Global Leader in Business Execution Software Accelerates Company-Wide Collaboration with Social Business Networking Capabilities
SAN MATEO, Calif., July 20 -- Today, SuccessFactors, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFSF), the global leader in Business Execution Software, announced that it has completed its acquisition of CubeTree, Inc., a visionary leader in the rapidly growing social business software category. CubeTree is an online collaboration suite that enables employees to connect, communicate and collaborate efficiently and securely.
"With CubeTree, SuccessFactors will truly be able to offer the key to unlock workforce productivity and close the gap between strategy and execution. CubeTree links SuccessFactors to every single person across an entire organization -- and links every person to one another. There is no individual in an organization that cannot benefit from using CubeTree," said Lars Dalgaard, founder and CEO, SuccessFactors. "This is a powerful combination that allows us to give the concept of BizX serious teeth: connecting day-to-day collaboration and execution directly to business strategy. CubeTree's social business capabilities on our secure, scalable Enterprise Cloud platform -- which already has more than eight million users -- is a win-win combination for CEOs and CIOs looking to bring the benefits of collaboration to their organization while maintaining the highest standards of security and reliability. We believe this is the way to change how the world works."
CubeTree will be a core part of SuccessFactors' Business Alignment product offering and extend the Business Execution Software strategy to let all individuals in every organization execute against their plans. CubeTree will be deployed to SuccessFactors' more than eight million users across more than 3,000 companies, reaching every staff level and role to make an impact in communication, collaboration and the social elements that increase efficiency in daily work.
"Joining SuccessFactors, with its leadership in the cloud and vision for BizX, is an immense opportunity for CubeTree," said Carlin Wiegner, CEO and co-founder, CubeTree. "SuccessFactors lets us reach any industry, in any geography across the globe, to fundamentally improve employee collaboration and execution. It's a dream combination to be able to apply social networking to an enterprise platform to make C-level strategy come to fruition."

CubeTree's secure, integrated social business solution gives companies a wealth of collaborative and social benefits, including:
-- Instant communication, collaboration and sharing: Everyone in a
company can quickly create rich profiles and begin engaging with
everyone in their organization to get work done, find co-workers who
can help and share insights as they happen.

talents, interests and expertise.
-- Powerful Team Execution through workspaces that enable groups to
immediately gather around a project, collaborate, share documents and
get work done.
-- Executive Dashboards that provide rich insights into the pulse of how
a company is executing everyday.
