SAN MATEO, Calif. - May 15, 2007 - SuccessFactors, the global leader in on-demand performance and talent management solutions, has attracted a virtual who's who of global business leaders to SuccessConnect 2007, the company's global user conference to be held in New York on June 5-7. Keynoted by Jack Welch and sponsored by IBM, Ceridian Corporation, Iconixx, Mercer Human Resource Consulting and Personnel Decisions International, the conference will gather hundreds of CEOs, executives and HR managers to discuss and exchange methods, best practices and measurements for driving business performance. Executives from over 40 SuccessFactors' customers including Sears Holding Company, Wachovia, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Xerox Corporation, American Airlines, Hilton Hotels, Yahoo! Inc., Arrow Electronics, Kohl's, and T-Mobile will offer presentations on their individual performance and talent management initiatives and will showcase the impact SuccessFactors' technology has made on their organizations.

In addition to the customer-led conference sessions, attendees will also watch and participate in a question-and-answer session with former General Electric CEO Jack Welch and SuccessFactors CEO Lars Dalgaard - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from and ask questions to one of the true innovators of modern business. For 20 years, Welch revolutionized business leadership by spearheading innovative HR initiatives that focused on improving efficiency and accountability in the workforce. Welch gave birth to the strategic HR revolution - companies giving their HR department a seat at the corporate table and putting real thought and effort into their human capital management strategies. Many of his ideas are woven into the fabric of SuccessFactors Performance and Talent Management Suite, an idea reflected by SuccessConnect 2007's theme, "Jack pioneered it, Lars advanced it, SuccessFactors delivers it."

SuccessFactors Performance and Talent Management Suite is an on-demand solution that allows companies to both automate many HR processes while driving performance by promoting visibility, accountability and results. The technology is used by more than 2 million people in 156 countries, at nearly 1,400 companies of all sizes across 60 different industries.

"Sharing the stage with Jack Welch - the man who almost single-handedly changed the way the world does business by putting people first - is a great honor for me," Dalgaard said. "But what's truly special about SuccessConnect will be the opportunity our customers will have to hear first hand, from Jack himself, how they can become more successful by simply focusing on and rewarding their people for their performance. Jack pioneered a profound change in the way the world does business - through our technology, SuccessFactors is making it fast and easy for every business no matter the size, industry or location, to put Jack's ideas in motion. We're taking Jack to the masses."

In addition to the customer-driven sessions, SuccessFactors, along with Platinum Sponsors IBM, Ceridian Corporation, Iconixx, Mercer Human Resource Consulting and Personnel Decisions International, will present case studies and seminars discussing global business strategies, performance and talent management products as well as human capital management processes. The conference will also provide the opportunity for customers to meet for special, targeted group discussions focused on the healthcare, retail, financial services and manufacturing industries. Small- and mid-sized businesses will also enjoy sessions specifically addressing their business imperatives while SuccessFactors Professional Services representatives will be on hand throughout the entire conference to meet one-on-one with SuccessFactors customers.
