Reimagined Home Page Universal Upgrade

The Production Universal Upgrades are underway on target to be completed by December 9, 2022. Currently, more than 3000 customers are successfully using and deriving value from Reimagined Experiences. We hope you are in the final stages of completing your self-migration to avoid the universal upgrade. The universal upgrade is a mechanism for SAP SuccessFactors to upgrade customers who have not completed the process.

Waiting for us to upgrade your instance will create a less than ideal user experience and will still require configuration to meet your needs. We encourage you to complete your self-migration prior to the universal upgrade window that was communicated in August. To assist in your journey, we offer numerous resources and weekly office hours which are available on our SAP SuccessFactors Community blog.
