The business challenge

HR documents were scattered across systems, countries, and local drives.

ContourGlobal needed a consistent global approach without weakening country-specific requirements or SuccessFactors role-based access.

—

Employee documents lived across Box, SuccessFactors, and HR teams’ local network drives.

—

HR could not easily see when certifications or other required documents were missing, creating compliance risk.

—

Employees and managers could not access the documents they needed without relying on HR.

The solution

A direct connection between SAP SuccessFactors and Box.

ContourGlobal selected docuflow after reviewing middleware options, consulting Gartner, and completing proofs of concept. The solution met its document-storage requirements, supported automation at a responsible cost, and provided the direct SAP SuccessFactors integration other options lacked.

Implementation approach

Standardize, migrate, connect, and enable self-service.

PHASE 01
Standardize

docuflow worked with ContourGlobal’s HR team to establish standard metadata and a taxonomy for employee documentation.

PHASE 02
Structure

A structured folder system in Box created a consistent approach to employee document storage.

PHASE 03
Migrate

Legacy HR content and employee documents were migrated into Box.

PHASE 04
Connect

Employee documents were automatically indexed and linked back to SAP SuccessFactors.

Key outcomes

One centralized HR content experience

ContourGlobal created a more consistent way to manage and access employee documentation across its global operations.

01
Centralized HR documents

HR content is stored and managed in Box as a centralized source of information.

02
Employee and manager self-service

Employees and managers can access permitted documents through SAP SuccessFactors.

03
Improved compliance visibility

Employee documentation can be searched to identify missing certifications and required records.

04
Standardized governance

Shared metadata and taxonomy support more consistent document organization across countries.
