(Nasdaq: SFSF) announced SuccessFactors Calibration, the industry's first solution for streamlining and simplifying the calibration process at enterprises for improved business results through more impactful talent initiatives.
An integrated solution in SuccessFactors Business Execution Software suite (BizX), SuccessFactors Calibration is the only application that transforms calibration into a smooth and efficient process that empowers executives to make critical talent decisions based on credible and objective ratings.

- Meet performance distribution curve guidelines easily.

"Calibration is a critical process for many of our large enterprise customers and creating a solution that would help them do this accurately and efficiently was an important priority," said Dmitri Krakovsky, vice president of global product management, SuccessFactors. "Our customers invest in talent initiatives to manage their people strategically and drive business results, and it is essential that they get the most out of these by fueling them with objective ratings. This is just another great example of how Business Execution, with deep integration across the SuccessFactors suite, helps companies drive success and make these once tedious processes now very streamlined, efficient and more effective."
