Integrated talent management processes can help you quickly find the best people for your business, effectively develop and leverage their talent, align their efforts with your corporate objectives, and retain your top performers. The talent management processes in SAP ERP HCM are fully integrated with each other - and with other SAP ERP business processes. This cross-process integration provides you with a single view of your talent worldwide, while enabling all talent-related practices to speak a common language. Cross-process integration also ensures data integrity that minimizes your integration costs - and increases stability and simplicity of your talent management software.
