AmeriBen/IEC Group and SuccessFactors Deliver Performance and Talent Management Solutions to Small and Mid-Sized Businesses

Joint Solution Increases Employee Productivity and Improves Business Results; Foregoes High Cost and Capital Investments

San Mateo, CA - August 8, 2006 - SuccessFactors, Inc., the leader in on-demand performance and talent management solutions, and AmeriBen/IEC Group, a full-service business management consulting firm, have teamed to deliver talent management solutions that help companies increase employee performance and productivity and ultimately improve bottom-line performance and top-line growth. AmeriBen/IEC Group will leverage their proven management consulting expertise and 48-year track record supporting small and mid-market companies with SuccessFactors' market-leading, on-demand performance and talent management solution. Joint customers will benefit from implementing the industry's most comprehensive, integrated talent management solution backed by AmeriBen/IEC Group implementation best practices.

Most small and mid- size companies have similar business and human resources needs as their larger counterparts but may not have the capital to meet those needs," said Andy Fujimoto, AmeriBen/IEC Group CEO. "By leveraging technologies like SuccessFactors that have been developed specifically for small and midsized users, AmeriBen has been able to successfully develop solutions to help organizations realize operational and performance gains, typically out of the reach of most small and mid-size companies."

SuccessFactors' technology is available in three distinct offerings: Enterprise Edition, Professional Edition and Manager's edition. SuccessFactors' Enterprise Edition is a fully integrated suite of performance and talent management applications, each highly scalable and modular to allow businesses to add additional features easily. SuccessFactors Professional Edition includes full-featured software that is customized and priced for growing, small and mid-sized companies. Unlike other enterprise software that is re-engineered for small and mid-size businesses but offers significantly limited functionality, SuccessFactors incorporates best practices from the company's over 600 customers, including the insights of world-class HR and management experts. SuccessFactors Manager's Edition streamlines and automates the performance review process for individual managers and small teams with less than 50 people. SuccessFactors solutions are delivered through a hosted software-as-a-service model, requiring no dedicated IT staff for initial implementation or general maintenance.

"By leveraging what we have learned from SuccessFactors' over 600 customers and more than 1.8 million active users, SuccessFactors is able to provide our partners and joint customers with technology that incorporates the most effective practices and processes to ensure that our customers achieve real business results in short periods of time," said Roger Goulart, SuccessFactors Vice President of Alliances.. "Our new alliance with AmeriBen/IEC Group will provide broader access to small and mid- market customers who want to effectively and productively manage growth and company performance with the industry's strongest technology solution as its backbone."
