Cytiva’s SonicPerform Recognized in New Bersin & Associates Report: The Essential Guide to Performance Management Systems

Leading analyst firm “impressed with the clean, streamlined user experience”

Emeryville, CA (PRWEB) October 15, 2008

Cytiva Software, Inc. (CRX:TSX.V), a leading provider of on-demand talent management software, today announced its inclusion in an important research report by talent management research firm Bersin & Associates.

Entitled “The Essential Guide to Performance Management Systems,” the report includes general performance management market information, implementation best practices, and system vendor profiles.

In addition to recognition for SonicPerform’s “clean, streamlined user experience,” the report points out that “SonicPerform represents the culmination of the work of a team of performance management software veterans (including executives from KnowledgePoint – pioneers in performance management software) with over 75 years of combined experience building and implementing systems in thousands of organizations.”

“Bersin & Associates is doing some of the most enlightened and useful research in the performance management arena these days,” said Jason Moreau, CEO of Cytiva Software Inc. “We believe our recognition in this report validates our approach and effectively places SonicPerform on the map as a vendor to be reckoned with in this fast changing performance management space.”

Cytiva’s SonicPerform was designed for mid-sized organizations and sits in the middle of Cytiva’s talent management suite that includes the SonicRecruit applicant tracking system and the SonicOnboard employee onboarding portal.

The Sonic suite of talent management applications represents an extremely attractive alternative for mid to large sized organizations in the midst of financial uncertainty, by providing world class functionality, high levels of service and robust configurability at an affordable price.

The announcement of SonicPerform’s inclusion in this new Bersin & Associates report comes on the heels of the launch of the new SonicPerform Enterprise at the HRTechnology Conference in Chicago this week.
