BCS Motion
BCS Motion (formerly Centric Motion) is an HR and payroll solution that reduces administrative overhead by combining recruitment, onboarding, and e-learning in a single platform. Employees, managers, and HR professionals benefit from one unified digital work environment that supports all tasks related to HR management and payroll administration.
The HR department plays an important supporting role for the business. As an HR professional, you need the right tools to perform your HR management and payroll responsibilities as effectively as possible. BCS Motion supports you in this. The solution delivers an optimized workflow, reduces the number of human errors, and keeps the focus on your people.
Organizations face ongoing pressure to attract the right talent, which is a challenge in today's competitive labor market. Once you have successfully brought a talented employee on board, you want them to be productive as quickly as possible. This requires preparation to ensure that the new employee has the accounts and access rights they need from day one. Given the many applications employees work with in practice, this process is time-consuming, complex, and error-prone. The integration between HelloID and BCS Motion streamlines this process.
How HelloID Integrates with BCS Motion
Through this integration, HelloID automatically detects every change in BCS Motion and executes the required updates in your target systems, so you do not need to manage this process manually.
A key benefit of this approach is that BCS Motion serves as the core system of record and single source of truth for Identity and Access Management (IAM). This ensures that the information you rely on is always authentic and reliable.
The table below shows several examples of changes in BCS Motion and the corresponding procedures in target applications:
| Change in BCS Motion | Procedure in business applications |
|---|---|
| New employee | HelloID creates a user account in your target systems based on the change in BCS Motion and assigns the required group memberships to the account. HelloID also provisions any additional required authorizations to ensure the employee can start working immediately. |
| Employee role change | When an employee's role changes in BCS Motion, HelloID automatically updates the user's authorizations in your target systems. The IAM solution always applies the authorization model in HelloID to ensure a consistent approach, adding or revoking authorizations as needed. |
| Employee marriage/divorce | HelloID automatically updates the display name and email address of users in your target systems based on changes in BCS Motion, if configured. |
| Employee location change | When an employee's location changes, the IAM solution automatically updates the user account, assigning different authorizations where needed to ensure the employee retains access to the target systems they require. |
| Employee offboarding | The IAM solution automatically deactivates user accounts and notifies relevant stakeholders in the organization when an employee leaves. HelloID also automatically deletes deactivated accounts after a defined period, which is important for compliance purposes. |
HelloID acts as an intermediary between BCS Motion and your business applications, also referred to as target systems. This is necessary because the various systems your organization relies on do not natively communicate with each other. Applications may label or store the same information differently, which creates complexity.
HelloID performs the necessary translation to ensure that information from BCS Motion reaches your business applications correctly. You can also automate the creation of required accounts and assignment of necessary authorizations to a significant degree, which can save considerable time. HelloID automates various identity lifecycle processes, including creating, modifying, and deleting user accounts and access rights in your target systems.
Unlike many other HRM systems, BCS Motion works with CSV files, which HelloID retrieves from your network. This sets HelloID apart from many competitors that always require a cloud connection and therefore an API. HelloID does not have this limitation and can work with CSV files to retrieve all changes.
HelloID for BCS Motion Helps You With
- Streamlined processing of BCS Motion changes in target systems: HelloID ensures that all your systems are up to date and that employees always have the accounts they need to do their jobs.
- Employees who are productive from day one: On the first working day, an employee can start immediately because their account is available right away. The user account is instantly assigned all authorizations corresponding to the employee's role and/or department.
- Successful audit compliance: A key focus area in audits is the proper configuration of authorizations. Unnecessary authorizations can lead to avoidable damage in the event of a cyberattack. All actions HelloID performs are recorded in the audit log. HelloID provides standard audit reports that make the complete audit trail visible. Audit logging can also be exported via API as a standard feature.
- Cost savings: Creating, managing, and deleting user accounts costs most organizations a minimum of half an hour per employee, not counting the associated lead time. An integration between BCS Motion and HelloID reduces this time to near zero.
