What “Lessons Learned” would you provide to others implementing with this partner / software? What else would you tell us about your project experience?
When we started implementing SAP SuccessFactors, we hadn’t planned on using CodeBot. Our project faced early setbacks, including inaccurate initial estimates and client resistance to change orders, partly due to vagueness in our Statement of Work (SOW).
Our perspective changed after discovering CodeBot for SAP SuccessFactors through LinkedIn videos. We integrated it into our project, and the results were transformative. CodeBot dramatically reduced the man-hours needed for configuration and migration, making our processes more accurate and efficient. Despite exceeding our original timeline and budget, the cost would have been 2-3 times higher without CodeBot.
Importantly, CodeBot allowed us to offer specialized, “à la carte” services to our client at “buffet” pricing, benefiting both parties. Overall, CodeBot has been a game-changer, optimizing our work and enhancing client relationships through improved clarity, efficiency, and financial flexibility.
