Plateau Systems Recognized as a Leader in Magic Quadrants for Employee Performance Management and Corporate Learning Systems

Gartner, Inc. has positioned Plateau as a “Leader” in two of its recently released Magic Quadrants: the Magic Quadrant for Employee Performance Management+ and the Magic Quadrant for Corporate Learning Systems (CLS)*.

“We’ve long advocated a holistic approach to talent management that incorporates performance management, career and succession planning, and learning and development supported by a talent management system that’s truly unified, from data schema to the user experience,” said Paul Sparta, CEO of Plateau Systems. “We believe this recognition confirms that Plateau is a leader in performance management software, and when considered along with Plateau’s position as a Leader in the recently published Magic Quadrant for Corporate Learning Systems, demonstrates Plateau’s considerable position as a comprehensive talent management systems player.”

A segment of the broader Talent Management Suite market, Gartner’s view of employee performance management (EPM) software includes performance, succession and compensation management capabilities.

Gartner evaluated the performance management, career and succession planning, and total compensation management functionality of Plateau’s unified Talent Management Suite for the 2011 Employee Performance Management Magic Quadrant. According to the report, “Integrated EPM deployments continue to grow, and customers are increasingly implementing EPM solutions enterprisewide”.

The Plateau Talent Management Suite allows HR leaders to more effectively manage their business’ largest ongoing investment - their people - by automating and improving key talent management processes and providing critical insight about the workforce.

Gartner evaluated Plateau Learning for the 2011 Corporate Learning Systems Magic Quadrant among 19 vendors, noting, “Leaders must not only meet the market's current requirements, which are continually changing, but also anticipate future requirements. Vendors must articulate how they will address these requirements as part of a vision for an expanded CLS.”
