SAP SuccessFactors has delivered enhancements and updates across the SAP SuccessFactors® HCM Suite as part of their Q4 2017 product release. Here are a few key updates you should consider for SuccessFactors Onboarding.
Product Features

The GDPR replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC.

Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe and address technological and societal changes that have taken place.
- Removes the need for national implementation across Europe
Represents the biggest reform of European data protection in 20 years
