HR transformation at STARTEAM GLOBAL: a success story with INKUBIT

STARTEAM GLOBAL was founded in Germany in 1988 and has more than 35 years of experience as a renowned supplier of printed circuit boards (PCB). The company is active worldwide and operates production facilities in China, Thailand and Italy that meet the highest safety and quality standards of the automotive, medical and railroad industries. With a team of experienced engineers and quality specialists, STARTEAM GLOBAL offers competitive premium products and comprehensive supply solutions. The company serves a wide range of industries, including telecommunications, automotive, healthcare and consumer goods, and is characterized by technological excellence, high quality standards and a strong customer focus.

STARTEAM GLOBAL was faced with the challenge of implementing a scalable and flexible HCM system that could cover the country-specific requirements for managing the entire employee life cycle. The key challenges included

Centralization of HR master data: The distribution of HR data across different systems and locations led to inefficient processes and inconsistent data.

Introduction of global employee self-service functions: Employees should be able to manage their own data, submit vacation requests and record working hours.

Standardization of the recruiting process: A uniform, global recruiting process was required to improve efficiency and transparency.

Integration into existing systems: The new HR processes had to be seamlessly integrated into Microsoft Teams and SharePoint to ensure a consistent user experience.

Data protection and compliance: The management of sensitive HR documents had to be data protection-compliant and secure in order to meet international data protection regulations.

The STARTEAM GLOBAL HR transformation included the introduction of a comprehensive human capital management system (HCM). INKUBIT developed a customized Solution, which is based on Microsoft Dynamics 365, SharePoint Online, Exchange Server online, Microsoft Teams and the Power Platform. This combination made it possible to meet the diverse requirements of STARTEAM GLOBAL and ensure seamless integration into the existing IT infrastructure.

HR Management for Dynamics 365: INKUBIT has developed a customized Solution based on Microsoft Dynamics 365. This central platform enables STARTEAM GLOBAL to efficiently manage all HR processes from recruitment to onboarding and offboarding. The integration with Dynamics 365 ensures a consistent database and facilitates the management of employee information.

SharePoint Online: By integrating SharePoint Online, all HR documents have been centralized and managed in compliance with data protection regulations. This facilitates access to important documents and improves efficiency in the management of HR data.

Microsoft Teams: The integration of Microsoft Teams made it possible to seamlessly integrate time and absence management into daily communication and collaboration. Employees can now record and manage their working hours and absences directly in Teams.

Power Platform: The Power Platform was used to develop customized applications that support specific HR processes. With Power Automate, recurring tasks could be automated and efficiency increased.

The technologies used by INKUBIT have helped STARTEAM to achieve unprecedented efficiency in HR. STARTEAM benefits from the following solutions:

Microsoft Dynamics 365: This powerful platform integrates all HR functions in a single Solution. Recruitment, onboarding, performance management and offboarding can be carried out efficiently and consistently. Dynamics 365 offers a uniform database that improves decision-making and reduces administrative effort.

SharePoint Online: Centralizing HR documents in SharePoint Online enables secure and privacy-compliant management. Documents are easily accessible and can be managed quickly and efficiently, which increases productivity and reduces paper consumption.

Microsoft Teams: The integration of HR functions in Microsoft Teams significantly improves user-friendliness. Employees can record their working hours and absences directly in the application they use every day, which increases acceptance and satisfaction.

Power Platform: This suite of Microsoft tools includes Power BI, Power Automate and Power Apps. With Power Automate, recurring tasks can be automated, saving time and resources. Power Apps enables the creation of customized applications that meet specific business requirements. Power BI provides powerful analytical tools that support management decisions.
