SuccessFactors Announces Support for Global Organizations With Simultaneous Product Updates Across 22 Languages

SAN MATEO, Calif., Jun 16, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- SuccessFactors, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFSF), the global leader in on-demand performance and talent management solutions, today announced that it has made available a number of international enhancements to support simultaneous product updates of its monthly releases in 22 languages. This announcement further demonstrates SuccessFactors' commitment to serving global organizations and driving strategic human resources initiatives around the world.

Leveraging the on-demand technology model, SuccessFactors delivers customer-driven innovation on a monthly basis, which make these simultaneous updates even more powerful and differentiating. Immediate global updates in multiple languages give customers the tools and resources for a worldwide workforce to reach their potential faster and more efficiently. International organizations can adopt new features and services immediately for instant, companywide alignment, while reducing time and cost investments.

With more than 55,000 employees operating in 37 countries, Kimberly-Clark is a leading global health and hygiene company. A longtime SuccessFactors customer, the Kimberly-Clark team can deploy new, relevant SuccessFactors product features on a global scale as they become available.

Rob Bernshteyn, vice president, global product marketing and management for SuccessFactors, said, "Global organizations often rely on technology to address the difficult task of connecting and aligning a widespread, multi-language workforce, but are often hampered by lengthy lag times for newly-released, localized features. SuccessFactors is focused on leading the industry with rich new functionality released monthly, and with simultaneous product updates across so many languages, we continue to extend our leadership. This development underscores the strength, agility and scalability of our platform and our commitment to supporting a truly connected, global workforce. We believe SuccessFactors is the only SaaS vendor of our kind to provide on-demand delivery of multi-language updates of this magnitude."
