OVERVIEW
Every new internal product or tool required multiple custom integrations to access HR data, creating significant development overhead and increasing operational costs.
Siemens Energy relies on several third-party platforms to manage HR operations. While each tool served a specific purpose, the data across these systems remained fragmented.
I worked on DataHub, a centralized integration management platform designed to streamline how teams access, manage, and monitor HR data integrations across the organization.
THE CHALLENGE
HR data at Siemens Energy lived across multiple external systems. When internal teams needed this data for new tools or services, developers had to build integrations with several platforms simultaneously.
This created three major problems:
Integration Overhead
Each new internal tool required multiple integrations with different HR systems. On average, teams built around 15 new integrations every quarter, increasing development time and cost.
Limited Access Control
Because data flowed across several systems, it became difficult to clearly track who had access to what data and how it was being used.
Vendor Lock-In
Introducing a new HR platform meant integrating it with existing systems, creating high switching costs and limiting the organization’s flexibility.
The organization needed a more scalable way to manage data access across teams.
