The HCM Problem

Problem:• No single HCM system ever satisfies all requirements

Traditional Approach:• Select a principal system of record and then interface to proprietary built specialty products to fill gaps

Issue:• Integration complexity

• High costs – including multiple hosting fees

HCM Mashup Builder

What is it?– A development framework

– A model driven approach to application assembly

– A series of packaged objects, data validation rules, formulas and components needed to assembly a working system

– Application development specification for the Force.com platform to extend HCM functional capability

Can be used to build custom applications, as a principal system of record, as a data warehouse for reporting or as a portal with plug-in points for specialty solutions

HCM Mashup Builder

How does it work?– Customer contacts CET partner to open

Salesforce.com account and install HCM Mashup package

– CET Partner helps install package and set up environment

– Customer developer works with Force.com application features to build solutions

– Customer receives access to CET Community Wiki to access component information and collaborate with other developers

– Customer brands, deploys and maintains their own HCM component solution


Advantages of HCM Mashup Builder

• User controlled– Branded as own product and maintained by own team

• Can add new functional features that HCM vendors consider too small– Customer has control of own objects, views, reports and

security access– Open source, re-usable code and Wiki support

• Can be deployed to as many users as necessary– All the scalability features of the Salesforce.com product

• Runs on a robust application platform– Has all the security features, reporting capability and

development / production environments used by the Salesforce.com CRM application


HCM Mashup Builder

HCM Mashup Builder is supported by a collaborative environment -the CET Community


HCM Mashup Builder

The HCM Mashup Builder is developed entirely with Force.com “native” features. It is suitable for business users as well as developers. There is no need to program – it is all point and click.

If the client is a Salesforce.com customer, using their CRM, the HCM Mashup Builder can be installed and up and running almost immediately on the same hosted platform.

Once HCM Mashup Builder is installed the client can start adding custom objects and fields to build company specific applications



Wiki Support

The CET Wiki applies the principles of re-usable code to copy and paste from the CET Wiki to the client’s HCM Mashup Builder application


Wiki Support

Hyperlink to CET Wiki at field level within object

Picklist values to copy and paste to Force.com application

The CET Wiki applies the principles of re-usable code to copy and paste from the CET Wiki to the client’s HCM Mashup Builder application

Note: The link between fields in the HCM Mashup Builder and the CET Wiki is maintained by attaching hyperlinks to the Force.com fields. Clients may wish to apply their own menu structure that may differ from the standard HCM Mashup Builder menu or the CAM structure and the hyperlink avoids the need to manually map the links


Risk Minimization - It’s FREE

Salesforce.com offers a FREE Force.com instance to develop applications

Before committing to the Force.com platform companies are able to evaluate whether the platform is right for them

Visit www.salesforce.comfor more information

NOTE: The free Force.com instance has limitations and the HCM Mashup Builder package cannot be installed on the free Force.com version. Companies will need to have an Enterprise edition or greater to use the HCM Mashup Builder

http://www.salesforce.com/


HCM Mashup Builder Menu

The native Force.com application allows a maximum number of Tabs. To navigate through the system without resorting to Visual Force or external programming the HCM Mashup Builder provides a set of sub-menus to allow further drill down


Process Examples, Views and Report Access

Users may click on the Business Process box to bring up process flow diagrams as examples

Users may click on the View Records box to bring up a list of views available and edit if they wish

Users may click on the Reports box to bring up a list of reports available for the function


HCM Mashup Builder –CAM Components

The Force.com components that can be assembled to produce a working HCM system can be transactions that update the database and apply objects, fields, data validation rules, picklists, etc. or they can be a view of the data or a report. The diagram below illustrates the role views and reports play to support business processes.


The CAM View Components

HCM Mashup Builder users can select a view of the system data.The views can be edited to add or delete fields.Views are based on objects and each object can contain multiple views of the data

Drop down view menu in the HCM Mashup Builder


Component Views

The View facility allows clients to select records or view records displayed in any order


HCM Mashup Builder Contains the CAM Reports

The report library that extracts information from the HCM Mashup Builder database is packaged with the application and installed on the client’s Force.com instance

Note: There are over 200 reports assembled into the 33 folders that represent the CAM structure and HR business functions


Report Folders

The 33 report folders contain the CAM components that are defined as reports


Report Folder Contents

HCM Mashup Builder users can choose a report from the CAM structured report folders or build a new one


HCM Mashup Builder as a Portal

As well as providing a development platform to extend HCM functional capability HCM Mashup Builder can act as a portal to provide a system entry point and integrate with a company’s principal system of record and any other specialty products by mapping to the object database consistent with the Component Assembly Model


Competitive Edge Technology’s CET Community

CET provides a Wiki for developers and HR business professionals to market their component products or develop their own mashups

The Commercial Component Registry structure is based on CET’s Component Assembly Model and provides an opportunity for community members to buy, exchange, or develop their own component products. Members can copy and paste formulas, picklists, and other Force.com building blocks into their own application


The Role of the Component Assembly Model

The Component Assembly Model provides a defined framework for mashup application development on the Force.com platform to solve the functional gap between HCM system of record capability and client requirements.Clients can extend the capability of their principle HCM solution product or build their own entire solution.


Component Assembly Model (CAM)

CAM is a common data model for HCM

CAM plays a central role in the CET ecosystem– GCX Select, GCX Declare and HCM Mashup Builder are all based

on the CET Component Assembly Model (CAM)

– CAM has evolved for the Human Resource Component Application Standard (HR-CSAS) first published in 2004 for the On-Premise environment and now designed for the On-DemandForce.com platform

– CAM is used by the Global Component Exchange (GCX), the Global Component Factory (GCF) and the Commercial Component Registry (CCR)



The Component Assembly Model is built for the Platform-as-a-Service environment and based on the principles of Component-Based Development



The Component Assembly Model is built for the Platform-as-a-Service environment and based on the principles of Component-Based Development

Components can be built by developers in their own Force.com environment (based on the object structure of the CAM) and packaged and integrated into the client’s Force.com instance


Component Assembly Model – Based on HR Business Process

The Component Assembly Model is based on business process: The Wiki contains over 40 examples


Component Assembly Model –Menu Structure

The Component Assembly Model goes down to the data level and provides Force.com object and field descriptions for developers


Component Assembly Model Expansion

Members of the CET Community can paste comments on the CET Wiki to request additional items for the Component Assembly Model


CET & Partners Service Offering

Specify Requirements– Customer works with CET consultant or partner to specify

requirements using GCX Select– Partner registers customer and receives log-in account(s) for 2
