Solution Manager was used for application lifecycle governance and operational monitoring during cutover and ongoing support.
A Senior SAP B4HANA Consultant was engaged from March 2019 to support BW on HANA, S4HANA integration, data extraction patterns and reporting design, aligning FI, CO and analytics teams.

In 2021, Solvay France deployed SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central as its Core HR system. The deployment centralized employee master data and workforce administration for Solvay Total Workforce in France, supporting a population of approximately 4000 employees and establishing SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central as the primary repository for HR records.
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central was configured to deliver core HR capabilities including employee master records, organizational assignments, and simplified HR processes for Employee Self Service and Manager Self Service.

Operational ownership was assigned to a Workforce Data Administration team responsible for administration of HR systems data, ongoing data maintenance, and ad hoc reporting. The implementation emphasized data integrity, quality and consistency, with the team determining harmonized and standardized definitions of HR data and defining HR Process Data management workflows to govern updates and reporting.
Governance was formalized through a data stewardship approach led by a Workforce Data Administration Manager and supported by project management for continuous Employee Central enhancements. The rollout centered on centralizing HR data, embedding process controls into daily HR administration, and aligning process owners to maintain standardized definitions and data maintenance procedures.
