The integration

SAP provides the structure. TechWolf brings the agility.

Most HR data is built around static org charts, not the work that drives value. TechWolf transforms SAP SuccessFactors from an operating system into a System of Intelligence by continuously inferring the skills that actually exist in your workforce

With Techwolf

Talent Intelligence Hub

SAP SuccessFactors (Operating system): The Talent Intelligence Hub acts as the brain of your strategy, housing the Job Profile Builder, Attributes Library, and Growth Portfolio.

System of Intelligence

Our AI identifies skills and tasks from day-to-day business tools (Jira, Salesforce, ServiceNow) and enriches SAP with a continuous, governed feed of intelligence.

How it works

The intelligence layer for SAP SuccessFactors

Let the work tell the story. We don't ask your employees to fill out forms or tag their skills. We listen to the digital footprints they create every day in Jira, Slack, and Salesforce, and turn those signals into the validated data your SAP modules crave.

Job profile builder

Job profiles that reflect reality

Job descriptions drift from reality the moment they're written. TechWolf analyzes what people in each role actually do and surfaces the skills that matter. Job SMEs validate recommendations in the TechWolf Console, then skills push directly to Job Profile Builder via our standard connectors.


New skills? They're automatically added to your Attributes Library to avoid inefficient governance processes.

Attributes library

Your skills taxonomy, always current

The Attributes Library is the foundation of everything in SAP SuccessFactors. TechWolf creates your Skills Taxonomy, delivers the tooling to effortlessly maintain and keep your Skills Taxonomy up to date, and seamlessly integrates with Attributes Library.

Add emerging skills as they appear in your workforce, enrich descriptions, and organize skills into clusters that become Tags in your Attributes Library for scalable reporting.

No more annual taxonomy reviews. No more stale skill libraries. 



Growth portfolio

Employees with actionable skill profiles

When someone completes a project in Asana, closes a ticket in ServiceNow, or ships code in GitHub, TechWolf infers the skills involved. The Skill Assistant pings them in Teams or Slack: "We noticed you demonstrated level 3 in Python and Data Visualization. Add to your profile?". One click. Skill validated. Synced to Growth Portfolio via REST APIs, and AI-powered career and talent recommendations unlocked.

No forms. No annual self-assessments. Just skills, captured from real work.

Business impact

Get more our of the SAP suite

You don't need more software to get better results. By flowing live skills data into your existing SAP modules, you make them work exactly the way they were designed to - helping your people and your business grow.

Skill-driven hiring

Great candidates don't always have the perfect keywords on their CV. We help SAP Recruiting look at the whole picture, skills, potential, and context, so you can find the right person for the job, even if their title doesn't match perfectly.

Upskilling & reskilling

It’s hard to know who needs to learn what. We map the skills your people actually have against the goals you need to hit, so you can point your SAP Learning budget toward the gaps that truly matter to the business.

Skill-driven internal mobility

Your best hires are often already on the payroll. We connect the dots between your employees' hidden skills and your open projects, helping them find their next great challenge without having to leave the company.

Skill-driven CPM

Performance reviews shouldn't just be a backward glance. We help managers and employees set dynamic, skill-based goals in SAP Performance & Goals, aligning personal growth with where the company is going next.

FAQ

Any questions?

Any questions about integrating with SAP? We’ve got them covered. Don’t see your question below? Get in touch and we’ll gladly help.

How does TechWolf integrate with SAP SuccessFactors?

TechWolf connects to SAP SuccessFactors through three bi-directional integrations:

  1. Attributes Library Sync – Your skills taxonomy stays current through file-based integration via SFTP and Integration Center. TechWolf's skills, including descriptions, proficiency scales, and skill clusters (which become Tags in SAP), sync directly to your Attributes Library.
  2. Job Profile Builder Sync – Job skills are synchronized via OData APIs. When job SMEs validate AI-generated skill profiles in TechWolf, those skills push directly to job roles in SAP—including any new skills not yet in your Attributes Library.
  3. Growth Portfolio Sync – Employee skills flow bi-directionally via REST APIs. Skills inferred from work are surfaced through the TechWolf Skill Assistant (in Teams or Slack), and once validated, sync immediately to the employee's Growth Portfolio.

All integrations ensure SAP SuccessFactors remains your system of record while TechWolf provides the intelligence layer.

What SAP SuccessFactors modules benefit from TechWolf data?

Once your Talent Intelligence Hub is enriched with TechWolf skills data, it powers experiences across the entire SAP SuccessFactors suite:

  • Career and Talent Development – AI-assisted career pathing and role readiness insights based on accurate skill profiles
  • Learning – Personalized learning recommendations that target real skill gaps
  • Performance & Goals – Skill-based goal setting and performance reviews
  • Opportunity Marketplace – Better matching for gigs, projects, and internal assignments
  • Recruiting – Skills-based candidate matching beyond keyword searches
  • Succession Planning – Identify successors based on validated skills, not assumptions

People Analytics – Workforce skill insights to answer strategic planning questions

How long does it take to implement the integration?

Implementation typically takes 4-6 weeks, depending on your current SAP configuration and data readiness. The process includes:

  • Week 1-2: Technical setup—SFTP whitelisting, API credentials, Integration Center configuration
  • Week 2-3: Taxonomy alignment—mapping TechWolf skills to your Attributes Library structure
  • Week 3-4: Testing in your SAP preview environment
  • Week 5-6: Go-live and validation

Customers with Talent Intelligence Hub and Job Profile Builder already enabled can move faster. Our team works alongside your SAP administrators to ensure a smooth deployment.

Does TechWolf replace SAP's AI features?

No—TechWolf complements SAP's AI capabilities. SAP SuccessFactors offers powerful AI features like skill inference from performance activities and resume parsing. These features work best when they have quality data to work with.

TechWolf solves the "cold start" problem by continuously populating your Attributes Library, Job Profile Builder, and Growth Portfolios with validated skills data from actual work. This gives SAP's AI engines the foundation they need to deliver accurate recommendations.

Think of it this way: SAP provides the platform and the intelligence. TechWolf provides the fuel.

What systems does TechWolf analyze to infer skills?

TechWolf connects to the business tools where work actually happens, including:

  • Project & Task Management: Jira, Asana, Monday.com, ServiceNow
  • CRM & Sales: Salesforce, HubSpot
  • Collaboration: Microsoft 365 (Teams, Outlook, SharePoint), Google Workspace, Slack
  • Development: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket
  • Support: Zendesk, ServiceNow

We analyze work patterns—not content—to infer skills while maintaining strict data privacy and governance. Employees always have the opportunity to validate inferred skills before they sync to SAP.

How does TechWolf handle data privacy and governance?

Data governance is built into every layer of the integration:

  • Employee validation: Skills are inferred, then surfaced to employees for validation via the Skill Assistant. Nothing syncs to SAP without employee confirmation.
  • Audit trails: Every skill inference, validation, and sync is logged and traceable.
  • No content storage: TechWolf analyzes metadata and patterns—we don't store email content, document text, or sensitive information.
  • Enterprise-grade security: SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, with role-based access controls.

Your data stays yours. TechWolf provides the intelligence; SAP remains the system of record.

What if we don't have Talent Intelligence Hub enabled yet?

TechWolf can help accelerate your TIH adoption. Many customers use TechWolf's skills data as the foundation for their TIH rollout—it's easier to enable a platform when the data is already there.

If you're still on Job Description Manager or an earlier configuration, our team can work with your SAP administrators to plan a phased approach: enable TIH, populate it with TechWolf data, and then light up downstream modules like Career and Talent Development.

Is TechWolf an official SAP partner?

Yes. TechWolf is an official SAP PartnerEdge Build Partner and is listed on the SAP Store. We're part of SAP's Open Skills Ecosystem, alongside other leading skills and talent technology providers.

Our integration has been validated for compatibility with SAP SuccessFactors, and we work closely with SAP's product teams to ensure alignment with their Talent Intelligence Hub roadmap.

Can TechWolf help with building and maintaining a Job Architecture?

No, TechWolf is not currently offering an off-the-shelf tool for creating a Job Architecture from scratch.

Coming Soon: We are actively developing these capabilities and will soon launch an Early Adopter Program. Our focus is on solving architecture blockers that prevent customers from fully leveraging Skill Intelligenc
