Could SolMan ever be used to manage a SuccessFactors implementation?

[former_member22527]

As I start managing more SuccessFactors implementations, I think to myself "Man, this would be so much easier to manage if SuccessFactors had something like SolMan."  Given the architecture SolMan works under and the fact that SuccessFactors works on an entirely different platform (for now), I don't see how SolMan could be leveraged for a SuccessFactors implementation, but wonder if anyone ever tried to manage parts of it.  I don't see how, but curious to hear if anyone has had similar thoughts.
