0:02 all right uh let me share my screen mhm let me know once you're able to see my screen I can see you so yesterday we have discussed about what's an Erp uh what is sap what is sap success factors how the implementation happens what happens in support mhm so now let's talk about different systems or how an implementation project is actually uh carried out mhm okay so let's say uh you got a requirement from maruti saying that this needs to be developed or implemented and by 6 months we want
0:49 to go live okay so what you'll be doing is uh you will have a you will have generally three different systems H okay so first one is a development system MH okay so are you aware of this uh setup which is called as a landscape landscape yeah land landscape of an implementation project no I don't know about this all right okay so we will actually have three different systems MH okay development quality and production okay all right so these are
1:37 three different systems in which we perform different activities okay this is the system where we generally start the implementation or the configuration or even if it comes to coding also if it's a programming based project whatever it is we always start the implementation in De velopment system okay okay and then this is the system where we start configuration configuring things and then we do the testing part okay okay so this system is called as development system and the testing that you do here in this system will be unit testing okay okay so unit testing will
2:25 be bits and pieces of testing not the complete process okay okay so let's say if maruti let's take an example of maruti let's say maruti says that okay I want you to uh create departments okay let's say it says that I have thousand departments in India and I want you to create the Departments and addresses for each department you create those objects called departments and you make sure you maintain the remaining Fields also which can capture the address of those departments mhm okay so all that um basic minimum testing will be carried out let's say if you want to try to create a new Department you will create a department
3:11 name the place of the Department location State probably the PIN code so are you able to capture those details as per the client requirement so it's a bits and pieces of each requirement that you're going to test in the development system mhm once you complete complete a particular process a small part then these changes whatever you do like let's say if your requirement is to create a department object okay and then once this is ready what you do is you move this change to Quality system okay okay the same configuration that you've done in your development system will be moved to your quality
3:58 system mhm okay so both systems will be very similar but the problem is first part first thing it's let's say okay I'll give you an example let's say if you are setting up uh your phone for the first time okay so if you buy two similar phones let's say you buy a iPhone and you buy a second iPhone so when you start the mobile for the first time both will have same settings it means it will not have anything once let's say you have set up your first phone with uh the date the location and whatever apps that you want you have installed everything and if you have to do the same thing in your second phone also you would start making the same changes in the uh in your second
4:45 phone also okay so similarly all the systems will be at the same level when you first set up the system so so when you start developing first changes you'll be doing in development once you do the initial testing and if you feel that okay everything is working fine you make the same changes in the quality system also okay so what happens is here we have different options either you can just like the way you set up your phone manually you can do all the changes manually in the quality system also or you also have an option to copy all the changes and send all the changes to a different system mhm okay so here you do the unit testing
5:33 which is the bits and pieces of testing and then here once you move the changes from your development to Quality here we perform something called as a uat mhm okay uat means user accept acceptance testing user acceptance testing okay yes okay here it is the user or the user from the client side a person from the client side like let's say here it's the developer who's going to do the testing you make some changes and you make sure that it is working as per the client requirement okay so here you will do the testing and you will confirm that okay
6:19 this is working as for the client but again you expect the client also to test from their side and make sure that they're happy with what you have developed hm with quality what we are providing correct so this is the quality system we move the changes to Quality system and we will send an email or a confirmation email saying that uh client we have moved the changes with whatever requirements we have discuss so far I want you to do the testing from your side so when we do do that we try to share the whatever test results that we have performed from the development system H okay we take all the screenshot and we'll show them that see this is what I have configured this is what I have tested if you're happy with this
7:04 result I want you to do another round of testing in the quality system mhm okay so when you move this changes to Quality system even you can do a round of testing just to make sure that you made all the changes correctly then once you're happy with your testing you will confirm to the user saying that the the requirement or the configuration is ready and you can start doing the testing so here in the quality system the users will do the testing which is called as a user acceptance testing okay so once they start testing they'll they might actually say that okay everything is working fine as per the requirement or sometimes what
7:50 happens is they'll realize that probably this can be improved or they might say that okay this is not what I wanted probably you might change you may have to change this part so this process keeps going back and forth okay okay so let's say just for an example we configured A+ B is equal to C and you this and you thought that it is working fine then you move this changes to Quality also okay and then here the user will test it and say why can't we make a plus B is equal to C1 because this is a better solution than the previous
8:37 one now it's your responsibility whether it is possible or not so you have to communicate to the client saying that it is possible if it is not then you have to give them a work around or you may have to tell them that it will increase the complexity and you may need additional time to deliver this so let's say if this can be delivered so again you you make some changes and then you make sure that you get the desired result once you get this you make the same changes in your quality system also okay so now it is a plus b is equal to C1 now the developer or the sorry uh you have done the testing it is working as per the client requirement the user might again do the testing and might again come back saying that see this
9:23 time I want a plus b is equal to C2 okay so as I've told you these things keep happening back and forth till the client is Happy okay so once all the requirements SL so for this is the first requirement then let's say you have come up with another requirement you have completed that equal to D1 now you made sure the even these changes are moved to your quality system even these are tested by the developer so in this way the number of requirements whatever that you keep configuring in developer system will be moved to your quality system and once all the testing is done okay before the go life date let's say we have started
10:08 the project in Jan on Jan 1st 2021 and we want to go live by 1 of July okay so from 1 of July they want to use this in the production system okay okay so it means all the testing has to complete before 30th of June M okay so we have to plan things accordingly and you keep making the changes you keep moving the changes to the Quality all the testing has to happen let's say probably by may end they want to make sure that all the testing is completed H so once the testing is completed now they have to do something called as cutover activities it means
10:54 all the changes that we have done so far in the quality system now they have to be moved to production system okay so the same uh changes that you've done earlier now will be part uh part of your production system also okay so once this is ready from 1 of July the uh the client will start maintaining the data in the production system okay so the uh this uh this concept of developing something moving to Quality and then to the production this is called as a landscape of your
11:40 system landscape of system okay yes correct so if someone will ask you what's your landscape based on the client the landscape will differ this is the minimum basic setup every client will have they will have one development system one quality system and one production if the client is very small probably then they will merge the quality system and development system okay okay so then you'll be left only with two systems production yeah devel production and production correct okay so this is very rare cases if it's a very small client and if they don't have too much of data okay let's say they have only th000
12:27 employees and uh they don't have budget to maintain different systems then probably they'll go with this setup but 99% of the times we always have a development system a quality system and a production system okay this is how it works and then on top of it there will be other systems also now I'll give you an example let's say you you are an IT company or let's say maruti okay okay you have a system a development system you have the quality under production and then you have other systems also where let's take the example of only HR for all the employees maruti will provide insurance
13:14 benefit okay so now you will be maintaining the data related to your dependents as an employee everyone will have dependence either you'll have parents or probably your spouse and your kids so when you maintain this details the company would say I'm going to give you insurance for around three lakhs per person so this insurance can be with any external company it can be with an ICA Lombard or probably HDFC live or LC so now when you maintain this data it is the company's responsibility to share this details with a third party company a third party company is your external company it is probably an insurance company or it can be a PF company H okay in case if we talk about UK it
14:02 will be National Insurance yeah ni ni correct so when you when you work for a company they have to share your information with the National Insurance so that they contribute some money to that uh National Insurance okay so this National Insurance is not part of your company it's a external company which is in in our terminology we call it a third party application or a third party H okay this is outside the organization so when we say an insurance provider is coming into place now we maintain all the employee data or the dependent data in the production system now when we are say
14:50 sending this data to this insurance provider where we are trying to integrate the production system with insurance provider okay did you understand this concept we are trying to integrate integrate yes yeah so we trying to send this data whatever dependence you are maintaining in your production to the insurance provider insurance company yeah correct okay and can we say uhhuh can we say can we
15:35 say that we are U we are doing we are taking this insurance company into our this one production yeah no we are not bringing bringing it anything we are just trying to link these two systems okay the linking of two different systems is called integration integration okay this integrating okay yeah so it can be an insurance provider it can be a benefits provider H it can be your National Insurance probably if some companies are providing car probably you might have to send the details to a a vendor who actually helps you with all the car
16:21 models so in this way there are several things that a company will be sending data from your production system okay so all these let's say insurance provider you have let's talk about uh India we have HDFC benefits provider probably let's say you are getting some additional benefits like uh gim you can s yes even that we can consider right National Insurance uh let's say here we have LC yeah government public sector yes and then let's say if you want to give some uh additional thing like uh let's say you want to go to a
17:07 gym or some recreational things and company has tie up with some company M okay you'll get certain discount right yeah exactly so when you're doing all this it means you're sharing some some of the information from your production systems to these all these companies okay okay so it will be about our employees about our employees exactly correct all the employee data is shared with these companies so all these companies are called as third parties third party okay or we also call it as Downstream systems okay Downstream
17:57 system so this these are called as Downstream systems and when you when you're trying to send this data or when you're uh trying to maintain this data in the production we also make sure that we are sending the data in the correct format which is accepted by these uh companies okay okay so you cannot just maintain the data as you want because you again have a responsibility to share this information with the downstream systems or the other companies h okay only then you will be able to go ahead with your implementation successfully okay let's say you're maintaining all the data correctly in your production system but you're not sending any of this information to any
18:43 of this company or the data is failing okay so let's say for your just for example we'll consider insurance provider so you are capturing your dependent details okay but let's say for your dependents you are not capturing their date of birth okay okay but every insurance provider they need your date of birth because based on your dat yeah based on your AG the premium will depend so for that case in case if you're not maintaining this data you forgot that okay this HDFC will ask for your dependent's age and you're not maintaining this data in your production and the data is not flowing to HDFC so the data will fail probably HDFC
19:28 might take the name of the dependent and how many dependents you have but because you're not providing the age it means HDFC will not be able to provide the required insurance true okay so it in uh in this way you have to make sure that whatever data that you maintain in your production and if it has to go to any third party system or any Downstream systems you have to make the uh data available in the accepted format MH okay or maybe you have to use a third party tool okay to again uh let's say see your production system will be now success factors H and this insurance provider is
20:16 a HDFC portal okay not only even HDFC even you for your salaries also your data needs to be sent to the banks right yes every company your bank doesn't know how much salary you are going to get every month probably if you have taken too many leaves the salary might get deducted so every month the data needs to be provided from the production system to the banks M okay so when you're doing this mapping of data you might actually have to use a third party tool also which is called as an integration tool H okay so when we are talking about a
21:02 landscape the minimum bare minimum things that is expected is a development system quality system and production system production okay but on top of it based on the how big the company is and to what all systems you're trying to integrate with what all systems is your Downstream systems the landscape keeps extending okay now I'll show you in paint the same thing okay now let's say we have this is uh development d
21:47 e sorry about the drawing no that's f d development yeah okay then we have Quality quality and then I'll show you a better picture in uh this one now we have production production okay so now this is the minimum landscape that is expected for every implementation project from here based on the complexity the number of systems keep increasing that you integrate with production you might have a bank okay you might have an insurance company you will have several vendors based on let's say if you want to join a gym probably company will tie up with some companies to get you some
22:33 discount mhm okay and let's say if you want to uh go to some resorts okay company expects you to go to a resort and uh spend some time with your family at least once in every quarter so to get some additional discounts probably you'll have to send those details to uh all the resorts which with which it has tie up with so in this way you are sending data to different systems from production so all this is still called as a landscape but as I've said this is the minimum landscape that every company has and this is these are all the additional integration Downstream systems which are linked with the
23:18 production okay okay bigger the company more the more the vendors are the third party Downstream systems MH because let's say if I'm talking only about maruti just for example probably maruti has manufacturing centers outside India also but let's say if maruti is restricted only to India probably you'll have these systems only restricted to all the Indian companies only but let's say if you have another company like Volkswagen now Volkswagen is part of like many continents and too many countries okay so it will have tie up with all the local vendors all the local banks in each country yes okay so it will have
24:05 different uh Downstream systems in each country so it will have probably hundreds of Downstream systems let's say even if we have five Downstream systems per country okay if it is existing in some 50 countries it means it will have to the production system needs to integrate with 250 different uh portals or 250 Downstream system right vendors yeah Downstream mode correct so that is what is called as a landscape landscape okay okay so let's see if I can find a nice uh uh this one no that's fine I got it system no probably you'll understand it much
24:52 better let's see okay this is this is some simple one H okay so this one see development server quality server and production server okay then we have present presentation layer application layer and database layer so this one uh it this is actually called as a three Tire architecture okay so when sap on prise was implemented it's called as R3 R3 means three Tire okay so what does three Tire means is presentation layer presentation layer
25:38 means the UI the front end part user interface user interface correct exactly okay so user interface is one your application layer so this is where the all the coding and the configuration happens okay okay and then database layer this is the place where all the data is saved your database okay H okay so this is part of one development uh system and the same will be part of the quality and production system also okay okay so as I've told you you will link the development to the quality and then from quality to
26:23 production production in case if the if there there are any uh changes are uh uat in case if the client is expecting some changes from uat in in uat Phase probably you may have to send some data from quality system to development system and you keep uh going back and forth between development and quality okay but to production it's always not with all the clients let's say uh you have lot of you have lot of data in your quality system okay and you can test few scenarios only in your quality system because the data is available in the
27:09 quality system only okay so but normally a developer will do the testing in the development server or the development system so because of the nonavailability of the data in development system probably the testing might not happen properly as I expected test we may have to go to Quality system every time so the client might say that okay please don't move all your changes to Quality system because it's going to impact okay so okay I'll I'll tell you one more thing here so when I get a requirement okay to make this a plus b and all that H to achieve this uh A+ B is equal
27:58 to C probably I may have to do several different permutations and combinations to get the requirement completed okay so uh how do I tell you this see normally when you get a requirement it cannot be a straightforward solution you may sometimes have to try different things to get the derived uh required result so in your development system you keep trying different things you will try a plus b is equal to C A + B B is equal to D A Plus B+ D is equal to C in this way you will try several things and finally you will think that
28:44 okay only a + m is giving me the value C okay so you tried three different things to get the desired result okay this is your requirement and only this combination is working so when you're doing configuring or do even in the coding also you try several things in your development system only the one which is working will be moved to your quality system not all the changes that you're doing in your development MH okay yeah and then only when you know that this combination is working only change will be moved to your production
29:31 system okay so you mean to say uh we have done something in development then we move that to Quality and in quality uh client has uh said like I need further uh inclusion in particular thing so again we will go to development phase and we will develop the same thing and we will move only particular thing which is satisfying client's requirement correct to the quality again exactly that's right correct absolutely okay okay okay got it so just to give you a like real time very V example I'll tell you something let's say uh someone wants you to cook something and you never cooked anything and you tried different ways and the only the best
30:17 tasting dis you will be presented to the client okay all all the remaining things that you've cooked which is like not really up to the mark you will just leave it there in the Kitchen in that way your development system is like your kitchen where you try different things and the best possible solution only will be moved to Quality and this will be tested by the users in the uat which is user acceptance testing in this way all the once there is a collection of items which have uh met the client's requirement once all this is meeting your requirement and your project is completed then all these changes at once will be moved to production system production okay okay this is our third party will be added and and
31:04 correct yeah so not all the data will be given to your third party let's say considering your bank account bank details you will maintain your bank account details so to the bank you will only give them how much salary you're supposed to pay and your employee ID that's it yes yes they don't need your birthday or your dependence detail doesn't matter Bank does not need those details So based on to which Downstream system to which third party system you want to send data you will decide what data has to be shared with them you don't have to share everything that you have okay and there we uh get into the concept of data privacy okay in Europe in particular we
31:52 have something called as uh DPR data privacy retention M okay so they are very strict with this laws you cannot keep any information which is not required to you which is like a personal information of someone even if you have them till you you need to keep them you can keep them and after that you have to make sure that you deleted you have deleted everything okay even for an employee let's say if I'm working for a UK company and then I left the company after probably after an year so the max they can keep the data is another 6 months because just in case if they have
32:37 to process something my full and final settlement and probably my national insurance and all that they might keep my data for another 6 months and after that they cannot keep my personal data with them okay auditing will happen and just in case if uh the Auditors will find out that companies are still keeping the all the unnecessary personal data with them regarding all the employees then it's it's going to have a huge impact on the company okay okay so this is called as a landscape now the landscap system lands system landscape correct M okay and uh uh if you've understood this
33:23 concept now we'll go into our success factors landscape okay okay so H in success factors we have we will have same setup okay but for development system we have two different things we have one called as provisioning system and the other one is called as BX or success factors instance okay so we have two different systems when it comes to success
34:09 factors okay so doesn't matter whe whether it's a development it's a quality or a production everything will have two different systems okay okay so in provisioning what we do is we do not configure anything but we just enable what we want okay okay so provisioning system is just like a system in which you enable or you switch on and switch off all the features that you will be configuring in your B system H okay so the actual configuration will happen in your Biz system or the SF
34:55 instance such this factors instance so we do all the configuration in your bizx system okay and in the provisioning system we only enable the enable mod we don't develop anything correct so enable the modules as for our requirements right right yes okay so the main platform where you would be developing or configuring is your on your success factor instance okay so your success factor instance will have different modules
35:42 like we discussed yesterday recruiting will be there employee Central LMS okay performance Performance Management and goal management succession okay in this way we have different modules so everyone all the clients don't have to implement all the modules okay some clients might say I want to implement only employee Central and recruitment so you don't have to really bother about enabling these modules in your system okay so to enable only these two modules first we need to log to the provisioning system and search for the relevant settings related to your Recruitment and LMS
36:29 okay only these modules related settings you will be enabling in the provisioning so once you enable those changes will reflect in your success factors instance okay okay you understood or is it confusing uh no it is not confusing I'll just explain once more okay now client is client is looking for only Recruitment and LMS module to be to configure okay okay so I'll I'll go to I'll go to provisioning system I'll enable the modules for only Recruitment and LMS which will be reflected into SF instance BX correct absolutely right correct okay
37:14 okay so uh now I'll show you what is a providing system and uh what is a success factor inst h okay so this is how a provisioning system looks like okay okay so here we have something called as a company ID okay so let's say I'll tell you uh something here you have you staying in a flat and you have a address right so if I post something or if I have to uh corer you something then I will give an address and it will reach you absolutely based on your
38:02 address okay similarly even in success factors your company ID is like your address it means now there are few thousands of companies in the world okay and each company wants to if let's say all those thousands of thousands of companies wants to implement success factors they will reach out to sap and they will take the subscription of success factors okay now I as a consultant want to make some changes that will reflect only to maruti okay so we will not have a common system for all the companies we will probably have a common data
38:49 center H okay but we will have have different systems for each and every company that is that has taken subscription from sap so as for their requirement requirement so let's say I'm I'm maruti CEO and I've reached out to sap saying that okay I want to implement success factors now sap will say okay you have to pay this much and I'm going to give provide you the details okay so when I take the subscription from them Let's uh let's say just like the way you have taken subscription to Ms word or MS Office mhm Microsoft will give you a unique ID okay which is linked to that particular
39:37 account okay that that ID will not match with any other ID in the world and only you will have access to that particular ID unique ID okay unique ID and only in case if you share those credentials with someone else probably even they can use that particular account okay okay so in similar way a company like maruti if they have reached out to sap saying that I want to subscribe for sap sap once the payment contract everything is done they will give them a unique ID which is the company ID so this is the ID with which a success factor system or the sap will identify which is the ID and who is
40:23 actually uh mapped to that which company is mapped to that particular ID right all right okay so this is the most important part and this is the only thing that will help you identify which company is it linked to okay now this one is actually named as Accenture it means this uh this is a demo instance which is linked to Accenture okay MH so now Accenture being a service partner it means it's it is going to service so many other companies we who wants to implement success factors so they will have few hundreds of instances or company IDs because they are demo systems but a company like maruti or
41:09 Microsoft or uh uh let's say BP bulletin or let's say bar all these companies will have only one unique ID they will not have two or three different company IDs MH Okay so when you want to make any change in your system you make sure that you use only this company ID or whatever Company ID that you are working for okay okay let's say if uh you are working for Accenture and you worked for two to three different clients okay so each client will have a different
41:54 ID true right so let's say by mistake you have enabled something for Microsoft instead of marui then it's going to be a huge impact Microsoft will be wondering like why did it got enabled or let's say by mistake even if you have enabled something that is fine but let's say if you have disabled some important functionality no then horrible thing will happen then let's say there are few uh thousands of employees who will get impacted and it's it's going to uh have a very bad impact on the company on the employees okay so when when you're making some changes you have to make sure that you are using the correct Company ID when it comes to provisioning system MH so this one it is showing only
42:42 one ID but normally in case if you're working on multiple projects you will see multiple company IDs here so if you're making some changes if you're enabling or disabling something make sure that you're selecting the com correct Company ID okay okay so next to make any kind of changes this is the login page once you log in this is the page all right so if once you log to provisioning system this is how you will see the homepage okay so here you will be able to see the list of companies that are linked to your login ID now let's say I am working only on
43:28 one project so I'll see only one company name here and if I want to see what all features are enabled for this particular company I have to click on this company name a sorry you will never have access to provisioning system unless you're working for a uh Service Company that's another concept which I'm going to explain now so let's say I've clicked this name of the company and now it will show me lot of settings here okay okay
44:14 so this is how you will see all the settings or the uh features related to different modules okay now this is related to documentation this is related to succession management okay succession yes competencies and skills these are related to your Performance Management okay managing plan templates even these are related to your per performance and management see these are all the settings related to your recruitment M okay so in the provisioning system as I mentioned earlier you will see the settings related to all the modules
44:59 okay now you have to select which module you want to enable and which feature you want to enable based on that you go into that particular setting and you start enabling and disabling things so for employee Central most of the work is Al always done here in company settings okay so I'll I'll come back uh to this once again for you to remember h H can I explain yeah sure definitely okay so uh for each company or each like you know whoever has taken subscription for sap success Vector it will be given a unique ID so if you want to disable or
45:46 enable anything you need to select particularly uh particular ID only you should not do like you want to do something for Microsoft doing something for ttcs correct cor so first thing you need to keep in mind and this this is unique ID which is very very important for each and every organization correct uh second one if you want to do some changes then you need to keep click on the company name like exchanger can you please click on that yeah okay now you open the uh company uh now whatever all the modules are here so whatever you want to change disable enable you can click on that and you can do it but most important thing is company setting so maximum things would would be happening in this section only uh for particularly for employee
46:31 Central module employ Central model yes yeah so when I click company settings mhm now I will see different settings related to employee Central module okay so look at the scroll bar so these are all the few thousands of settings that we have that we may have to enable and disable Okay okay so some of the settings will be already enabled and some of them you need to uh enable them manually or enable or even disable them manually based on your requirement mhm okay so here this is how you start enabling them you just check
47:18 whatever you want in this way H okay and these are all the languages sap success factor actually uh what should I say you you can actually configure different languages it supports different languages so we have so many languages so whichever language you enable here you can actually use that Lang uh language settings in your instance okay okay and then uh let's get into into this details of what uh we enable and what we don't so I just want to show you now like how we enable so we
48:03 just have to check this that's it whatever you want just check this and then you will see save button show you now so here you will see save feature when you click on this it will ask you for the company ID so this is where you need to give the company ID just in case if you uh give a incorrect Company ID it's going to uh be a very big impact okay so you have to always make sure that whatever you're enabling and disabling you they are reflecting only in the required Company ID not something randomly
48:49 cor yes correct okay so this is how we enable and disable things now coming to Prov system there's something uh important that you need to know about proing system only a certified consultant will get access to the provisioning system AA okay and the expectation from sap is that only a success factors consultant is capable to handle a provisioning system okay okay so in case if you are expecting to work on provisioning system then you should be a certified consultant that's the most primary thing
49:34 okay okay and then the second part is you should be working for a service partner or sap partner it means whoever is implementing success factors only they will have access to the provisioning system not the client okay okay so let's I'll come back to maruti because we started off with maruti let's continue with the same thing let's say maruti wants to implement success factors okay you want me to uh pause for a minute yeah please no no no you carry on all right okay all right okay so see let's say maruti wants to implement
50:19 success factors so let's say Mari has too much of money and they thought like okay I'll implement it myself let me start hiring some success factor Consultants it will not work that way sap made sure that all these companies who wants to implement success factors they have to reach out to a service partner either they have to reach out to sap or it can be Accenture deoy vipro or any IT company who is a partner of sap okay only they can initiate the implementation for any client okay okay you cannot do it on your own let's say I I'm maruti and I'm CEO I said like okay just give me the subscription and I'll start hiring
51:04 people and uh I will get the Consultants ready you might be able to hire consultants and they can work on success factors but they can work on the instance only they can maximum have access to the instance to enable these features to enable these features you should be tying up with a service partner okay and you understood this part or is it um I'm bit confused this okay see yeah I said we have two different
51:51 systems provisioning and physx yeah provisioning is the system where we enable modules and features and then just do the configuration so when we want to enable features okay when we want to enable any modules we need to use or with the help of a certified consultant okay but even if you are a certified consultant unless you work for a service partner you will not be able to get the
52:39 access to the provisioning system okay the certified consultant must be part of a service partner okay like let's say in Fe only when a certified consultant is working for any of these companies the list can be bigger all the it companies so only then they will get the access to the provisioning system okay let's say you have the we are taking the example of maruti maruti
53:25 has hired some C ified Consultants itself just to assist them with the implementation okay these people will not get access to provisioning system okay only the people who are working for a service partner H okay these people Consultants who are working for these companies will get access to the provisioning system okay understood so the company who are working directly for the client now maruti is the client H so the people who are working for client will never have access to the provisioning system it means maruti needs to go and
54:13 speak to or get a contract done with any of these companies M okay and these people will take some certified consultants and then these Consultants will have access to the provisioning system a let's say if for Implement to implement success factors for maruti sap or Deo see even sap also does implementations for some of the clients okay if it has shortage of resources it might say that okay you reach out to Deo or accent they might be able to help you H then maruti will reach out to let's say Accenture and Accenture says that I'm going to hire 10 Consultants so not all 10 Consultants need to be certified even if there is
55:01 one consultant a certified consultant that will be enough because that one consultant will get access to the provisioning system um confusion certified consult but sitation suppose I'm not certified I'm just learning from you correct so will I be able to do something of course that's I'm telling you right see I'm I'm telling you that maruti to implement success factors for maruti Accenture is let's say Accenture is the implementation partner okay okay and it said that okay to uh Implement for a project this big I want 10
55:48 Consultants okay team members out of this 10 even if I have one certified consultant okay okay that is sufficient that will be good enough because I I'm going to get the proing system and this guy will be able to enable everything the remaining nine people they will actually make the changes in the BX or the success factors instance so yeah provisioning we don't spend anything here it's only 1 percentage of the work 99% of the work is actually done on the
56:34 instance not on the provisioning system okay understood provisioning system enable disable 90% work would be done in BX only correct exactly and all the if only one certified consultant is there this guy will have access to both provisioning and success factor in but the remaining nine members who are not CER will be working only on B the cont yeah with this yeah yeah got it okay the reason why this thing has come up is sap wanted to make sure that only certified people or capable people are handling
57:19 the provisioning system I understood your point because this is very respons responsible work actually correct otherwise company will be l or whatever something happen yeah they can break a big functionality in the system by disabling something and sap will be end of the day Goodwill will lose for sap so sap does not take any chance correct that's right so we we don't call it as sap we always have to call if you're uh saying that you are experienced sap consultant you always have to say sap we gave it as sap but in German it actually it is s a i think this is how it is spelled okay okay it's not now because
58:08 uh we talk about this in English it is sap is full form of sap system application and product right see we we have come up with that application but actually sap is a German word okay don't remember so it has uh it is actually spelled something like this s a p uh I I'll try to find it out it's been long time no no I checked somewhere yes it has a full form yes in in English it has a full form but actually in German it is actually a different word say yeah definitely developed by Germans only yeah correct
58:53 system application and products yeah let's not get into this it's not really required at this point of time yeah yeah yeah so so uh now another thing is how do a certified consultant get access to the prising system okay now what happens is maruti reached out to Accenture okay and Accenture is implementing success factors for Maru maruti okay now maruti is the client okay and Accenture is called implementation
59:41 partner implementing partner implementation partner okay I I want you to make sure you know all this terminology yes yes I'm going to explain you once you're done yeah sure okay so Accenture will be the implementation partner so when Accenture is about to start the project it will say that I think we need at least one or two Consultants who will have access to the provisioning so what it does is it will ask the team members to send their certification details a so whoever is certified let's say even if one consultant is certified Isa details it will be shared with maruti saying that see I have a certified consultants and this guy is
1:00:26 the certified guy okay and remember even if 10 Consultants all 10 members are certified consultant that does not mean all 10 of them 10 members will get access to provisioning provisioning will be generally given only to the senior people a okay so even if 10 Consultants are certified probably only two of them will be given two or maybe three not everyone okay okay so Ina subka certification details will be shared by Accenture to maruti and every company every big company will have a it head M now this guy needs to send an approval email to sap saying that this
1:01:16 guy is a certified consultant and this are his certification details this is my company ID I've told you right earlier every company will have uh a company ID H let's say our company ID is marui 123 H now the head of maruti will take the details of these two to three different certified consultants and it will share it with sap saying that this people are certified and they want access to my provisioning system so which proing system this is the company ID to which they should have access okay so the it head will give the approval email and using that approval
1:02:02 email only they have to reach out to sap and sap will provide the access to the provisioning system only to these two to three people certified consultant correct okay that is how it works it's not in the hands of Accenture or it's not in the hands of maruti to start giving access to the provisioning system they have to reach out to sap requesting them to give them access so when you provide this two to three Consultants certification details sap will check in their system whether these Consultants are really certified or not and certified what is the process of getting
1:02:47 this like how you can be certified certification certification portal there you need to give your details you have to pay around 40K then you can they there are around probably 50 60 different certifications along with success FES even other modules are part of the certification Hub so when you pay 40,000 you will have access to six different exams a okay you can pick up whatever six that you want there's no restriction on that into success vector only there are six different exams not only success factors you can get certified in sap Hana you can get into arba you can do it
1:03:32 in conquer any product okay got it got it so will they be will so the 40,000 they are charging forly only for exam not for the training or something no nothing only for exam okay okay okay okay go and on after you take up the exam uh every 6 months sap will keep releasing some new upgrades a okay and you need to also complete those upgrades or or exams unit uh related to those releases or upgrades okay so to complete those exams you need to have access to something called as Learning
1:04:18 Hub okay and it is actually much more expensive oh okay so that is the reason I said uh it's not or necessary for you to immediately take up certification if you think that okay you're a to get an offer probably then you can okay so uh once you get the access to the provisioning then the consultant based on the module that the client wants to implement it will uh he will start enabling all those features in the provisioning okay M so once all those features are enabling enabled in the provisioning then we will get access to the instance
1:05:05 so this is what is called an instance this is how it is okay so when you login when you open the portal this is how it will be it will ask you for the company ID which is the unique ID for each company M only when you provide the ID it will ask you to give your login ID and password and when you try to give your login ID and password it will check in this particular company if this ID and password exists okay I'm logging into success factors instance this is the instance so earlier we saw the provisioning system M so these are all the different
1:05:51 modules in success factors instance okay so we here we we see goal management Performance Management 360 review compensation variable pay succession uh payroll recruitment onboarding offboarding reporting time management okay in this way all these modules you'll be able to see but there are few things you will not be able to see like let's say see when I'm trying to go here it is grade out M it says learning has not been licensed for your company yet it means you have not paid to sap for learning management system okay so only if you have taken
1:06:40 the subscription only those modules will be present for you to configure MH and then you can even enable the features in the providing system but unless you pay for that subscription even if you enable them in the provisioning system it will not work okay let's say you have paid only for employee Central and you're trying to enable uh something like offboarding and onboarding in provisioning system it will not work because you have not paid for it m okay so this is the system where you actually do all the configuration okay okay so here uh I want to start this topic from Tomorrow mhm uh so for this I'm today
1:07:27 I'm going to share a document called implementation guide okay okay it's like a Bible for all the implementation Consultants they refer to this document to uh check if the configuration is right and how to configure things sap has come up with this document sap provides these documents because probably we will not know what is there in sap system see this is a very big system and you uh unless someone will tell you or guide you or teach you you will not be able to know what is there and what is not there how to configure things all that will be part of your implementation guide okay okay so we refer to the implementation guide initially when we just started our success factors
1:08:15 implementations using those documents we used to come to the system check each and every uh page and then see we will try to explain what all options are there mhm okay so I'm going to share the document just in case if you get some time today just go through the document and in case if you have questions on that you can ask me anyway from tomorrow I'm going to show you implementation guide and we'll follow that implementation guide for few days okay uh N I have one question to you yes please okay uh so the recording which we are doing right now okay so you will be sharing on daily daily basis or all together it will come how it will happen I'll uh I'll try try to share them uh once in a while like probably every 2 to 3 days I I'll put them in a
1:09:00 shared folder and I will give you that and you can you can uh download it and you can watch it take so 2 three days 2 three days we can we can get it done okay and one more thing like you said uh once you get a offer from any company then you go for certification so it it
