SuccessFactors Launches Enhanced Business Execution Solutions for Small Businesses
Professional Edition gives small business owners and human resource leaders configurable tools to automate, integrate and ultimately transform their businesses
SAN MATEO, Calif. -- Today, SuccessFactors, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFSF), the global leader in business execution software, launched a new, bundled Business Execution (BizX) solution designed specifically for the needs of small businesses. The new enhanced Professional Edition offering gives small businesses tools optimized to their needs to help manage the entire employee life cycle, hire the best people, keep them on track, develop their skills, and proactively manage the health of the business.
"At SuccessFactors we are passionate about helping small businesses drive real results. A lot of companies look for solutions to simply automate their HR processes, but as the economy changes, purely automating a process will not enable small businesses to grow over time," said Marjorie Toucas, senior director, global small business sales, SuccessFactors. "Our solutions are all on the BizX cloud and help small businesses to accelerate growth and move from simple automation to visibility, optimization and ultimately transformation of their business."
Professional Edition is web-based, easy-to-use and scalable. Small businesses can begin with a strong core solution, with no implementation costs, and add other modules as needed. With the new enhanced Professional Edition small businesses can:
-- Improve performance: Equip managers with a framework to discuss, measure and improve employee performance through an automated review process based on best practices. Professional Edition uncovers specific development opportunities through both annual and 360-degree reviews.
-- Accelerate business results: Provide a framework where each and every employee has objectives that are aligned to the company strategy for increased agility, focus and accountability.
-- Engage their people: Employees who have clear feedback for professional growth and clear visibility on how they contribute to organizational success are more likely to care about their jobs and do them well.
-- Retain and reward the best employees: An accurate and consistent performance review process enables companies to create a true pay-for-performance program and increase the commitment of top performers.
-- Recruit better: As a new optional add-on to Professional Edition, Recruiting Management makes it easy to quickly find, screen and hire the right people for the right jobs.
In addition, SuccessFactors added new tools to help its small business customers get started faster and configure the solutions to match their specific needs and company culture. With the new setup wizard, customers can configure their system in less than an hour as it walks them through common setup choices. Once live, the new administration tools empower human resources leaders to easily make adjustments to the configuration, helping increase productivity and reduce the cost of maintenance.
"As an independent agency leading the evolution of advertising in a post digital world, we use our culture as a competitive weapon and SuccessFactors has been a valuable talent management tool that's helped us establish what high performance truly means," said Lea Daughtridge Wharton, director of human resources, McKinney. "In our industry, training and personal development is often the number one benefit employees wish they had more of and, sadly, it is sometimes lacking. SuccessFactors helps us provide high-level, truly holistic personalized development plans that focus on getting better every day."
To complement Professional Edition, SuccessFactors also launched an e-learning series designed specifically for the needs of small businesses that are looking to implement HR systems for the first time. The video series, powered by SuccessFactors Social Learning, gives customers access to best practices training on setting up goals, giving employee feedback, aligning strategy and more. Training content will be updated on a regular basis and targeted to HR, line of business leaders and executives.
In addition to the enhanced Professional Edition, SuccessFactors also offers the SuccessPractices bundle for small businesses with established practices that are looking to take the next leap forward in business execution. SuccessPractices offers succession, career and development planning and workforce analytics for small business owners to keep their people focused on the right work and to help ensure they are getting the most from their team every day.
