US Cloud Company Sets Up European HQ

Enterprise Cloud Company Rapid Expansion Sees Opening of European Multilingual Support Centre in Dundrum, Dublin

Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mary Coughlan TD has announced that SuccessFactors Inc. a global leader in on-demand performance and talent management solutions, is establishing a new European Multilingual Business Centre in Dundrum, Dublin, creating almost 40 high-value jobs over the next three years.

SuccessFactors helps organisations of all sizes, in all industries, and across all geographies, to optimise and align their workforces, linking business goals and strategy to execution through its ‘Performance & Talent Management Suite'. It has established itself as one of the worlds' most massively deployed on-demand business applications in the Enterprise Cloud with 5.1 million users.

The Centre is in response to SuccessFactors' accelerating commercial momentum across Europe and increased customer demand, and will service customers in the small and medium size markets.

Making the announcement, the Tánaiste said, "As SuccessFactors and its solutions are highly regarded and its technology is industry leading, the location of this Centre in Dublin is a significant addition to Ireland's already well respected software industry. Given the company's market-leading position, it is also another excellent endorsement of Ireland as an emerging European innovation leader in multi-lingual, technical and customer support activities for client-focused international

companies.

The Tánaiste added that companies using the Enterprise Cloud are a strategic focus for IDA Ireland to further enhance Ireland's existing global-leading software industry.

The SuccessFactors ‘Performance & Talent Management Suite' creates a company-wide network of information related to employee performance, including skill-sets, interests, career aspirations, ability to relocate, experience, languages spoken and more. By providing such visibility companies are able to make better, more informed decisions about how to promote, recruit, compensate, reward and manage their entire employee base. The Suite's latest module allows organisations to maintain centralised employee information with deeply integrated social networking and collaboration, giving it a more complete picture of their people.

Lars Dalgaard, (pictured above) CEO of SuccessFactors, who won Lars Dalgaard was named winner of the 2008 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award in Northern California in the Software-as-a-Service category, said, "SuccessFactors is focused on supporting customer success by directly linking business strategy to employee execution. Our ability to help customers achieve commercial success through better business execution and employee performance is truly unique, and is reflected in our own commercial growth and continued geographic expansion."

He added, "Our investment in the new Dublin office is an integral part of supporting our customers. Dublin's international reputation in multilingual activity, combined with the ready availability of a diversity of multilingual talent in one city, its European air access, and its competitive costs relative to other European locations made it the logical choice for us."
