Complexity in the modern
company—especially the
modern IT department—
is astounding. Often,
businesses are using
so many different
types of hardware,
software,
applications,
and cloud
services,
each siloed off and not able
to communicate with one
another, that it’s difficult to
get the job done.
The San Francisco 49ers front
office understood this all
too well when the NFL team
moved to its new home in
Santa Clara, California. In just
one offseason, the team saw
its staff grow from 125 full-
and part-time employees to
more than 1,200.
What’s an IT department to
do? First, reach out to SAP.
“When people think about
disrupting instead of being
disrupted, they turn to SAP
for help,” said Steve Shute,
SAP North America’s Chief
Operating Officer.
The 49ers implemented
several of SAP’s services,
including the cloud-based SAP
SuccessFactors Recruiting,
SAP SuccessFactors
Employee Central, and SAP
SuccessFactors Performance
& Goals solutions.
