"We believe this recognition confirms that Plateau is a leader in performance-management software, and when considered along with Plateau's position as a Leader in the recently published Magic Quadrant for Corporate Learning Systems, demonstrates Plateau's considerable position as a comprehensive talent-management systems player", says Paul Sparta, CEO of Plateau Systems.

A segment of the broader Talent Management Suite market, Gartner's view of employee performance management (EPM) software includes performance, succession, and compensation- management capabilities.

Gartner evaluated the performance management, career-and-succession planning, and total compensation-management functionality of Plateau's unified Talent Management Suite for the 2011 Employee Performance Management Magic Quadrant. According to the report, "Integrated EPM deployments continue to grow, and customers are increasingly implementing EPM solutions enterprise-wide".

The Plateau Talent Management Suite allows HR leaders to more effectively manage their business's largest ongoing investment - their people - by automating and improving key talent- management processes and providing critical insight about the workforce.

Gartner evaluated Plateau Learning for the 2011 Corporate Learning Systems Magic Quadrant among nineteen vendors and noted that "Leaders must not only meet the market's current requirements, which are continually changing, but also anticipate future requirements. Vendors must articulate how they will address these requirements as part of a vision for an expanded CLS."
