back to all cases
Endeavour Mining, the leading gold producer in West Africa, with operations in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal, chose Arago to take over its HR transformation on SAP SuccessFactors.
The goal: replace Excel files that varied from one site to the next with a single HR platform, named MyPath, gradually covering the entire employee journey. A pioneering approach in the West African mining sector.
Endeavour Mining runs five operating sites: two in Burkina Faso, two in Côte d’Ivoire and one in Senegal.
Before adopting SAP SuccessFactors, each site managed its HR processes in its own way, using separate Excel files. As the group grew, Endeavour Mining chose SAP SuccessFactors for its standard functional coverage, with no custom development.
The organisation faced several challenges:
Beyond a new tool, Endeavour Mining wanted to consolidate its HR processes and create a collaborative platform for employees, managers and leadership:
Endeavour Mining selected Arago for several reasons:
Arago took over the project in March 2024 with a phased approach: a standard foundation first, then one module after another, often in parallel. Endeavour Mining named the platform MyPath, meaning “my career path” within the group.
Since the first go-live, Endeavour Mining has relied on Arago’s run team. At the client’s request, every ticket is resolved and explained, as a mini training session that builds the team’s autonomy.
“Our priority was to have a single platform that could harmonise our processes and centralise information in one reliable source. With Arago, we achieved this while staying on a standard solution and on schedule. Today, our employees access their information independently and our managers have greater visibility. Transparency is now a reality in our HR function.”
