ePFile-FAQs
How long does it take to implement ePFile?
Implementation for ePFile typically takes 2-4 weeks as it natively connects to SAP SuccessFactors to
pull document categories and role based permissions.
Are there any prerequisite SuccessFactors modules to implement ePFile?
Because ePFile pulls documents from SuccessFactors modules, as long as customer has a module
implemented and is storing files through that module, ePFile will be able to manage those documents.
Can we mass upload files into the solution?
No, because each employee p-file needs to be tagged to an employee. In addition, there may be
different workflows for each document being uploaded.
How much does implementation typically cost?
As part of our GTM strategy, Rolling Arrays committed to waiving implementation fees for all of our
add-ons.
Who will implement these add-ons for customers outside of Singapore and Malaysia?
As these solutions are built specifically for SuccessFactors and are directly integrated via BTP, EC
consultants should be able to implement. Rolling Arrays will step in to assist in the implementation of
these solutions at no additional cost.
How do the licenses work for ePFile? By active users?
Yes, licenses and pricing are solely per user.
Are you also able to integrate with Work Zone to be surfaced through API on UI Cards ?
We’re working towards this – expect to see this in the near future.
Have you done any implementation of this solution for European customers?
Not yet, however we are more than happy to do so if there is a requirement (:
Are there any prerequisite SuccessFactors modules to implement ePFile?
Since ePFile pulls documents from SuccessFactors modules, as long as customer has a module
implemented and is storing files through that module, ePFile will be able to manage those documents.
Contractually, will add-ons be signed on SAP paper or Rolling Arrays paper?
For now, add-ons are signed on Rolling Arrays paper until it is available on SAP price list. However,
we are very flexible with our contracting.
Is it in the roadmap to make the user experience appear more aligned with SAP SuccessFactors?
Yes. We have updated the UI in the past to fit the previous SuccessFactors UI. Now that there is a
new Reimagined UI, we intend to update to keep up with SuccessFactors, once that rollout is finalized
and stable.
What is the target market or positioning of this product - Mid-Market or Enterprise?
Because ePFile is an extension of SAP SuccessFactors and is priced on a per employee basis, we
find that pricing typically clocks in significantly lower than with other document management tools.
From an SAP angle, both Mid-Market and Enterprise are solid spaces to tap on if a customer meets
the profile above.
Is there a limit to the storage space?
No additional storage is required, since all the documents are stored in SAP SuccessFactors already.
What are the unique selling points of ePFile when compared with OpenText?
ePFile is integrated with SuccessFactors, making it easier to organise all of your organisation
documents stored withing SuccessFactors already. It is also lower in cost when compared to
OpenText. For a more detailed comparison between ePFile and OpenText, please refer here.
