In just 14 weeks, Arvato Financial Solutions implemented manage workforce software, which includes the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central solution, using SAP Model Company for HR. As a result, Arvato has been able to rapidly simplify organizational structures, streamline HR processes and improve efficiencies across 3,500 employees in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands. The announcement was made at the SuccessConnect® event taking place June 18–20 at CityCube Berlin.
