SuccessFactors to Launch First Business Execution Solution in Google Apps Marketplace
SuccessFactors Express Will Bring BizX to 2 Million Google Apps Customers
SAN MATEO, Calif., March 9 -- Today, SuccessFactors, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFSF) announced that it plans to launch SuccessFactors Express in the Google Apps Marketplace(TM), Google's recently launched online storefront for Google Apps(TM) products and services. This will be the first business execution solution to be made available to more than 2 million Google Apps businesses.
Express, which is one of SuccessFactors' Business Execution Software (BizX) solutions, is a cloud-based business application for smaller, emerging businesses (with less than 50 employees) to set goals, track progress, review employee performance instantly and execute at peak performance for the best possible results. Customers will soon be able to purchase SuccessFactors Express through the Google Apps Marketplace and instantly access and use it from Google Apps with single sign-on.
SuccessFactors BizX helps more than 6 million users and 3,000 companies improve business alignment and people performance to drive breakthrough results. For larger, more complex organizations, SuccessFactors offers its broader suite of BizX applications, which includes existing integrations with Google Apps collaboration tools including Google Talk(TM), Google Calendar(TM), Google Docs(TM), Google Book Search(TM), and Google Maps(TM).
"SuccessFactors is committed to bringing the power of the cloud to all companies - from emerging growth companies to global enterprises - and the Google Apps Marketplace is further validation of our vision for strategic integrations in the cloud," said Tom Fisher, vice president of cloud computing, SuccessFactors. "By adding Express to the Google Apps Marketplace, we plan to make it extremely easy for all Google Apps customers to instantly access a powerful, collaborative performance review web application that works seamlessly with Google's products."
"We are very excited that a cloud computing leader like SuccessFactors will be joining the Google Apps Marketplace," adds Scott McMullan, Google Apps Partner Lead for Google Enterprise. "Through the Google Apps Marketplace, companies like SuccessFactors are helping us build a rich ecosystem of integrated business apps that work seamlessly with Google Apps. SuccessFactors' Express and its easy upgrade path to its larger BizX Suite demonstrate the company's dedication to the cloud, no matter the size of company."
The Google Apps Marketplace makes it easy for more than 2 million Google Apps customers to discover, purchase and deploy integrated business applications and related professional services.
