Plateau Named a Leader in Enterprise Learning Management Suites by
Independent Research Firm
Company Announces that it has Scored Talent Management Hat-Trick as
the First and Only Talent Management Provider to be Rated a Leader in
Learning, Performance, and Integrated Performance and Compensation
ARLINGTON, Va. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) February 14, 2008 --
Plateau
Systems, a leading provider of talent management software, content
and services, today announced it was named a leader in the February
2008 “Forrester Wave: Enterprise Learning
Management Suites, Q1 2008” report. In
this evaluation, Plateau received the highest vendor score in the
strategy category among the select companies that Forrester invited to
participate. This report follows Forrester's recent recognition of
Plateau as a leader in the performance solutions segment and the
integrated performance and compensation management segment of the August 2007
“Forrester Wave™:
Integrated Performance And Compensation Solutions, Q3 2007”
report.
“We are pleased that Forrester has recognized
Plateau as a leader in its Enterprise Learning Management Wave, and take
great pride in being the first and only talent management solution
provider to have been named a leader in this report as well as
Forrester's Integrated Performance and Compensation Solutions Wave,”
said Paul Sparta, CEO, Plateau Systems. “Learning,
performance, and compensation are clearly key components of any
company's talent management strategy. By delivering a seamless talent
management solution that also provides deep, stand-alone functionality
for learning
management, performance
management, compensation
management, and career
and succession planning, Plateau allows customers to grow their
talent management strategy and solution in line with their business
goals, and allows them to do so without having to trade functionality
for integration, and vice versa.”
Forrester's report evaluated 12 leading learning management vendors -
across 90 criteria - according to current offering, strategy and market
presence. Plateau was awarded the top score in the Strategy category,
receiving the highest possible score for Product Enhancement. According
to the report, “Plateau plans to continue to
build out its talent management suites, as well as to develop
capabilities in Web 2.0 technologies.”
Forrester further states: ”in our user
reference checks, Plateau received the highest marks of all vendors for
knowledgeable, honest, and supportive sales, implementation, and
customer service teams.”
According to Forrester, learning suites are “quickly
becoming a critical component of an organization's talent management
efforts.” Forrester went on to note that “pure-play
vendors like, Plateau Systems (along with 3 other vendors), have created
or acquired performance management, succession planning, and
compensation capabilities and have integrated these components into a
talent management suite that complements the learning suite.”
With organizations recognizing the value and benefits of deploying
unified, extensible talent management solutions, Plateau is seeing an
increased demand among its customers for a complete, integrated talent
management suite. In a recent interview in Talent
Management Magazine, Plateau customer Dave Roberts, vice president
of talent management at Western Union, highlighted the value of
Plateau's complete offering, stating, “one of
the key strategic areas of focus is integration. We want a one-stop shop
for the various clients of talent management. The company had a history
of very siloed, separated talent management processes. We're pulling
those together around a set of key talent imperatives, things that
people in the organization need to do in order to drive the business
forward and accomplish the strategic goals of the business.”
According to Lisa Jacoba, Western Union's SVP of Talent Management, “Our
hope is to utilize the data on the performance and learning sides, and
then integrate all of that to help us make some of those key decisions
when we have to back fill a role or get into a new line of business, and
really use this as our search engine to look at the talent and make some
decisions on how to mobilize our talent.”
Further demonstrating its strength in providing comprehensive talent
management solutions, Plateau debuted as leader in The
Forrester Wave™: Integrated Performance
And Compensation Solutions, Q3 2007. According to that report, “Plateau
(along with 3 other vendors) established early integrated performance
and compensation leadership, thanks to their depth of functionality.”
Forrester added that with “their (Plateau and
one other vendor) history in learning and Plateau's well-defined forward
looking strategy gives [them]
a leg up in career development planning, and they are good options for
companies with a strong emphasis on integrating learning into their
overall talent management strategy.”
