"How To Get Everyone To Execute For Success," 2009 marks the first
year that SuccessFactors will host a SuccessConnect customer
conferences in the Asia Pacific region, and comes on the heels of
massive sales growth in the region. With a 160 percent compounded
annual growth rate since early 2006, SuccessFactors has grown its
customer base more than 85 percent year-over-year and now has more
than 550 customers and 270,000 users with a presence in Asia
Pacific. "Even in these unprecedented times, SuccessFactors is
growing from strength to strength -- not only in the US, but also
in the Asia Pacific region and other international markets," said
Murray Sargant, vice president of APAC sales. "In the past, our
APAC customers have attended our US-based SuccessConnect customer
conferences. We now believe the time is right and demand is high to
deliver our customer conference locally." Executives and customers
from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the
Philippines will be in attendance. Many of these attendees will
deliver breakout presentations to their peers and showcase how
SuccessFactors' suite of performance management tools has benefited
their organizations. Deloitte, Arthur Allen Robinson, Incitec
Pivot, Premier Farnell and Simms International are just a handful
of the customers confirmed to present. Closing the SuccessFactors
conference will be Dr. Tom Mulholland, television's "Attitude
Doctor" and one of New Zealand's leading motivational speakers,
coaches and mentors. He will provide powerful insights on how
organizations can improve productivity via "Healthy Thinking". For

expected to do more with less, and we know how important the
opportunity to listen, learn and share with others is in this
economic climate. We look forward to sharing successful ideas, best
practice, networking sessions and keynote presentations with our
valued customers," said Sargant. Employee Central: Bringing
Visibility to Critical Employee Information Also showcased at
SuccessConnect APAC will be Employee Central. Introduced earlier
this month, Employee Central connects employees dynamically and
delivers relevant, community-enriched employee information that
business leaders need to make strategic decisions about their
talent in order to improve business performance. The new
SuccessFactors module leverages the best in social networking and
Web 2.0 technologies and is as engaging and fun to use as today's
popular consumer-focused social media platforms. It enables
employees and managers to populate their personal profiles with a
rich set of information such as individual skill sets or
competencies, languages spoken, career goals, key accomplishments,
compensation history and leadership potential, and now puts this in
context of the basic information typically stored in a traditional
HRIS system to create an insightful and dynamic view of every
employee. "Employee Central brings social networking to the
enterprise, and we expect it to drive as much value in the Asia
Pacific market as we've seen in US-based companies since its
launch," said Lars Dalgaard, CEO of SuccessFactors. "Employee
Central is all about fostering collaboration and making strategic
decisions that affect every company's execution strategy. We're
thrilled to be able to introduce it to the APAC audience during our
first-ever SuccessConnect Local event in Australia and encourage
even more employee collaboration and interaction in the workplace."
