Extend Technologies Signs New Partnership to Deliver SuccessFactors Next Generation Business Execution Suite

Sydney, Australia 28 June 2012 – Extend Technologies, an SAP gold channel partner, announced that it has signed a SuccessSales partner agreement with SuccessFactors, an SAP company, to resell, implement and support SuccessFactors Business Execution (BizX) suite. This partnership enables the company to provide both standalone hosted human capital management (HCM) solutions as well as a comprehensive hybrid offering of SuccessFactors cloud and SAP on-premise solutions to the Asia Pacific market.

As the global competition for talent continues, organisations are constantly seeking solutions that will deliver a sustainable competitive advantage. The SuccessFactors BizX suite drives real business results by ensuring organisational alignment, optimising people performance, and building competitive advantage with greater workforce insights.

"Extend’s partnership with SuccessFactors will help our customers accelerate business execution," said Daire O’Mochain, head of the Human Capital Management Group, Extend Technologies. "Our HCM practice comprises consultants from HR and payroll management, organisational psychology and IT backgrounds. As part of the NTT DATA Business Solutions Group, which provides backing by 5,000 consultants worldwide, we can deliver projects that scale from dozens to thousands of employees in Australia and New Zealand, Asia Pacific/Japan and beyond. For companies that currently use SAP solutions within their HRIS landscapes, we offer skill sets in support of SAP solutions. Our specialists, with knowledge of SAP solutions in the HCM and payroll areas, can also advise organisations on how they can benefit further from the use of SuccessFactors solutions."

"SAP’s acquisition of SuccessFactors is particularly exciting for the HCM Practice at Extend Technologies," adds O’Mochain. "We are now in a position to service customers that are not using the SAP ERP application, but still want to take advantage of a market-leading HCM solution. For customers that are already using SAP solutions, we can now offer the cloud based solution that they previously could only adopt by engaging with a new vendor ... something that many customers did not necessarily want to do."

"Partners are a core element to SuccessFactors’ growth strategy in Asia Pacific," said Mercedes Ellison, vice president, global alliances and channels, SuccessFactors. "We are very excited to have Extend Technologies as part of the SuccessFactors ecosystem for the Australia and New Zealand marketplace. As an experienced SAP partner, Extend Technologies will bring a depth of expertise in HCM along with their close relationship with SAP."
