ContourGlobal Transforms HR Content Management with docuflow for SAP SuccessFactors

ContourGlobal — Transforming Global HR Document Management with docuflow

ContourGlobal, a global leader in power generation, operates across 22 countries with 138 power plants. Managing HR documentation for thousands of employees was fragmented and inefficient, with files scattered across Box, SuccessFactors, and local network drives.

The company needed a solution to:

  • Centralize HR documentation for global access
  • Standardize employee document storage
  • Streamline audit readiness and compliance
  • Enable secure, role-based access through SAP SuccessFactors

Partnering with VersaFile, ContourGlobal implemented docuflow for SAP SuccessFactors to establish Box as the single source of truth for HR content, ensuring global consistency and compliance.

Key Outcomes of docuflow Integration

  • Global HR Document Centralization: All employee records are now stored and managed in Box, linked directly to SuccessFactors.
  • Enhanced Audit Readiness: Documents are automatically indexed and linked, making audits faster and more transparent.
  • Standardized Metadata & Governance: VersaFile helped design a structured taxonomy for document consistency across 22 countries.
  • Self-Service Access for Employees: Employees and managers can now access HR documents directly through SAP SuccessFactors.
  • Reduced Compliance Risk: Automatic alerts for missing or expired documentation, ensuring global regulatory compliance.

Overcoming Global HR Challenges — A Path to Standardization

Before docuflow, ContourGlobal faced:

  • Scattered Document Storage: HR files were stored across multiple platforms without consistency.
  • Access Limitations: Only HR managers could access documents, making employee self-service impossible.
  • Compliance Gaps: Missing certifications or documentation could lead to costly fines or operational risks.

docuflow, integrated with Box and SAP SuccessFactors, provided a centralized, compliant, and globally accessible platform.
