- Powerful Learning Metrics & Analysis: SuccessFactors
Learning provides customers with innovative and comprehensive
reporting and analytics that help drive better business outcomes
and give HR and learning leaders authoritative insight about the
state of their talent and talent development initiatives. Beyond
traditional learning metrics, such as course completions,
SuccessFactors Learning Metrics & Analytics helps ensure
corporate learning and development professionals can answer the
tough questions such as:
- What's the performance of employees in learning programs versus
those not enrolled?
- Is there a correlation between the percent of all learning
costs and firm profitability?
- Innovative Social Learning powered by SuccessFactors Jam
– The award-winning SuccessFactors Social Learning brings a
Facebook- and YouTube-like experience to corporate learning, making
it easy for anyone in the organization to share their
expertise, connect with communities, and quickly find the
information they need to get things done online or on a mobile
device. Social Learning can increase learning adoption, decrease
time to performance and helps lower learning costs while increasing
employee performance. Social Learning is directly integrated with
the formal LMS allowing users to easily find content through one
connected search across formal and informal content to find the
best resources to sharpen their skills.
- Unique 'Content-as-a-Service' (CaaS) – SuccessFactors
iContent uniquely provides content distribution and management in
the cloud, as a service, taking the headache and hassle out of
managing digital learning assets, from online courseware to
on-demand presentations and video, and provides learners with
reliable, high-quality on-demand access to both off-the-shelf and
custom content.
"Following the successful acquisition of Plateau, we're excited
and pleased to announce that we've delivered SuccessFactors
Learning as part of the BizX suite, with integration that provides
an integrated end user experience. But we didn't stop there --
we've also added powerful, unique capabilities to our
learning solution such as Social Learning, powered by
SuccessFactors Jam, and new Learning Metrics & Analytics," said
Jeff Kristick, vice president of
global product marketing, SuccessFactors. "As we move forward,
we'll continue to add enhancements across the board, with new
capabilities, and by improving the role of learning in the talent
management processes within the BizX suite."
