Increase your bottom line, align your company around your strategic goals, raise the efficiency of your employees, achieve outstanding measureable business results all while your employees enjoy the experience…sound like Nirvana? Well, that's the basic promise of Cloud Computing.
Add to that the potential of Business Execution (BizX) software. We all agree that business applications fulfil a unique, focused and critical business role for the organizations they support. Unfortunately, many of these critical business metrics are trapped in those systems, isolated from broader visibility to the organization and never viewed in the context of the organisations major goals.
Extending our industry leading capabilities in Human Capital Management, SuccessFactors has now delivered THE way to insure that strategies, set at the Senior Executive level, cascade and translate to everyone in the organisation! With BizX, corporate strategies are communicated and translated into your employee’s day to day performance by securely integrating with your company’s business applications. Employees know they are working on, what they are being measured to and what’s most important to your company – all in a highly secure environment. No more background noise – “I know what the CEO just said but, wow, that’s not what I’m working on!” or “these people at the highest level of the organisation clearly have no clue what we’re doing at the worker level”.
How does it work? Well, like most companies your company probably sets its goals annually, twice a year or more frequently. These goals are loaded into SuccessFactors, translated and cascaded throughout the organization. Hard metrics represent the tangible evidence that everyone in the organization is aligned and that goals are carried throughout the organization from the systems employees and managers use every day. SuccessFactors Metrics Navigator, backed by the SuccessCloud partnerships, visualises these measurements in a common format and in ways that relate to the broader company goals with time based measurements to show how the organization is doing in multiple dimensions.
The result is that everyone’s goals are aligned – from the highest level executive to the individual contributor! Critical data, once trapped in critical business systems, is now out into context and made visible across the organization in a way that insures alignment of individual performance to the key business strategies.
SuccessFactors is pleased to be a sponsor of the Business Cloud Summit 09 on 2nd December. I encourage you to come along and see for yourself the potential and power of Cloud Computing and BizX and join in the debate.
