Topaz Bridge S2: A native Microsoft® SharePoint® application delivering easy-to-use SAP® HCM Self-Service

Now you can provide an easy-to-use self-service solution to everyone in your organization while maintaining all the enterprise-wide compliance and data integrity of SAP® ERP software. Additionally, for companies who have already deployed SAP Netweaver®, your investment will be significantly enhanced by incorporating the user friendly self-services support provided by Topaz Bridge S2 into your existing environment. Topaz Bridge S2 combines the flexibility and ease of use of SharePoint® Services from Microsoft® with the management controls of SAP software to provide a self-service solution that can be rolled out across your organization with minimal training and customization costs.

Topaz Bridge S2 Offers You:

  • A complete self-service solution for managers and employees: Manager and employee self-service functions include employee directory, managing personal information, leave requests and other personnel change requests (PCRs), universal work list support, time reporting (coming Q4 2009) and travel and expense management (coming Q1 2010)
  • Global readiness: Topaz Bridge S2 includes multi-language support out of the box, and custom views for different locales require little or no re-configuration
  • No-code customization: Business analysts and administrators can quickly adapt the Topaz Bridge S2 interface to meet the needs of different departments or locations without involving expensive development resources
  • Reusable HCM components: Topaz Bridge S2 includes multiple SAP HCM-specific Web Parts that can be composed into different reports and interfaces to meet your needs
  • Control: Your SAP ERP software maintains all control over HCM business processes. Topaz Bridge S2 does not duplicate data and relies on roles and authorizations you've defined in your SAP ERP software to access and update data appropriately
  • Reduced training and support: Every employee can access SAP®-managed information using the familiar interface of Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server with role-driven guidance and information provided with each step. If you've implemented a corporate intranet in SharePoint, employee self-service training should be minimal
  • Faster, low-cost configuration: Using Microsoft ASP.NET® forms to link directly to SAP HCM workflows reduces the need for specialized SAP programming skills. Using ASP.NET results in better performance, better usability features and a more flexible user interface. Developers can create new Topaz Bridge S2 pages and forms without writing complex SAP code
  • Shorter deployment: Topaz Bridge S2 automatically creates data connections from SAP ERP to SharePoint Services from Microsoft
