Halogen Software and WBT Systems to Provide Best-of-Breed Solutions for Employee Performance13 July 2005
Halogen Software and WBT Systems today announced a collaboration to bring their best-of-breed employee performance and development solutions to existing clients and new customers.
The companies will become sales and integration partners.
This relationship has been established to help mid-sized companies
address the growing need for more effective workforce management. Halogen
Software's Employee Performance Management (EPM) Suite and WBT's TopClass e-
Learning Suite are complementary solutions that help business units and HR
departments to personalize and simplify employee learning and performance
management efforts. The companies' solutions also include related services and
hosting.
"Our customers have told us they need to ensure their employee
development efforts are relevant and actionable", said Paul Loucks, President
of Halogen Software, "Our partnership with a leading provider of learning
solutions like WBT Systems will help our customers provide their employees
with the skills and knowledge to perform their jobs more effectively."
Employees at hundreds of companies already use Halogen's solutions to
identify the skills and competencies required of them during performance
appraisals and 360-degree reviews. WBT's learning solutions can assist these
employees by serving up appropriate learning activities to them through a
personalized portal. These activities might include upcoming classes, contact
information for colleagues with the necessary skills, simulations, or simple
documents all aimed at closing their skill gaps and supporting their job
performance.
TopClass also automates learner tracking. Thus, it can export individual
and group course completions and other learning metrics to Halogen's EPM
solutions for presentation and analysis relative to job performance measures.
"Over the past few years, Halogen Software has proven very adept at
addressing a growing corporate concern; the need to better engage employees by
helping them better understand their role in driving the performance of the
business." stated Declan Kelly, CEO of WBT Systems, "The two companies' shared
philosophy of low cost of ownership, ease-of-use, and customer support will
facilitate our joint efforts."
