3 INEOS Styrolution SAP SuccessFactors from a manual to a global, cloud-based HR information system 3/6 The challenge As many other global players, INEOS Styrolution was in need of a global HR information system to maintain, administer and analyze their workforce master data without big manual efforts. The goal was to bring many different country-specific HR systems and processes on one global INEOS Styrolution HR environment in order to harmonize master data management, talent management processes and the global organizational structure. All this within a tight timeframe of less than nine months. The project The primary objective was to optimize and harmonize HR processes worldwide by implementing a state-of-the-art, all-in-one solution. It extended into the following particular project deliverables: The transfer of HR data into the cloud with the implementation of Employee Central as a globalized master data system The rollout of Onboarding and Recruiting with worldwide standardized processes The implementation of an interface from SAP SuccessFactors to their IT management tool ServiceNow to include already existing global IT processes The combination of SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, Recruiting and Onboarding as an overall integrated endto-end process, fully integrated with the ServiceNow IT management tool The worldwide rollout of LMS (Learning Management System) integrated with the other modules The implementation of all the above in a big bang approach in only eight months The rollouts for Compensation, Performance & Goals and Succession in additional waves in 2018 After a long and thorough evaluation process, INEOS Styrolution chose SAP SuccessFactors as their preferred HR cloud software provider and tts as their preferred implementation partner. SAP Success- Factors offered a clear advantage over competing vendors in terms of 3rd party connectivity and match for their business process requirements. tts has a lot of experience with global SAP Success- Factors implementations and had convinced the stakeholders with its knowledge and open, straight talking consulting approach.

4 INEOS Styrolution SAP SuccessFactors from a manual to a global, cloud-based HR information system 4/6 The implementation Lead by Albert Tomaj, Global IT Program Manager and experienced project manager at INEOS Styrolution, the project started in May 2017 with a global kick-off workshop with the aim of going live with Employee Central, Recruiting, Onboarding and LMS in all operating countries at the beginning of January Given the tight timeframe, the client ensured the availability of enough qualified internal HR resources who fully dedicated their work to the project, and fulfilled the difficult task of bringing the local HR processes to a global standard. They were supported by an extended project team drawn from the local HR teams in the three global regions. tts itself fielded a team of very experienced and highly dedicated consultants. Both INEOS Styrolution and tts acted as one team throughout the implementation process. In the end, the focus on building global processes together with good communication and commitment from both parties were critical to the success. INEOS Styrolution went live with Employee Central, Recruiting, Onboarding, LMS and the ServiceNow integration in January 2018, exactly eight months to the day after kick-off. This was made possible due to excellent guidance by tts, combining deep knowledge of standard SAP Success Factors processes with the integration of a 3rd party software. I want to thank the whole tts team for the hard work and their commitment. The staffing was very well selected and we got all the necessary support throughout the project. The whole project team consisting of tts and INEOS Styrolution colleagues felt as one team and this made the go-live possible in record time. HR, IT as well as our management board are very satisfied with the result and we are receiving positive feedback from several businesses across the globe.

5 INEOS Styrolution SAP SuccessFactors from a manual to a global, cloud-based HR information system 5/6 The benefits With this project, INEOS Styrolution has created global standardized HR processes in recruiting, learning, on- and offboarding and employee lifecycle changes. Local tools in Learning and Recruiting have been replaced with a modern stateof-the-art and user-friendly HR system. There are consistent employee self-service and manager self-service processes with corresponding workflows and approvals. Employee Central is the platform for these processes with a harmonized global HR structure including position management to support budget control and a functional organizational structure. With all employee master data in one global, centralized HR information system, INEOS Styrolution is able to monitor and analyze their corporate HR data and KPIs with equal measures, providing their senior executive team with important workforce intelligence. As it was set out initially, there is now a consistent joiner / leaver / mover process throughout the company. tts implemented this end-to-end process using the full potential of integration within SAP SuccessFactors as well as to 3rd party software. It starts in Employee Central with the approval of a new position. This triggers all necessary organizational information linked to this new position and converts into a requisition in Recruiting. Having applied to the requisition, the successful candidate goes through the new, harmonized Recruiting and Onboarding processes. The final hire in Employee Central triggers a two-way integration to and from the IT management tool ServiceNow, managing the provision of IT hardware, software access and an active directory entry. The improved procedure has already created enormous time savings. INEOS Styrolution and tts are now looking forward to the implementations of SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, Performance & Goals, Career Development and Succession, once again with the objective of using the full potential of SAP SuccessFactors to optimize and simplify HR processes in the cloud.
