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. For

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."
A key pillar of Plateau's unified Talent Management Suite, Plateau
Learning allows organizations to develop a comprehensive learning
and development strategy that includes managing, developing, and
deploying online, instructor-led, and self-paced learning content.
