Cloud Learning Center
The Cloud Learning Center will remain open until September 30,
2016. We encourage all current CLC customers to begin using the
SuccessFactors Administrator Learning Center as soon as possible.
Beginning October 3, 2016, the Cloud Learning Center will be CLOSED
and no longer available for use. To prevent disruption of learning,
we urge customers to begin any new courses via the SuccessFactors
Administrator Learning Center.
Customer Performance Metrics Portal
On September 30th, 2016, the Customer Performance Metrics portal
will be discontinued. This standalone portal providing near
real-time performance metrics for Page / Module / Transaction /
Logins performance was a beta version. It is no longer supported
since we have a general version in place – the Performance Metrics
Portal (PMP). The PMP is available within the Product from Admin
Center.
Legacy Plateau Features
With the Q4 2016 release, we will begin removing unsupported legacy
features and modules from the SuccessFactors Learning product. This
includes major features, such as competency assessments,
performance reviews, goals, talent pools, and individual
development plans. Competency records will remain in the system as
competencies are still supported in Learning. The database tables
for the user history for these features will not be removed from
the Oracle database. You must import any system performance reports
as custom reports in order to maintain access to those reports.
Flash Org Chart in Position Management
As of the Q1 2017 release, Flash Org chart will no longer be
available in Position Management. Its replacement, v12, has been
available since 2014. The main difference between versions is look
and feel and HTML versus Flash. We encourage customers still using
Flash to enable the v12 version now to become comfortable with
it.
Standalone LMS Environments
With the Q3 2017 release, all Successfactors Learning customers
will be required to run the LMS in an integrated environment with
the Successfactors platform enabled. This change will only affect
the small percentage of our customers who are not already using
Successfactors Learning in an integrated environment. If you
have questions, please connect with your Customer Engagement
Executive, who will explain the benefits of using Successfactors
Learning in an integrated environment and help you formulate a plan
for transition.
Updated Subprocessors

portal by

Current SuccessFactors Requirements
Support for Internet Explorer 9 and 10 was dropped with SAP
SuccessFactors Q2 2016 release because Microsoft ended support for
these browsers on January 12, 2016. Read more in the
SuccessFactors System Requirements document.
