This release is the last one in 2015, but nevertheless it includes a lot of great enhancements across the SAP SuccessFactors® HCM Suite.

We have expanded on our Intelligent Services, continuing the transformation of the SAP SuccessFactors® HCM Suite from a series of isolated self-services to a series of integrated, intelligent end-to-end services. Why intelligent? Because not only do the services connect upcoming transactions, the system also predicts what should come next based on customer-defined rules. One of this quarters innovations, for example, is that managers get a notification when they have new direct reports reminding them to review goal plans and set goals with their new team members.

I really like our new "Out of Office" display status. Get the information when needed! The 'Out of Office' status is provided in the common interfaces such as People Profile, Quickcard, Org chart showing the status of employee leave information upfront without drilling into the profile details.
