SAN MATEO, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--SuccessFactors, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFSF), the global leader in [ on-demand performance and talent management solutions ], today announced its sponsorship of the SaaS/Gov '09 conference on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 in Washington D.C.

The SaaS/Gov '09 conference represents collaboration between INPUT, the authority on government business, and the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the nation's leading authority on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and promises active discussions on how to leverage Internet-based technology to transform government-based systems.

The Obama administration's creation of US Chief Performance Officer (CPO) position demonstrates the challenge of optimizing government talent, transparency, and strategic visibility in order to accelerate government operations and accountability. With increasing budget deficits, the new CPO will need an effective way to measure performance and eliminate government inefficiency and waste.

SaaS and performance and talent management will play a vital role in improving efficiency and driving government performance. SuccessFactors' mission of revolutionizing the future of work with its on-demand solutions will meet these challenges head-on.

SuccessFactors' fully integrated suite of performance management tools provides private sector solutions to public sector agencies and enables a pay-for-performance culture where people are rewarded for the work they do, ensuring top-quality performance. By providing deep and real-time visibility into critical performance data, government agencies are able to make strategic, more informed decisions about how to promote, recruit, compensate, reward and manage their entire employee base in a way that makes the most out of our tax dollars.

"SuccessFactors is thrilled to partner with SaaS/Gov ‘09 as the interplay between SaaS and government efficiency will only heighten going forward," said Lars Dalgaard, SuccessFactors CEO. "SuccessFactors' on-demand performance management solutions allow government administrators the tools to enable a more focused, streamlined workforce, critical to overall organizational performance."

The SuccessFactors Performance and Talent Management Suite, which includes Performance Management, Goal Management, 360 Degree Reviews, Succession Management, Compensation Management, Learning and Development, Recruiting Management, Employee Profile, and Analytics and Reporting applications, creates a company-wide network of information related to employee performance, including skill-sets, interests, career aspirations, ability to relocate, experience, languages spoken and more.
