| SAP | Legacy | SAP HCM (HR) | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2014 | 2014 |
In 2014, Stara implemented SAP HCM (HR) as its Core HR system to centralize HR processes for the company HR function across its Brazil operations supporting roughly 1,150 employees. The SAP HCM (HR) deployment was executed as part of a broader SAP footprint at Stara, with explicit year association to the Core HR implementation.
The implementation included SAP HCM and EH&S modules alongside cloud talent capabilities via SAP SuccessFactors and Talent Management Cloud, establishing personnel administration, time management, payroll interfacing, and talent workflows consistent with Core HR functional patterns. Configuration work focused on core HR master data, organizational management, and talent management workflows, aligning on-premise SAP HCM with cloud talent modules to support end to end HR processes.
SAP HCM was integrated into Stara's wider SAP ECC 6.0 landscape, which included MM, SD, FI, CO, PP, PS, PM, QM, DMS, and GRC, and linked to customer facing and finance systems such as SAP C4C CRM Cloud, Softpar at Stara Financeira, Mastersaf for fiscal processing, and TradeEasy for foreign trade. Business process modeling and orchestration used BPM tools Aris and Visio to document HR to payroll and HR to finance transaction flows, enabling synchronous master data exchange across ERP and cloud talent systems.
Governance and rollout were coordinated with SAP Global Customer COE Program participation and SAP Customer Influence activities, while parallel initiatives included a finished rollout of SAP ECC in Argentina. The implementation narrative situates SAP HCM (HR) within a governed SAP ecosystem at Stara, connecting Core HR operational modules to enterprise finance, compliance, CRM, and trade systems.

In 2020, Stara deployed Cisco Webex Meetings as its Audio Video and Web Conferencing solution. Cisco Webex Meetings is embedded on the Stara corporate website to provide browser-based external meeting and webinar access while also supporting internal collaboration across the organization.
The implementation emphasized standard Audio Video and Web Conferencing capabilities including scheduled meetings, video and audio conferencing, screen sharing, recording, and host controls for attendee management. Configuration focused on web-embedded join flows and host privilege configuration to separate external customer sessions from internal meetings.
Deployment uses Cisco Webex Meetings in a cloud-hosted delivery model with browser and mobile client access, enabling web-embedded sessions for customer-facing interactions and direct meeting joins for employees in Brazil. Operational coverage includes corporate functions and field teams, with the website embedding serving as the primary external access point for partners and customers.
Governance was handled through centralized administration of meeting policies, role-based host provisioning, and staged enablement of web-embedded sessions to control external access. Ongoing operational practices center on meeting lifecycle management, recording retention settings, and access controls to maintain separation between public website sessions and internal collaboration.
