In this podcast at insightcp.com/insights we welcome Chris Paine to talk with us about SAP's Identity Authentication System (IAS). Chris, Brandon Toombs, Mark Ingram and Steve Bogner talk about what it does, why it's needed and how customers can benefit from it. It's growing in importance and we think most SAP SuccessFactors customers will want to adopt it eventually. Be sure to check out Chris Paine's blog www.wombling.com for great information about the more technical aspects of the SAP SuccessFactors environment and other entertaining topics.

The SAP HCM Insights podcast can be found on all the major podcasting platforms.

Welcome to the SAP HCM Insights podcast! To see more episodes and subscribe to our podcast see insightcp.com/insights . Since Employee Central Payroll (ECP) is built on the same platform as SAP's on-premise payroll, there are a number of tools that will lift your configuration and data from on-prem and shift it to ECP. That saves time, but is it better than reimplementing payroll? It's most often a false choice because the best decision is usually somewhere between the two extremes. Join Steve Bogner, Luke Marson and Jarret Pazahanick as they discuss how to approach this, tips and advice for getting the most value, and obstacles to avoid.

We had a great discussion with Meg Bear (head of product at SAP SuccessFactors) about a variety of things - new features in the H1 2020 release, how new feature requests are evaluated, what's in store for SuccessConnect this year and more! Meg is leading a lot of great work there and we are glad we finally got most all of the team together for this one - Steve Bogner, Amy Grubb, Luke Marson, Martin Gillet, Becky Murray, Jarret Pazahanick and Brandon Toombs.

Kim Lessley from SAP SuccessFactors talks with the podcast team - Steve Bogner, Mark Ingram, Luke Marson and Martin Gillet - about the SAP App Center. What is in it? How does it work? How can Partners get involved? We also talk about the impact COVID-19 is having on customers and consultancies. See insightcp.com/insights for more links to the App Center.

The audio was choppy in some places - sorry about that, I think the internet was tired when we recorded this.

Join Steve Bogner, Luke Marson, Becky Murray, Sven Ringling, Martin Gillet and Mark Ingram to learn more about the impact of COVID-19 they are seeing on the SAP SuccessFactors community. There are free extensions availabel to help companies track information and report on the impact of COVID-19 on employees - Luke describes iXerv's free extension and we mention a few others too. Sven, Luke and Martin talk about how Qualtrics is offering free surveys to monitor the impact. The team also talks about the impact remote work is having on how we work, how we build culture and its impact on people. Steve mentions his resource for Time & Payroll impacts, which also references SAP's official Legal Change announcements blog. And finally - the delay of the production H1 release for SuccessFactors - good for some people and not so good for others but overall a welcomed change.
