFactors Employee Central data across systems,
helping improve the quality and efficiency of regression testing
and reducing the number of errors in software before it goes into
production.
“Faced with a state of constant change, many companies are
taking advantage of the flexibility of a cloud HR delivery model in
order to effectively integrate personnel management processes,”
said Michael Detwiler, managing director, Accenture Software.
“Delivering Accenture Clone and Test on SAP HANA Cloud Platform
helps our clients automate and accelerate data tasks. This lessens
the administrative effort in setting up new test environments and
helps increase operational agility.”
The creation of human capital test data is automated, saving
time and resources and reducing the risk of mistakes. Test data is
also anonymized, helping companies achieve compliance and
minimizing exposure of sensitive information to unauthorized
personnel. Using SAP HANA Cloud Platform safeguards the security of
data, as it never needs to leave the SAP® data centers.
“We are pleased to see that Accenture is announcing another
product built on SAP HANA Cloud Platform to complement the
SuccessFactors Employee Central solution,” said Mike Ettling,
president, HR Line of Business, SuccessFactors. “We believe that
SAP HANA Cloud Platform will be increasingly valuable to customers
as alliance partners like Accenture build applications that extend
our solutions. Accenture has been a leader in adopting the
platform, developing several applications popular with our
customers. We think this will be an area of tremendous innovation
and invention for HR.”
Used by more than 1,500 companies in over 40 countries,
