SuccessFactors Debuts Web 2.0 Customer Collaboration Network for SuccessConnect 2008
Making its debut just a few weeks before SuccessConnect, SuccessFactors' Global User Conference, SuccessDirectory gives customers a way to dynamically connect with peers before, during and after the conference and collaborate on best practices to better optimize their people and their businesses. SuccessDirectory is powered by SuccessFactors Employee Profile, a SuccessFactors offering which helps connect an organization's employees and supports talent decisions by delivering relevant, community enriched employee information that helps to break down traditional barriers to communication and knowledge sharing, and encourages employees to express more fully who they are.
SuccessDirectory works in the same vein as Employee Profile, connecting SuccessFactors' customers across the globe so that they can share and learn from each other. With SuccessDirectory, SuccessFactors customers can:
-- Use social networking to collaborate, share best practices and network;
-- Find peers at companies from around the world by searching on company size, industry, region, products and interests;
-- Make connections with peers in the community to help stay in touch over time and see others' contributions to a number of the SuccessFactors' Customer Community features;
-- Reward and acknowledge by giving peers a "badge" signifying their contributions and value. SuccessFactors will also be gifting badges to let customers know that the company appreciates their continued support.
"SuccessDirectory builds on the SuccessFactors customer experience and provides an innovative way for these companies to collaborate, network and learn from each other for the long term," said Lars Dalgaard, CEO of SuccessFactors. "By bringing the power of Employee Profile, which has been very effective for a growing number of our customers using the solution internally, this Web 2.0 customer network extends the spirit of SuccessConnect throughout the year, helping our customers build connections and relationships with their fellow leaders, and share and collaborate across company lines."
For customers that would like to participate in SuccessDirectory, please visit the SuccessFactors' Customer Community at http://community.successfactors.com/.
SuccessFactors Employee Profile enables organizations to collaborate more effectively and make more informed talent decisions, while at the same time providing employees the opportunity to express who they are and the value they bring to the organization. Employee Profile is part of the SuccessFactors Performance and Talent Management Suite of applications which includes Performance Management, Goal Management, 360 Degree Reviews, Succession Management, Compensation Management, Learning and Development, Recruiting Management, and Analytics and Reporting, which collectively create a company-wide network of information related to employee performance, including skill-sets, interests, career aspirations, ability to relocate, experience, languages spoken and more. By providing deep, 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.
