The next option is to contact your OpenText representative, who can supply an up-to-date list of OpenText preferred partners that have consultants who have completed the certification program. If you already selected a partner, they must complete the certification program prior to the start of the project.

A list of consultants that have obtained this practitioner badge can be found in the Credly digital badge directory.
It is also important to be aware that there will be some aspects to the implementation project that require involvement from a SuccessFactors certified professional. Certain standard integration tasks such as setting up the role-based permissions or configuring the single sign-on must be done by an experienced consultant who is SuccessFactors certified. This is a key requirement that should be factored into the implementation plan.
Once you have the certified team in place, you are ready to start planning your HR digital transformation. We wish you the best of luck and have confidence that you will have great success in your implementation and future roll-out of Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors.
