This session showcased how an existing SuccessFactors Employee Central company's flows can be extended smoothly using applications either already available or freshly developed on the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. To illustrate the scenario, we will choose a particular use-case which Employee Central doesn’t cover, and see how we can address it. To make life more interesting - it's now possible to run such an extension completely for free on SAP HANA Cloud Platform trial landscape - check this out for more details: https://github.com/SAP/cloud-sfsf-benefits-ext
