Rapidly Deploy Performance Management Software

<strong>Mountain View, Calif. &mdash; Oct. 12</strong><br />SumTotal Systems Inc., a global provider of talent and learning management solutions, has launched ResultsOnDemand – Performance for HR professionals who want to rapidly deploy software that either builds or manages systems for employee performance and compensation.<br /><br />”Whether you&#39;re looking to automate performance appraisals for the first time or apply technology to inspire the way you currently assess your talent, ResultsOnDemand provides an easy-to-use, intuitive interface for employees and employers,” said Jon Ciampi, SumTotal vice president and general manager for OnDemand Solutions. “ResultsOnDemand offers HR pros a way to manage employee appraisals, goals, succession planning and compensation.”<br /><br />As reported by IDC in research titled “Worldwide Workforce Performance Management 2007 &mdash; 2011 Forecast,” 59 percent of respondents to a survey about performance management processes noted that they either rely on a paper-based system for things such as succession planning and employee appraisals or have no system in place.<br /><br />”Clearly, many HR pros have the need for a better way to do business,” Ciampi said. “So we&#39;ve introduced a product with performance appraisal workflows that mirror the best practices of hundreds of employers.<br /><br />”ResultsOnDemand can quickly become the foundation for an HR team that wants to put in place a process for managing employee performance, or it&#39;s flexible enough to map to the way an organization already evaluates employee performance. “Either way, this new SaaS offering spells two things: first, speedy implementations, and second, continuously applied enhancements instead of periodically applied improvements over a long release cycle.”
