Ottawa, ON (PRWEB) February 13, 2008



Halogen Software Inc., a leading provider of web-based employee performance and talent management software, today announced that 2007 marked another record year in sales with 60 percent year-over-year growth. The fourth quarter of 2007, included record revenue with the company closing nearly 200 deals. Halogen’s proven ability to deliver an offering that provides enterprise-level functionality to organizations of all sizes, as well as a unique “On-Choice” deployment model has established Halogen as the solution of choice.



The employee performance and talent management market is growing rapidly, with a recent market study from Bersin & Associates valuing the talent management market at an estimated $2.8 Billion in 2008. Halogen’s growth continues to outpace even the rapid growth of this market segment due to the company’s focus on highly powerful, flexible and affordable employee performance and talent management applications. The company continues to build on its momentum in the industry securing its leadership position by winning nearly 200 deals and 200,000 seats in 2007 in competitive opportunities over its largest competitor, SuccessFactors.



Staying Informed with Halogen

One of Halogen’s newest customers, comScore, Inc., with nearly 900 clients, is a global leader in measuring the digital world. comScore analysts apply a deep industry knowledge to help clients design powerful strategies for their online marketing programs. To maximize this human capital expertise, the organization recognizes the need for an enterprise-level employee performance and talent management solution.



“With a geographically dispersed workforce, a paper-based process was cumbersome. We looked for an online system that would enable our employees to complete their appraisals wherever they are and make sure the process is consistent across all locations,” said Glenn Krauser, Sr. Vice President of Human Capital with comScore. “In the end, Halogen gave us the functionality we need and enables us to maintain the same process and forms our employees are familiar with. As we introduce changes to the forms or process, we will depend on the Halogen system to implement them.”



The addition of industry-specific solutions for financial services (http://www. halogensoftware. com/products/eappraisal-financial-services/) and professional services (http://www. halogensoftware. com/products/eappraisal-professional-services/) to Halogen’s product family, as well as Halogen’s long-standing and successful healthcare solution (http://www. halogensoftware. com/products/eappraisal-healthcare/), contributed to the company’s growth this past year.
