Softscape First to Offer Customers Enterprise-class Performance Management Software For Free

CHICAGO--Softscape, the industry pioneer in innovative people management, today announced a bold initiative where new customers who purchase the company’s HR Management System (HRMS) will also receive its award-winning enterprise-class Workforce Performance Suite for free. Customers can now instantly take advantage of both enterprise best practices to better manage their performance appraisal processes and workforce effectiveness, as well as the HR infrastructure to manage historical employee records, on-boarding, time-off approvals, time and attendance, expense management, and grievance and incident tracking.

“Organizations can achieve operational excellence by linking historical records with strategic HR functions such as performance management or learning and development,” said Josh Bersin, CEO of Bersin & Associates, a research and advisory company specializing in enterprise learning and talent management. “Seamless, built-in integration removes common technology barriers and adds greater value to HR-related data since it can be used to facilitate real-time business decisions.”

Unlike trial offers from other vendors, Softscape is providing customers one full year of subscription fees of its award winning Workforce Performance Suite completely for free. The suite includes Performance Management, Goal Management, and Competency Management, along with Softscape’s unique Talent Profile and Development Wizard. All modules are inherently integrated in the company’s award wining Softscape Apex human capital management (HCM) platform.

Softscape Apex is recognized by industry analysts as the most comprehensive HCM platform. The complete platform includes workforce planning, talent acquisition, workforce performance, learning & development, succession planning, enterprise compensation, workforce analytics, collaboration, and HR management system (HRMS).

Softscape’s core HRMS also enables organizations to link historical employee records with job profiles and talent profiles into a single “talent portal” to gain more timely insight into employee and manager effectiveness. For example, historical employee records, including performance appraisals over a period of time, could reveal that a particular manager is having an adverse effect on a new team’s productivity, or historical data linked to development activities can show a positive return on training investments.

In addition, Softscape offers customers more choices for both implementation and hosting. Customers can choose which functions they want standard, which they want configured, and even further tailored to meet their specific requirements. Customers can also leverage the powerful configuration options in Softscape CMX™ to further configure their own deployments at any time.

“Softscape has always taken a personalized services approach with customers by offering them choices to best serve their needs”, said Dave Watkins, CEO and co-founder of Softscape. “We are dedicated to our customers’ success, and this initiative is one more option to help new customers implement best practices across their organization as quickly as possible.”

This free offer is available immediately to new customers who purchase Softscape’s HRMS. For more information on Softscape’s solutions, please visit http://www.softscape.com
