Innovation in HR technology is accelerating, and organizations are under growing pressure to unify their employee experience across systems, channels, and touchpoints. At the center of this transformation is the strategic collaboration between Semos Cloud and SAP. This is more than a vendor integration. It is a long-term partnership rooted in a shared vision, technical alignment, and joint innovation on one of the world’s most powerful enterprise platforms. During a recent strategic session, Mick Collins, Vice President of Go-to-Market for SAP SuccessFactors, joined the Semos Cloud team to discuss the strength of this collaboration and the broader value it brings to enterprise customers. “You are one of the more active partners that we work with. We are always happy to support your work, and you have been tremendous in providing feedback to us on what we do,” said Mick Collins, SAP SuccessFactors. This partnership is not transactional. It is based on mutual trust, co-development, and a shared commitment to the HR community. For clients, this translates into seamless interoperability, accelerated implementation, and the ability to activate real-time employee experiences within their existing SAP SuccessFactors environment. What Is SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)? SAP BTP is the foundational platform that powers innovation across the SAP ecosystem. It brings together data management, analytics, artificial intelligence, integration services, and process automation into a single unified environment. For SAP SuccessFactors customers, BTP acts as the intelligent infrastructure underneath both native SAP modules and certified partner solutions like Semos Cloud. It enables everything from real-time automation in recruiting or payroll to AI-generated feedback loops to predictive analytics for workforce planning. BTP also supports extensibility, allowing enterprises to customize and build their services while staying fully integrated with core SAP applications. “BTP is really the foundation of what we do in SuccessFactors. It includes services for artificial intelligence, automation, and planning, and enables our customers to scale intelligently,” said Mick Collins. With BTP, organizations are no longer constrained by the limitations of out-of-the-box modules. They can create, connect, and continuously optimize HR processes in a secure, scalable, and intelligent way. Three Layers of Value for SAP SuccessFactors Customers As Mick explained during the call, customers running SAP SuccessFactors benefit from three distinct levels of innovation. This multi-layered approach is critical in enabling organizations to grow at their own pace while ensuring future readiness. Core SAP Innovation Customers have access to ongoing advancements in AI, career development, payroll, and analytics, many of which are developed on top of BTP. These innovations are automatically delivered through the standard SuccessFactors roadmap. Certified Ecosystem Partners SAP maintains a curated marketplace of over 350 partner applications purpose-built for SuccessFactors. Semos Cloud is among the most deeply integrated, offering native connectivity across recognition & rewards, communication, and performance. Limitless Innovation with BTP Through BTP, organizations can extend their SAP environment with new capabilities such as custom AI models, advanced workforce planning, or automated workflows. It provides a flexible, future-ready architecture for enterprise HR teams looking to drive transformation at scale.

It is also deeply embedded in how Semos Cloud and SAP collaborate on product design, roadmap alignment, and client feedback. This means Semos Cloud customers do not just receive certified integrations. They are part of an evolving ecosystem where product updates, customer input, and SAP advancements move in lockstep. This level of responsiveness and agility is rare in the enterprise HR technology space. In the case of a multinational company in the beauty and personal care industry, BTP played a foundational role in enabling Semos Cloud to unify recognition across 30,000 employees in 15 countries, with real-time automation, mobile access, and brand-aligned experiences fully integrated into SuccessFactors. Why This Matters for HR and IT Leaders For large enterprises invested in SAP SuccessFactors, selecting a partner that is built on BTP and embedded in the SAP ecosystem is not a technical detail. It is a strategic decision that affects the speed of deployment, quality of experience, and ability to scale. Semos Cloud solutions are purpose-built for SAP customers who want to go beyond basic deployment and truly unlock the value of their HR systems. With intelligent features, configurable workflows, and native SuccessFactors integration, the platform supports real-time recognition, feedback, communication, and rewards at a global scale.
