Turnkey Success: Getting Started with Semos Cloud Inside SAP SuccessFactors 

Author: Kristina Mishevska Last updated: August 27, 2025 Reading time: 4 minutes

You have seen what is possible when employee experience tools are embedded directly into SAP SuccessFactors. Recognition becomes visible and meaningful. Total rewards become clear and comprehensive. Communication reaches every employee. Feedback becomes a habit, not a hurdle. 

These outcomes are not theoretical. They are happening today in global enterprises that have chosen to act. The reason they achieved success quickly? The integration process is not long, complicated, or resource-heavy. It is turnkey. 

Semos Cloud was built to work inside SAP. Designed to meet the needs of HR, IT, and employees, its architecture is secure, scalable, and SAP-certified. There is no middleware to manage, no fragmented interfaces to train, and no additional platforms to maintain. What you get is a fast, elegant experience that feels like it has always been part of SAP SuccessFactors. 

Here is how organizations get started. 

Step One: Activate Semos Cloud Tiles in SAP SuccessFactors 

The journey begins with visibility. Semos Cloud modules appear as homepage tiles in SAP SuccessFactors. These tiles are what employees see when they log in: familiar, branded, and aligned with your company’s design language. 

Each tile connects employees to a specific experience that works in sync with SAP modules such as Employee Central, Performance & Goals, Compensation, or Learning. Employees do not need new logins or separate tools. They click and immediately start recognizing a peer, viewing their rewards, reading a targeted update, or accessing feedback-related tools. 

For organizations using SAP Work Zone, the same experiences are extended into the broader digital workplace. They are accessible through widgets, feeds, and responsive design. This ensures employees can interact with recognition, rewards, communication, and feedback tools directly in the flow of their workday. 

Step Two: Configure Integration: Secure, Native, and Efficient 

Integration does not require middleware or heavy IT involvement. Semos Cloud is built natively on SAP Business Technology Platform and connects to SAP SuccessFactors through certified OData APIs. 

That means: 

  • No CPI (Cloud Platform Integration) required 
  • No manual syncing or batch uploads 
  • No external identity or security layers to manage 
  • No new vendor landscape to maintain 

The platform supports Single Sign-On out of the box. It leverages existing SAP master data in real time so that every event, like a promotion, a recognition, or a learning completion, flows across the system without duplication or delay. 

All data remains inside SAP-certified environments, with governance aligned to GDPR and enterprise compliance standards. IT teams can trust the foundation, whether piloting one module or rolling out globally. 

Step Three: Choose Your Starting Point 

Semos Cloud is modular, allowing you to start with the product that solves your most pressing need and expand over time. 

Product offerings include: 

  • Recognition & Rewards: Enterprise-grade recognition programs with a global rewards catalog, integrated directly with SuccessFactors. Recognition data can also be pushed back to the SAP Employee Profile under “My Awards”. 
  • Total Rewards Hub: A centralized view of compensation, benefits, and incentives that enhances SAP Compensation and Employee Central. 
  • Internal Communications & Surveys: Personalized, targeted communication and surveys that reach employees across devices, including deskless workers via web and SMS. 
  • Feedback Intelligence: AI-assisted tools for structured, unbiased feedback, integrated with SAP Performance & Goals to give managers and employees a complete view of performance growth.

Each module is aligned with SAP’s data model and user interface. You can launch a single product or connect multiple ones through shared data and insights. The more you connect, the more strategic visibility you unlock. 

And you are not left to figure it out alone. Semos Cloud offers program design, configuration, and ongoing support services, from building recognition frameworks and communication campaigns to ensuring security and compliance across your SAP environment. 

Final Thoughts: Simplicity That Drives Speed and Scale 

Too often, organizations delay experience improvements because they assume integration will be painful. Semos Cloud proves the opposite. Built inside the SAP landscape, it extends the power of SuccessFactors without friction, without fragmentation, and without compromise. 

If your teams are ready for recognition that employees actually see, transparent rewards, communication that cuts through, and feedback that drives growth, Semos Cloud is ready. 

This is not a transformation that takes years. It is a configuration that takes weeks. It is a tile on your homepage. A recognition record visible in the Employee Profile. A message that reaches every employee, including those without a corporate email. 

Turn your SAP investment into a system of engagement.
