SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, SuccessFactors, Inc., (NYSE: SFSF), the global leader in cloud-based business execution software, announced that SuccessFactors has delivered on its commitment to make Learning an integral part of the SuccessFactors Business Execution Suite (BizX), providing customers a unified user experience with single sign-on and combined data and reporting. SuccessFactors now delivers an unmatched set of learning capabilities in the cloud, including: formal, social/informal, content management and analytics to help improve employee skills, ensure corporate compliance and align organizational objectives.
SuccessFactors Learning combines a best-in-class Learning Management System (LMS) with unmatched capabilities, including:
- Powerful Learning Metrics & Analysis: SuccessFactors Learning provides customers with innovative and comprehensive reporting and analytics that help drive better business outcomes and give HR and learning leaders authoritative insight about the state of their talent and talent development initiatives. Beyond traditional learning metrics, such as course completions, SuccessFactors Learning Metrics & Analytics helps ensure corporate learning and development professionals can answer the tough questions such as:
- What's the performance of employees in learning programs versus those not enrolled?
- Is there a correlation between the percent of all learning costs and firm profitability?
- Innovative Social Learning powered by SuccessFactors Jam – The award-winning SuccessFactors Social Learning brings a Facebook- and YouTube-like experience to corporate learning, making it easy for anyone in the organization to share their expertise, connect with communities, and quickly find the information they need to get things done online or on a mobile device. Social Learning can increase learning adoption, decrease time to performance and helps lower learning costs while increasing employee performance. Social Learning is directly integrated with the formal LMS allowing users to easily find content through one connected search across formal and informal content to find the best resources to sharpen their skills.
- Unique 'Content-as-a-Service' (CaaS) – SuccessFactors iContent uniquely provides content distribution and management in the cloud, as a service, taking the headache and hassle out of managing digital learning assets, from online courseware to on-demand presentations and video, and provides learners with reliable, high-quality on-demand access to both off-the-shelf and custom content.
"Following the successful acquisition of Plateau, we're excited and pleased to announce that we've delivered SuccessFactors Learning as part of the BizX suite, with integration that provides an integrated end user experience. But we didn't stop there -- we've also added powerful, unique capabilities to our learning solution such as Social Learning, powered by SuccessFactors Jam, and new Learning Metrics & Analytics," said Jeff Kristick, vice president of global product marketing, SuccessFactors. "As we move forward, we'll continue to add enhancements across the board, with new capabilities, and by improving the role of learning in the talent management processes within the BizX suite."
