SuccessFactors, a global supplier of on-demand performance and talent management solutions, has announced its move into the South African marketplace by signing a strategic partnership agreement with EPI-USE Africa.
This agreement allows them to provide local companies of all sizes with a technology solution that combines SuccessFactors` highly rated performance and talent management technology with EPI-USE Africa`s expertise, strategies and best practices in selection and assessment, leadership development, and succession management.
The SuccessFactors Performance and Talent Management Suite is composed of distinct capabilities, all of which are fully integrated. Its ease-of-use and rapid deployment features allow customers to solve immediate needs by getting to productive events in record time. The entire suite is highly scalable and modular, allowing customers to add new modules when needed and on demand.
"SuccessFactors` partnership with EPI-USE allows us to meet the rising demand in South Africa for local sales and support services from our expanding list of partners and growing customer base," said Andreas Zwimper, SuccessFactors` Partner Director for EMEA.
According to a recent Gartner report, SuccessFactors` Performance and Talent Management Suite was the only solution to receive the highest rating viz "Strong Positive", for Employee Performance Management Software. According to the report, "Studies have shown that business performance improves when there are strong employee performance management (EPM) practices and EPM software is an important enabler of these practices. Key practices such as alignment between corporate and individual goals and pay for performance are driving many companies to implement these technologies to improve business performance."
The SuccessFactors Performance and Talent Management Suite is delivered as a service, enabling organisations to rapidly align, develop, motivate and maintain a high-performance workforce. This world-class application suite is delivered with the vision of providing visibility, accountability and results for customers.
Clear, timely and accurate visibility to employee performance and potential can easily be achieved with the SuccessFactors application suite. Managers can consistently monitor progress against goals and competency levels for their entire organisations. Employees can be certain that their efforts will not go unnoticed and will be evaluated in a meritocratic environment of pay for performance.
EPI-USE Africa business development manager Jose Frazao says increasing global competition is placing extreme pressures on organisations for optimal performance. "These competitive forces have served to increase expectations from customers, shareholders and employees. In order to remain competitive, organisations must focus employees on critical tasks; increase overall employee productivity; identify and reward top performers; invest in ongoing employee development; place the right person in the right job to be successful; and ensure readiness to execute on changing business strategies."
EPI-USE Africa will host free workshops in Sandton and Cape Town to demonstrate SuccessFactors` Workforce Management Solution. The presentation in Sandton will be held at the Michelangelo Hotel on 14 March. For more information, contact Jose Frazao on (012) 368 8400 or e-mail jose.frazao@epiuse.com.
