Teleflex, a leading global provider of medical technologies, had been utilizing the legacy SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding module (Onboarding 1.0) for its HR processes.  Onboarding 1.0, while functional, lacked the robust features and functionalities required to support Teleflex’s growing global workforce.   

The system struggled to keep pace with the company’s evolving needs, particularly in areas such as data integration, process visibility, and user experience.  Teleflex sought a more streamlined and user-friendly onboarding solution to improve the overall onboarding experience for new hires and enhance HR efficiency.   

In their search for a partner to facilitate this transition, Teleflex turned to AspireHR, a recognized SAP SuccessFactors implementation specialist with a proven track record of success.
