It is very rare that I am so pleasantly surprised - SAP has launched another innovative solution. Thanks for being innovative. Tried to activate the integration center in my demo instance, actually a very easy process so-far. Yes, it is true SAP SuccessFactors can be easy! 
Plug and play.
Five minutes and you are live with your integration center. Enjoy!
But where do I find information about how to activate and use the integration center - firstly it is now a part of the THR80 Introduction to SuccessFactors, Academy training on Learning Hub. Furthermore you can access more information on this link Integration – SAP Help Portal Page.
If you're a customer, IT vendor or SAP Consultant - you know that integration is always a problem that can create problems and possibly extend projects. Perhaps SAP have launched a solution so the risk can be less - in the form of the integration center.
But what is the integration center? SAP describes it as;
”The Integration Center enables HR business analysts to build, deploy, and monitor simple file-based outbound integrations. You can build integrations quickly and easily through a guided workflow. Predefined templates are available and you can also create your own templates. You access the Integration Center from the Admin Center.
In the Integration Center, you can build customized file extracts using any data that is accessible through the catalog of SuccessFactors OData APIs. For example, you can use the Integration Center to execute or schedule a job to export a provider-specific OData object to SFTP, based on defined filter conditions and applying a provider-defined output order and file format.
The files generated in the Integration Center are directed to a configured SFTP server location. They are fully ready to be imported to the external provider system that needs synchronized data with SuccessFactors applications.”
It all sounds super good - but do I now have to build my own integrations. It does not look like that > SAP delivers today 67 predefined integrations.
And if I'm not mistaken > then the future will bring a lot more. This is only the beginning > a huge differentiator compared to other cloud providers.
