Frank Lynn guest posts: It’s a trust issue

One of my favorite 80’s TV shows was Sledge Hammer.  Hammer was an offbeat cop in the Get Smart/Monk tradition who had a great tagline: “Trust me.  I know what I’m doing.”  This was the ultimate ironic statement because his wacky, unconventional methods didn’t exactly reinforce to the viewer that he knew what he was doing, nor that he should be trusted.  To organizations looking for Workforce Performance Management software, vendors sound like Sledge Hammer.  They all claim to be trustworthy, but the proof is in the pudding.

As SuccessFactors’ Proposal Manager, I deal with trust issues on a daily basis.  Many RFPs and Technical Questionnaires have questions that center around data security.  In today’s post-HIPAA, post-Sarbanes-Oxley environment, safeguarding data and implementing comprehensive controls has become a top priority.  Risk Managers and IT Directors are under a lot of stress.          

In addition to developing a comprehensive suite of Workforce Performance Management software solutions, SuccessFactors has taken steps to ensure that your organization’s Risk Management professionals can sleep better at night, including:

·        A fully redundant, secure network infrastructure with backup and failover capabilities
·        Intrusion Detection and Vulnerability scanning
·        24x7x365 Live operator monitoring
·        Configurable user group and data access permissions that allow you to comply with data privacy laws

Additionally, we are Safe Harbor Certified by the US Department of Commerce.

As a Software as a Service provider with an industry-leading 98% renewal rate, we recognize the importance of earning and keeping the trust of our customers.  That’s why we allow them to perform infrastructure and application vulnerability testing – to have every assurance that their data is safe in our system.
