UK Training Industry Press Releases

The Spring 2010 release of the Plateau TMS V6 addresses user requirements for a flexible, comprehensive talent management solution that allows customers to manage employees more effectively, improve and align employee performance with compensation, and support strategic decision-making and planning.

Delivering more than 30 new features and enhancements, this latest release makes talent management more visible, inclusive and accessible across an organisation's entire user community.

Underscoring Plateau's commitment to making customers successful, Plateau TMS V6 extends the core capabilities of Plateau's performance, compensation, career and succession planning and learning solutions to provide the company's more than 10 million users with a fast, flexible and practical way to deliver their key talent management processes.

"Enterprise-class SaaS solutions for talent management require an easy to use, yet powerful application that can provide organisations with a complete view of their talent," said Paul Sparta, chairman and CEO of Plateau Systems.

"Navigating the complexities of today's dynamic business conditions requires talent management vendors to develop solutions that specifically address those requirements and deliver them as part of an extensible application that can grow with the customer. Our Spring 2010 release of Plateau TMS V6 equips users with the industry's most complete set of talent management functionality, built on an extensible platform that can be adapted to meet their requirements."

Significant updates available in the Spring 2010 Release of Plateau TMS V6 make it easier for organisations to determine if they have the right people with the right skills in the right job - at any particular time. Release highlights include:

• Enhanced manager experience - Extended ‘My Team' views with dynamic drill-down capabilities and expanded collaboration features allow managers to access key information and status at both the individual and team level, delegate privileges and activities and solicit performance feedback from users outside of a direct reporting chain.
• Streamlined end-user experience - Expanded search features and language capabilities, coupled with seamless navigation across the full talent management suite and easy access to over 80 social, collaboration and knowledge-sharing tools that increase employee engagement combine to deliver a more cohesive, consistent and relevant end-user experience.
• Insight and control - Configurable and drillable, flex-powered dashboards increase manager and end-user productivity and facilitate informed decision-making by providing real-time visibility into critical talent management data and processes.
• Advanced administrator capabilities - Workflow flexibility and enhanced administrative features allow administrators to more easily access and implement their core talent processes, including designing and defining multi-step approval processes and configuring performance review templates and settings.
• Greater global deployments and increased user adoption - New multilingual data framework and data localisation capabilities encourage cross-geography team-building, foster anytime, anywhere collaboration and knowledge-sharing and drive increased user adoption and utilisation within and across global customer organisations.
• Extensible in the cloud - Built on Plateau Foundation, a flexible new Java-based extension framework, Plateau TMS V6 delivers a Platform-as-a-Service that uniquely enables a customer to implement company and/or industry-specific extensions in the Plateau SaaS application to support their critical talent processes.
