SuccessFactors' PerformanceManagement Suite Meets High
Demands for Reliability and Scalability
Brisbane, CA — July 22, 2003 — Wily Technology,
the leader in Enterprise Java Application Management, today
announced that SuccessFactors, a leading provider of Employee
and Business Performance Solutions, has chosen Wily’s
Introscope to maintain optimal performance of its hosted
PerformanceManagement 9.0 suite.
SuccessFactors’ integrated Performance Management
Suite helps companies build and maintain a high-performance
workforce by facilitating a comprehensive, ongoing performance
management process, including: Goal Alignment, Performance
Measurement, Competency Ratings, Performance Reviews, 360/Multi-Rater,
Coaching/Development and Succession Planning. SuccessFactors’ innovative
analytic tools provide statistics and gap analyses to help
management implement key initiatives such as talent management
and Pay-for-Performance.
Used by companies worldwide, Introscope offers a Whole Application™ view
into the entire application environment, allowing IT teams
to identify performance problems whether inside the application
itself, the application server, or in back-end transactional
and supporting systems. Introscope’s Blame™ technology
isolates bottlenecks in production systems all the way down
to individual Servlets, JSPs, EJBs, Classes, Methods and
more. Wily’s patented low-overhead agent technology
allows IT staff to manage live production applications and
their operating environment 24x7.
"Because SuccessFactors' solutions are essential for
helping our customers tie employee performance directly to
the execution of overall business strategies, it is important
that we guarantee immediate access to critical information," said
Lars Dalgaard, President and CEO, SuccessFactors. "Wily
Technology's Introscope allows us to monitor our Performance
Management applications 24x7 and to pinpoint application
performance issues quickly, before they affect our customers.
We expect our many large corporate users to have a web experience
comparable or better than locally installed software. Our
partnership with Wily is an excellent fit with SuccessFactors'
commitment to 100% customer satisfaction, and keeping every
single customer referenceable."
"The ability to monitor Portal and Integration solutions
is a key advantage for our enterprise customers," said
Dick Williams, Wily's president and CEO. "As more enterprises
deploy these solutions to simplify content delivery and integrate
business processes, it's important that they have a proven
management tool in place. The first comprehensive solution
for the WebLogic Platform, Wily's suite of products allows
IT teams to monitor production systems in real time and pinpoint
component-level performance issues before they affect the
end user, enabling enterprises to better ensure the reliable
transfer of critical business information around-the-clock."
"Introscope allows companies such as SuccessFactors
to ensure that their critical applications remain healthy
and available around-the-clock," said Mike Malloy, Wily
Technology's vice president of marketing. "Introscope's
deep visibility into the whole Java application environment—the
application, the application server and connected back-end
systems—allows IT teams to better ensure their applications
meet rigorous demands for performance while delivering superior
Quality of Service."
