Impact of third party cookies deprecation on SAP SuccessFactors |
|
Google has announced their intention of phasing out the third-party cookies support in their Chrome browsers in the second half of 2024 (blog post here). The reason for the change is due to the concerns regarding privacy implications related to user data tracking. The SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite utilizes third-party cookies for single sign-on (SSO) authentication. This can be achieved through migrating to SAP Identity Authentication Service (IAS) when integrating with other internal products. Also, UI embedding within iFrames uses third-party cookies. Due to the deprecation of third-party cookies, there could be impact on the single sign-on and iFrame embedding functionalities. Please read the details about impact in the SAP Customer Community blog. |

In November 2019, we launched a new version of SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding (aka Onboarding 2.0) built on the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and Platform frameworks within SAP SuccessFactors. This single platform approach offers our customers many benefits, both in efficiency and experience. SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding leverages the HXM suite. The newest version of SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding, focuses on integrating people, process, and technology to create modern engaging and efficient onboarding journeys that nurture talent and drive long-term success. SAP has determined we will begin the initial steps to sunset the SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 1.0 solution starting in the 2H 2025 release. At that time, the application will enter the End of Maintenance lifecycle phase. This also means 2026 compliance updates will not be made to the product through our typical patch process. However, the system will still be available for use. The deprecation of SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 1.0 planned for the 1H 2026 release. For more information, please review our Customer Community blog. We are encouraging our SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 1.0 customers to begin actively planning for their move to the new solution. |

Employers can use the current Form I-9 (edition date 10/21/19) through Oct. 31, 2023, but employers must use the new Form I-9 starting Nov. 1, 2023. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security has announced a further change, introducing a new, alternative process for Employers currently utilizing E-Verify the option to remotely examine documents going forward. to the blog to understand how these changes will be rolled out: https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/product-and-customer-updates/new-form-i-9-announcement-and-new-option-for-e-verify/ba-p/274405 |

We have released patches in June and July that fixed many of the known key issues hindering customer adoption. If your organization has opted-out Horizon theming, please consider testing and enabling now. You can learn more about this change on our SAP Community blog. |
