"SuccessFactors represented the most integrated, functionally rich
and user-friendly solution," said Heather Sawyer, Director of
People and Change at COLT. "As we are moving aggressively into the
managed services space, we need to increase our focus on skills and
talent. We also want to ensure that every employee feels personally
connected to our corporate strategy with individual goals that are
clearly aligned. In looking for a new solution, we also wanted to
make a step change to our people processes ready for the new
performance year, 2010. The twelve week deployment timescale of
SuccessFactors was consequently very appealing. By equipping
managers and employees to take ownership of talent management, we
hope to improve the quality and speed of our processes - leading to
more productive conversations and transparent opportunities. We
recognize that it is through engaging our people individually that
we will achieve our corporate goals." The SuccessFactors solution
will be deployed in Europe and India by the end of 2009, ready for
use from Jan 1st 2010. COLT employees can select to view the
solution in English, French, German or Spanish to ensure full
engagement, and to support cross country management and reporting.
SuccessFactors CEO Lars Dalgaard added, "It is essential to have
the right skills and service levels in place at a global level to
support entry into new markets - particularly in the competitive
environment of managed services and telecommunications. COLT
understands the power of proactively mobilizing and aligning its
internal talent to achieve its external objectives. We're looking
forward to supporting COLT in expanding its market share as it
continues to accelerate its range of services delivery on a global
scale." SuccessFactors recently unveiled its cloud-based Business
