How to improve the learning experience in SuccessFactors (without losing control) 

Every day, you do your best to deliver meaningful learning. You assign the right content, track completions, keep compliance on point. But still—something feels off.

Your learning platform might be doing what it was built to do, but not what your people need it to do today. They want a simple, engaging, mobile experience. One where it’s clear what to learn next. One where learning actually fits into the way they work.

And you? You want a system that doesn’t create extra work. One that helps you guide and support without navigating around limitations. One where you don’t have to answer the same learner questions again and again.

But you’re also tied to SAP SuccessFactors. It’s your backbone—reliable, secure, and deeply connected to your HR data and compliance processes. Replacing it isn’t just unlikely. It’s off the table.

So what can you change when the foundation has to stay?

A new way forward

Picture this: instead of logging into a rigid system that looks and feels the same for everyone, your people are welcomed by a modern, intuitive learning environment. One that reflects their role, their goals, and where they’re headed next.

The learning paths make sense. Everything’s in one place. The interface doesn’t get in the way—it guides the way. And all of this runs directly on top of the system you already trust.

That’s what Valamis makes possible.

It’s not a replacement—it’s an enhancement. A new layer that lets you upgrade the learning experience without disrupting what works underneath.

Make the experience yours

Valamis connects directly with SAP SuccessFactors, acting as a modern front-end that gives you full flexibility in how learning is delivered.

Instead of static lists and hard-to-find resources, your learners experience:

• Personalized paths that adapt to their roles and goals
• Mobile-first access that fits into their day—not around it

The result? A unified learning hub that brings together SF content, third-party libraries, and internal materials. All of it framed by a clean, intuitive interface that actually helps people learn.

And while the experience transforms, the structure remains solid:

• SuccessFactors stays your system of record
• Assignments, completions, and compliance data flow automatically
• No retraining. No data migration. Just better delivery.

The integration that works quietly in the background

There’s no complicated rollout here. Just a seamless connection between Valamis and SuccessFactors that:

• Keeps learning items, ILTs, and progress perfectly in sync
• Transforms assignments into engaging journeys
• Turns scheduled offerings into interactive, event-style experiences

Admins don’t have to babysit the system—and learners never feel lost.

And for your team? The change is just as noticeable. Suddenly, reports arrive faster. Fewer learners are stuck. There’s less back-and-forth over how to complete training or where to find key content. Things just work. And they work better.

From burden to engagement

You’ve probably felt the drag of trying to get people to engage with a system they don’t love. With Valamis, that pressure eases.

When learners actually want to log in, everything changes. Learning no longer feels like something to endure—it becomes something to explore.

And the difference often comes down to structure.

Instead of content scattered across menus or buried in hard-to-find modules, learners follow clearly mapped journeys. Each step builds on the last. Priorities are visible. Deadlines are clear. And most importantly—learners know why they’re doing what they’re doing.

Well-structured learning paths mean:

• Learners waste less time searching and more time progressing
• Content feels intentional, not overwhelming
• People see the connection between training and real-world growth

They engage more because the learning makes sense. They complete more because it’s easier to follow. They feel a sense of ownership in their journey, because it’s clearly connected to their role and their growth.

And you? You spend less time fixing issues—and more time moving learning forward. Less reaction, more impact.

You’re not just delivering learning. You’re shaping an experience people want to return to. With Valamis, that pressure eases.

Final thought

Modernizing the learning experience isn’t about replacing what works. It’s about unlocking what’s possible.

With Valamis layered over SAP SuccessFactors, you get the best of both worlds: a familiar, compliant, reliable foundation—and a modern, flexible, engaging experience for your learners.

The system doesn’t have to change. But the experience can.
