SuccessFactors Announces Delivery of Integration with Google Apps

SuccessFactors, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFSF), the global leader in on-demand performance and talent management solutions, today announced the delivery of five new capabilities integrated with the Google Apps(TM) suite of communication and collaboration products and other tools. The integration of SuccessFactors Performance and Talent Management suite with the products from Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) enables companies of any and all sizes to reap the benefits of cloud computing (no hardware or software to download, install or maintain), and extends SuccessFactors’ mission to help companies better manage, motivate and engage their people to drive better business results.

Google Integrations for SuccessFactors

SuccessFactors designed, developed and integrated the following five solutions with Google products. The first three are with Google Apps and the other two are integrations with other Google products. The integrations include:

• SuccessFactors and Google Talk(TM) – to instantly communicate with a manager, members of a team, or others to discuss specific goals, performance reviews, and development/project plans
• SuccessFactors and Google Calendar(TM) – to keep track of key events, deadlines against a goal plan, or key dates in the performance review process
• SuccessFactors and Google Docs(TM) – for sharing knowledge and promoting collaboration by posting relevant, recommended documents, spreadsheets, and presentations from the SuccessFactors system, making them available to the internal and external audiences through Google Docs
• SuccessFactors and Google Book Search(TM)- gives employees the tools to control their career development by providing clear visibility into the competencies they need to work on to prepare for future roles, along with relevant, suggested reading through Google Book Search
• SuccessFactors and Google Maps(TM) – helps understand where individuals and teams are located, and to coordinate activities and make informed decisions on deploying talent

So now SuccessFactors users need not switch applications, or even browser tabs, to find information and collaborate with their colleagues. The Google Apps integration makes SuccessFactors customers more productive in one place and is a compelling example of the possibilities of cloud computing (aka SaaS – Software as a Service).
