Cezanne Software, a leading provider of integrated solutions for human capital management and compensation planning, today announced that it has received a "Positive" rating in Gartner's "MarketScope for Employee Performance Management Software, 2007."

The report, authored by Gartner Research Vice President, James Holincheck, evaluates vendors in the EPM software market based on seven key criteria: marketing strategy, product strategy, business model, product/service offering, overall viability, sales execution and customer experience.

Carlo Ugdulena, Chief Executive Officer of Cezanne Software comments: “We’re delighted to have received a positive rating from Gartner. We believe their assessment confirms our strength in the EPM and talent management software market, as well as our commitment to continue to deliver comprehensive product functionality backed by service excellence.”

He continues: “Companies are increasingly looking for EPM solutions that go beyond just performance management and offer functionality for succession and compensation management. We have always taken the view that companies benefit most from performance management when it is part of an integrated approach to talent management. As a result, we offer one of the most comprehensive talent and performance management solutions available today. Clients can pick from a range of integrated modules that cover the complete talent management life cycle, from recruitment and administration to training and development; and from performance, career and succession management to pay for performance and compensation management.”

“And, as our recent partnership with Hay Group demonstrates, we’re constantly working to help companies build a more comprehensive view of every aspect of their talent management activities. The integration between our own Salary Analysis software and Hay Group’s PayNet service, means customers can more easily make the link between performance and pay within their organisation, and then validate their strategy against the market.”
