Sourced life sciences and health care context
Research, care, and regulated records: SAP SuccessFactors
Durham's FY 2025 Strategic Plan Impact Report identifies life sciences and health care as high-demand industries used to align workforce programs and employer engagement. Translate the operating setting into legal entities, worker types, event reasons, workflows, effective-dated data, permissions, and local requirements. Ask how the design affects downstream payroll and reporting. Life-sciences and care platforms may join research samples, clinical records, laboratory instruments, trials, patient access, quality events, validation, and regulated retention.
Evidence to request: Use a hire-to-change-to-termination scenario and require configuration, data, workflow, permission, and integration decisions. Define the research or care workflow, sample or patient identity, protected fields, instrument or clinical interface, validation evidence, quality gate, retention rule, and approval owner.
Sourced information technology context
Product, data, and service boundaries: SAP SuccessFactors
The Durham report also identifies information technology as a high-demand industry in the city's workforce and business-support work. Set boundaries among SuccessFactors, payroll, identity, benefits, finance, time, learning, and recruiting systems. Require an example involving Integration Center, CPI, APIs, files, monitoring, and correction. Information-technology roles can sit in product engineering, enterprise applications, data platforms, security, managed services, or public systems with different delivery evidence.
Evidence to request: Review an employee-data or interface defect with the population affected, diagnosis, correction, replay, and validation. State the product or service boundary, users, data ownership, production authority, integration surface, reliability target, release evidence, and after-launch responsibility.
Sourced advanced manufacturing context
Production, quality, and supply flow: SAP SuccessFactors
Advanced manufacturing is another high-demand industry named in Durham's FY 2025 impact report and related workforce alignment activity. Define conversion, release, testing, and support ownership. Candidates should cover data quality, role testing, regression, business acceptance, production issues, and documentation. Advanced production can connect designs, bills of material, suppliers, equipment, work orders, quality results, serial or lot records, inventory, maintenance, and cost.
Evidence to request: Ask for a SuccessFactors implementation or release the candidate owned, including conversion, testing, cutover, exceptions, and acceptance. Trace the product from released design and sourced material through equipment, production, inspection, traceability, inventory, shipment, variance, and accountable process owner.
