The motto of SAP’s latest Hack2Build event was “Build Enterprise Planning applications using SAP Analytics Cloud”. IBsolution participated in the Hack2Build with a team of six colleagues. Within a week, the experts from the Heilbronn-based SAP consulting company developed a prototype that bridges the gap between a measure-based approach in the HR department and a transaction data-oriented concept using SAP Analytics Cloud with regard to personnel planning. The solution presented was awarded second place at the Hack2Build.
The starting point was the real use case of a company whose personnel planning requirements cannot be mapped with existing SAP resources. The solution implemented by IBsolution enables measure-based personnel planning with the help of SAP Analytics Cloud. The planner’s effort is significantly reduced by defining various measures – entry, leave, change, working time increase, working time decrease. Personnel planning is carried out on the basis of these measures. Clear dashboards visualize the relevant KPIs.
In perspective, the prototype offers various starting points for further development. For example, the inclusion of strategic content, such as personnel development, training and skills, is planned. Another option is to integrate intelligent technologies such as machine learning to drive automation in business and personnel planning. IBsolution’s Hack2Build prototype has the potential, once it has been further developed into a market-ready product, to provide an answer to the current challenges faced by medium-sized and large companies in personnel planning.
