Plateau Delivers Enhanced Talent Management Analytics Offering
Latest Version of Plateau Analytics Offers On-Demand, Actionable
Information to Track and Improve Talent Management Effectiveness
ARLINGTON, Va. (Business Wire EON) July 16, 2008 --
Plateau Systems, a leading provider
of talent
management software, services and solutions, today released the
latest version on Plateau
Analytics, a pre-configured solution for performing analysis on
learning and performance data captured and managed in Plateau’s
Talent Management suite. By monitoring critical learning
and performance
processes, this enhanced version of Plateau Analytics delivers relevant,
actionable information organizations need to more effectively manage,
organize and optimize their workforce.
“One can think of different talent management
capabilities as levers that managers and executives can use to affect
business results. Managers and executives need to decide what levers (or
combination of levers) they should pull to achieve the desired business
outcome. Once you decide which levers to pull, that should drive how you
configure and use the talent management applications,”
said Jim Holincheck, Managing Vice President at Gartner, Inc..* “Talent
management applications implemented by themselves do not provide the
insight necessary to determine which levers to pull; they are the levers.”
Moreover, “to unlock the strategic value,
customers need a well-integrated set of talent management applications
that provides the data foundation for workforce
analytics to help users understand what levers they need to pull to
address specific business issues or to drive specific business outcomes."
Plateau Analytics enables companies to more effectively align talent
management initiatives with business objectives, and analyze data in
various combinations to uncover trends and exceptions related to the
impact of specific talent management initiatives on business
performance. For example, with Plateau Analytics, organizations can
easily ascertain the status of employee certification required by a
regulatory change, what competency gaps exist in critical job positions,
the total cost of training, employee progress against development
plans, and the impact of talent management efforts on employee
competency assessments over a specific period of time. Plateau
Analytics aggregates this data and consolidates it into high-level
snapshots that give executives a big picture view and enables them to
maximize the value of their organization’s
talent management investment.
Comprised of four major components, Plateau Analytics includes a Data
Warehouse that stores a copy of all Plateau Talent Management learning
and performance data; an Extract and Load (ETL) process that connects to
Plateau Talent Management and populates the Data Warehouse; an Online
Analytical Processing (OLAP) framework for report creation and
management; and more than 35 pre-defined reports. Unlike competitor
offerings that pull information directly from the operational databases
behind their Talent Management Suite, Plateau Analytics pulls its
information from a Data Warehouse, giving it increased ability to
display and analyze trends – including the
vital ability to compare and contrast current and past performance,
which is only possible through a Data Warehouse. Additionally, by
offering pre-built Data Warehousing, ETL, OLAP and reports, Plateau
Analytics eliminates costs and time investments associated with custom
development and integration, enabling users to achieve faster ROI.
Plateau Analytics
offers a number of new features, including:
-
Performance enhancements, including an updated Data Warehouse
and ETL, which has been fully tested with large, complex data sets;
-
Two categories of performance-related reports, including Plans
and Goal Completion and Succession Planning;
-
Measure thresholds and custom number formatting, which allows
administrators to identify values within one or more measures of
particular interest and specify the most appropriate level of
precision;
-
An ‘All Users’
Measure, which provides insight into the total population of users
and allows easy comparison within the population that meets the
reporting criteria;
-
An ad hoc reporting feature, which allows administrators to
create new analysis directly against a Data Warehouse cube; and
-
The ability to save and publish custom reports for other
administrators to use and run.
“An explicit link exists between talent
management, improved productivity and business operations performance,”
said Paul Sparta,
Chairman and CEO, Plateau Systems. “By
harnessing their talent data and using comprehensive analytics, all
levels of the organization have the ability to make more informed
management decisions and truly understand the business impact of their
organization’s talent management initiatives.”
