The system enables data accumulation and analysis for goal management and evaluations, improving visibility.
The complexity involved in configuring and updating incentive structures, especially when business rules or commission plans change frequently. even small adjustments in calculation logic or reporting may require additional effort or technical support, which can slow down turnaround time.
Transactions are being applied at the contract level of client, group, effective date and product and the AOR needing to be active at time of receipt. This requires a reactive approach of reposting files and can cause delays in commission payments. Commission statements show net commission when there is a rate change rather than a line for the old rate and the new rate. This has resulted in an increase in questions from our agency partners.
The process for employees to request personal information changes in SuccessFactors is extremely difficult.

Transition to SAP SuccessFactors SPM Eases Operations but Faces Support Challenges
The SAP SuccessFactors SPM Product is fantastic. We were able to successfully transition all of our direct channels from our legacy system to SAP, and now we're working on fine tuning the experience for all of our downstream partners. Working with rep. and the rest of the SAP team has been great. Whenever there is an issue that we need to resolve, our team can rely on rep. and team for extra support. It's also been great to deepen our partnership with SAP and learn about the amazing features that are coming on the horizon. - Sr. Manager50M-1B USDSoftwareReview Source
