Percipio SuccessFactors Learning Integration

The SuccessFactors Learning connector was developed by Skillsoft in partnership with SAP. The connector is available to all SuccessFactors Learning customers.

The connector allows customers to integrate both Skillsoft compliance and non-compliance content with SuccessFactors Learning. Non-compliance content includes Skillsoft Technology & Developer and Leadership & Business Skills licenses. Compliance content includes Skillsoft Environmental, Health and Safety and Legal Compliance courses.

The connector allows customers to launch Skillsoft content both from Percipio and from SuccessFactors Learning in addition to other platforms or integrations in their learning ecosystem. Skillsoft compliance content, however, can only be launched from SuccessFactors Learning.

This article contains the following sections:

 

Connector for non-compliance content

The SuccessFactors Learning connector delivers three primary functions:

  • Automated content deployment to the LMS catalog
  • Content launch from the LMS to Percipio
  • Tracking Percipio learner activity back to the LMS

You can get additional information on all these topics from the Frequently Asked Questions and Requirements pages. For information on how to implement, see Configure SuccessFactors Learning for Skillsoft Content

How it works

The diagram below represents both the flow from SuccessFactors Learning to Percipio and the flow of data from Percipio to SuccessFactors Learning.

Automated content management

This is how SuccessFactors Learning is made aware of the Skillsoft content that is available. Skillsoft generates a SuccessFactors Learning-formatted item data connector file to deliver the content metadata information. SuccessFactors Learning then uses that metadata to create, update, or remove each Skillsoft content item within its catalog. Each Skillsoft content item uses a Percipio share link. When your learners launch a Skillsoft content item from SuccessFactors Learning, the content launches within your Percipio site.

Content launch and consumption

When learners launch a Skillsoft content item from SuccessFactors Learning, the item opens automatically in Percipio without a learner having to log into Percipio. This seamless experience uses SAML Single Sign-On. In addition, learners can also access Percipio directly. Any content that learners access directly in Percipio is still recorded in SuccessFactors Learning.

Learner completion tracking

This is how we ensure that SuccessFactors Learning has a record for each learner for each Skillsoft content item they accessed. Percipio records all accesses, whether the learner follows an item's link from SuccessFactors Learning or accesses an item directly in Percipio. Percipio calls a specific SuccessFactors Learning ODATA API to send the tracking information.

Connector for compliance content

The SuccessFactors Learning connector delivers three primary functions:

  • Automated content deployment to the SuccessFactors catalog
  • Content launches from SuccessFactors
  • Tracking Percipio learner activity back to SuccessFactors

You can get additional information on all these topics from the Frequently Asked Questions and Requirements pages. For information on how to implement compliance courses, see Configure SuccessFactors Learning for Compliance Content

How it works

Skillsoft generates a SuccessFactors Learning-formatted item data connector file to deliver the content metadata information. SuccessFactors Learning then uses that metadata to create, update, or remove each Skillsoft non-compliance content item within its catalog. Each Skillsoft content item uses an AICC launch URL. When your learners launch a Skillsoft content item from SuccessFactors Learning, the content launches directly into your compliance course.

Content launch and consumption

When learners launch a Skillsoft compliance course from SuccessFactors Learning, the course opens automatically. This seamless experience uses AICC launch standards.

Learner completion tracking

This is how we ensure that SuccessFactors Learning has a record for each learner for each Skillsoft compliance course they accessed. Percipio uses AICC standards to send tracking information back to SuccessFactors Learning.
