During the two-day event, conference attendees had an opportunity to hear firsthand how some of Plateau's largest international customers, including Astellas, Caja Madrid, Gruppo Mediolanum, Maersk (APMM), Rolls-Royce, and Royal Ahold, are using Plateau's talent-management solutions to support the achievement of their broader organisational and business goals.

The conference also featured technical and business-related sessions from industry experts and Plateau executives on key current talent-management issues. Among them were collaboration and social networking tools, as well as the benefits of implementing a holistic talent-management strategy that focuses on linking employee skills with organisational goals and priorities.

Despite travel disruption caused by the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland, the conference delegates represented over seventy per cent of the international customer base for Plateau Systems, a leading provider of enterprise-class SaaS solutions for talent management.

"Plateau's first international user conference was a huge success", says Heath Williams, Plateau's vice president of international sales. "Our international customer and partner base is experiencing rapid growth, and Insights Europe 2010 provided a useful interactive forum where our users and partners were able to share their talent-management best practices and engage with Plateau's executives and solution experts."

LearnChamp, a leading consulting and technology-services firm providing specialised talent management, learning, and collaboration solutions to enterprise customers across Germany and Austria, served as Gold sponsor of the event. They were joined by Plateau partners Milengo, ElementK and Kesdee, who participated as Expo sponsors and exhibitors.

Plateau's next user conference, Insights 2010 "Riding the Talent Management Wave," will be held 01-04 November in Miami, Florida.
