SuccessFactors is the leading provider of cloud-based Business Execution Software (BizX) solutions to organizations of all sizes, with more than 6 million users across multiple industries and geographies. We strive to delight our customers by delivering innovative solutions, a broad range of content, process expertise and best practices knowledge gained from serving our large and varied customer base. Today we have more than 3,100 customers across more than 60 industries in more than 185 countries using our application suite in 32 languages. Our customer base includes organizations with as few as three and as many as 420,000 end users.

Application Suites

We offer a suite of Business Execution Software applications, delivered over the Internet, that enable organizations to optimize business alignment and the performance of their people to drive business results. Our modules utilize a single code base and reside on a multi-tenant architecture. To address the varied needs of different-sized organizations, we market different editions of our application suite:

Enterprise. For organizations with 2,500 or more employees, we offer Enterprise Edition. Enterprise Edition is our most fully-featured offering, providing functionality and configurability that can scale to support the complex needs of large, global enterprises with tens to hundreds of thousands of employees.

Mid-Sized Business. For organizations with 501 to 2,499 employees, we offer SuccessPractices. Mid-sized organizations typically need a robust solution but may not require the advanced functionality of our Enterprise Edition. Each of the SuccessPractices modules is pre-configured with best-practice workflows, form templates and other content tailored for the needs of mid-sized organizations and designed to allow for rapid implementations.

Small Business. For organizations with 50 to 500 employees, we offer Professional Edition. Small businesses typically need an automated solution but may not require the more advanced functionality of our other editions. Professional Edition includes modules pre-configured with the best practices of smaller organizations.

Emerging Business. For organizations with fewer than 50 employees, we offer our Express Edition, an out-of-the-box performance review solution. Express Edition is a web-based, user-friendly system that can be rolled out instantly, without implementation support.

Professional Services

Our professional services team’s mission is to deliver on the Business Execution solutions value proposition by helping our customers rapidly achieve the best results from our solution. With our cloud-based model, we have eliminated the need for lengthy and complex technology-focused tasks such as customizing code, deploying equipment, and managing unique network and application environments for each customer. Instead, we focus on business and HR best practices and business process review. Our implementation consultants are experienced performance management and HR professionals, rather than computer programmers, and many of them hold PhDs, MBAs and other advanced degrees.
