RE/MAX California, SuccessFactors persistently connect employees with corporate resources, community and content via community toolbar

Redwood Shores, CA - May 7, 2007- Conduit, the leading platform for building online communities via community toolbars, today announced the successful deployment of Conduit for workplace communications. Several organizations including RE/MAX California and SuccessFactors, the global leader in on-demand Performance & Talent Management solutions, have created and launched community toolbars to instantly connect employees, via the browser, with the latest corporate resources, alerts, news, and the intranet. This has resulted in a more informed and productive employee community.

Internal corporate communications can directly impact corporate performance by strengthening employee communities and fostering integration between departments. Hence, organizations are in constant search of a better way to keep their employees connected and informed. While email is the current standard, it is not persistent and is frankly an overused and tired medium. Conduit is ideal as it's a fresh new medium that is persistent on the employee browser, is completely free, easy to use, and does not require engineering support.

The SuccessFactors TeamBar was created in one day and with no engineering resources. It integrates the company's internal functions and presents all of the resources in a single application that sits on each employee's browser as a toolbar. The TeamBar consists of the following:

  • Single login for all corporate applications
  • CRM
  • Communications tools
  • Product demo environment
  • Employee directory
  • Intranet
  • Accounting and expense report systems
  • Product development tracking
  • Other online resources both internal and external
  • The company's web-based Performance & Talent Management Solution which helps employees manage goals and development, evaluate performance and get feedback.

"With our company growing so rapidly, we needed to find an easy and customizable way to centralize access to all communications and corporate tools," said Max Goldman, Group Product Marketing Manager at SuccessFactors. "We chose Conduit as it presented a fresh new way to engage and inform our employees, it was free, and took us less than an hour to create. We continue to receive tremendous positive employee response, and 100% participation, and are incredibly pleased that Conduit met our very high expectations."

"Who better to understand the importance of consistent and persistent internal corporate communications than the global leader in Performance & Talent management," remarked Ronen Shilo, CEO of Conduit. "Our mission is to facilitate the engagement of communities, and certainly employees are the most critical community for an organization. We are thrilled to be part of SuccessFactors' mission to leverage Web2.0 services to create connected and engaged internal communities."

In only three simple steps, any organization can create their corporate browser bar with select company content, efficiency tools, third-party resources and the best of their intranet. Packaged free components include alert functions (RSS, ticker) communication (messages & chat), radio, weather, and email notifier. Create your corporate browser bar at www.conduit.com.
