Fast Growth Small- and Mid-Sized Businesses Implement SuccessFactors To Align with Corporate Growth

LifeLock(R), Leader in ID Theft Prevention, Leverages SuccessFactors' Professional Edition for Goal Alignment, Performance and Talent Reviews

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2008--SuccessFactors, Inc. (Nasdaq:SFSF), the global leader in on-demand performance and talent management solutions, today announced that LifeLock(R), the industry leader in preventing personal information theft before it occurs, has implemented SuccessFactors Professional Edition to manage employee performance reviews, enhance communication and align goals across the organization. LifeLock will use the entire suite of SuccessFactors Professional Edition, including Performance Reviews, Goal Alignment & Execution, Compensation Management, and Analytics and Reporting.

Over the past six months LifeLock experienced rapid company growth and success, expanding from 55 employees to over 230 and, as a result, quickly developed a need for a performance review process that could not only keep up with quantitative growth, but also manage employee performance in a strategic and quick manner. After brief 30-minute employee training sessions, the company was quickly up and running, benefiting from an automated and on-demand performance management solution that offers convenient features uniquely designed for small businesses, including an intuitive interface, convenient online help for managers and goal alignment capabilities. With SuccessFactors, LifeLock found a solution that allows them to have goal visibility cascade from the top to the bottom, and vice versa, aligning with the company's general corporate policy of transparency, goal and performance accountability.

"One of our overall goals as a company is to build something unique that motivates our employees to go beyond their own expectations and grow professionally. SuccessFactors' solution aligns with this corporate mission and helps both employers and employees know that they are going beyond just 'getting the job done,' and are in fact living up their best potential," said Mark Allen vice president of human resources for LifeLock. "I've implemented SuccessFactors in my previous two companies and therefore know the powerful impact it can have on employer-employee relations, and we're looking forward to leveraging SuccessFactors' other strategic offerings such as compensation management in the coming months."

"Companies of all sizes, be it a national entity or an up-and-coming company, are faced with the same need to identify employee strengths and weaknesses, align corporate initiatives and manage overall workplace performance. LifeLock is an example of forward-thinking SMBs that recognize the important role performance and talent assessments can play in a company's success and growth," said Paul Albright, general manager, SMB and CMO for SuccessFactors. "Our Profession Edition solution enables growing companies to get up and running with a performance review process that is efficient and repeatable, scalable with company expansion, and makes what is often considered a universally painful process much easier."

LifeLock is among the growing list of customers currently using SuccessFactors' Performance and Talent Management Suite to help motivate and engage employees. SuccessFactors' SMB offerings, Professional Edition and SuccessPractices, are designed specifically for organizations with up to 2,500 employees, bringing enterprise class best practices to small and mid-sized businesses. The Web-based, Software-as-a-Service technology model enables SMBs in all industries to cost-effectively implement the technology without the need for extensive IT support. By providing real-time, company-wide visibility into such critical performance data, companies are able to make better, more informed decisions about how to promote, recruit, compensate, reward and manage their entire employee base.
