4 Executive overview Company objectives Business transformation Technology as a success factor The Academy Cube platform is based on the cloud SuccessFactors HCM Suite. Since Academy Cube was initiated by SAP, those in charge of the project felt it made sense to involve SuccessFactors experts when developing the plat form. A key criterion for the platform was that it must be as easy as possible to use both for end users and data administrators. In addition, the configura tion had to be flexible to accommodate frequent content changes that require quick information updates. The SuccessFactors solutions were con figured to meet the exact requirements of the project.
