With integration across each solution in cloud and on-premise environments, SuccessFactors solutions and the SAP® Cloud for Human Resources portfolio enable companies to choose the solutions they need to develop and maintain a high-performance workforce while still building the long-term, end-to-end HCM system blueprint. This means that if business needs change in the future, companies will have the flexibility to expand their HCM solutions and easily integrate them into existing systems. New customers that have chosen SuccessFactors and SAP include:

• Live Nation, a U.S.-based live-events company, selected solutions from SuccessFactors and SAP to better understand its target audiences for each venue as well as fan demographics of its artists.
