| SAP | Legacy | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2022 | 2023 |
In 2022 Concordia University deployed SAP S/4 HANA as the Financial system within UNITY, its integrated information system for Human Resources, Financial, and Procurement services. SAP S/4 HANA is the ERP Financial application that provides the core finance and payroll engine for UNITY and is explicitly linked to Concordia’s broader administrative tooling.
UNITY aggregates seven solutions where SAP S/4 HANA operates alongside My HR managed in SuccessFactors, My Time from Workforce Software, My Expense Reports in Concur, and My Purchase Requisitions via Ariba. Financial modules and capabilities associated with the SAP S/4 HANA footprint include Finance and Controlling FICO for general ledger and cost accounting, Business Planning Consolidation BPC used for reporting and budgeting, Positioning Budgeting Control PBC for salary commitments, Grant management GM for research project finances, and Fund management FM for project level revenue and expense budgeting.
The deployment architecture is integrated rather than siloed, with SAP S/4 HANA interfacing with SuccessFactors, Workforce Software, Concur, Ariba, and Sodales Solutions for workplace health and labour relations functions to maintain a single source of financial truth. Operational coverage spans Concordia employees broadly for self service tasks, authorized employees for Financial System access, managers for team structure, hiring and approvals, and union representatives for access to the My Labour Relations module.
Governance and operational workflows emphasize role based access to financial transactions and electronic approvals, managers approving timesheets, expense claims, and purchase requisitions within the UNITY environment. Budgeting control and reporting workflows are routed through PBC and BPC, while GM and FM modules provide structured grant and fund accounting controls tied into SAP S/4 HANA.

| SAP | Legacy | SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2022 | 2023 |
In 2022, Concordia University implemented SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central as the My HR module within its UNITY integrated information system. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central serves as the university's Core HR platform and the centralized employee master data store for HR lifecycle events.
The deployment configures core employee lifecycle management, onboarding workflows, manager organizational views, and electronic approval workflows for timesheets, expense claims, leave requests and recruitment actions. Employee self service functionality within SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central is exposed through UNITY so staff can access HR records and training assignments while managers initiate recruitment, guide onboarding and electronically approve routine requests.
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central is integrated across the UNITY landscape, exchanging data with My Time Workforce Software for time capture and time off requests, My Expense Reports Concur for expense reimbursement processing, My Purchase Requisitions Ariba for source to pay workflows, and S/4 HANA for finance and payroll reconciliation. The implementation also aligns with reporting and planning tools including BPC and PBC and the finance and grant modules FICO, GM and FM, while Sodales Solutions modules remain in scope for Workplace Health and Safety and Labour Relations.
Governance centralizes employee master data control in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and standardizes approval routing across HR, finance and procurement processes. Access is provisioned through UNITY so Concordia employees have broad access to My HR features, authorized finance staff retain S/4 HANA access for accounting tasks, and union representatives access My Labour Relations where applicable.

The deployment focused on centralizing admissions workflows and student record handling used day to day by recruitment officers, admissions advisors, and academic units, with specific operational usage documented in Arts and Science recruitment and virtual open house preparations.
Oracle PeopleSoft Campus Solutions was configured to support core Student Information capabilities such as application processing, admissions decisioning, enrollment tracking, and academic record maintenance, with tailored configurations for advisor and admissions officer user roles.
