Industry Analyst Judy Sweeney to Discuss How Integrated Talent Management Solutions Improve Business Performance

Waltham, MA – January 29, 2007 – 

Authoria, Inc., the leader in integrated talent management solutions, today announced a complimentary webcast that will explore the accelerating trend of  employers taking an integrated approach to managing their critical talent-related functions – including recruiting, performance management, compensation, succession planning, and learning/employee development. 

Judy Sweeney, senior vice president at AMR Research, will join Authoria senior executives to review why and how employers are replacing conventional tools – such as spreadsheets, word-processing packages, and “single-silo” software for individual HR functions – with a new generation of integrated talent management (ITM) solutions. Drawing on the recent experience of leading enterprise adopters, Sweeney will provide guidance on the criteria for selecting a “best-in-class” ITM solution; proven approaches to deployment; and the improvements in overall business performance that organizations can expect.

This free online event is the first in the Authoria 2007 Talent Management Webcast Series, which will examine best practices and trends in strategic talent management throughout the coming year. 

Webcast attendees will learn:

• How new tools and processes enable more effective talent management,
  by serving line-of-business managers better
• Key criteria for evaluating the new generation of talent management solutions
• Lessons from leading-edge adopters in how to select and deploy ITM solutions
