Industry Analysts Bersin & Associates Confirm SuccessFactors' Dominance in Employee Performance Management Market
Bersin & Associates' "High-Impact Performance Management 2009: State of the Market, Practices and Buyer's Guide," issued this week at the HR Technology Conference, provides in-depth profiles of talent management vendors, functional evaluation comparisons, and market analysis, outlook and predictions. The firm defines Employee Performance Management as a set of management practices that establish measurable goals and objectives for employees, assess achievement and attainment of such objectives, and then use this information to improve performance through coaching, compensation, development, and other means. SuccessFactors is identified as the clear leader in market share of customers and revenue in this space.
"Our research confirms that SuccessFactors is the most well-adopted employee performance management product on the market today," said Leighanne Levensaler, director of talent management research, Bersin & Associates. "The company's outright leadership in terms of number of customers and revenue share, in a market we project will grow 35 percent a year, is notable. SuccessFactors continues to prove its ability to attract companies of all sizes and all industries, and is shortlisted for nearly every North American-based evaluation we see for employee performance management. The company's products and vision as well as market trends we face today, position the company to expand its global presence."
Lars Dalgaard, founder and chief executive officer for SuccessFactors, said, "From day one, SuccessFactors has focused on delivering complete solutions that enable organizations of all sizes to optimize workforce productivity, and performance management is at the core. The benefits of employee engagement and alignment are obvious, but customers are realizing the business impact of deploying SuccessFactors, and increasing top line results while reducing operating costs is resonating in today's economic environment now more than ever. It's gratifying to reap validation of market leadership from a trusted source like Bersin & Associates."
