Forbes.com Names Authoria "Best of the Web" For Fourth Consecutive Year

Only Human Resources Solution Vendor to be Picked Every Year since the List’s Inception

Waltham, MA – December 9, 2004 – 

Authoria, Inc., the leader in strategic Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, today announced that Forbes has again included the company in its annual "Best of the Web" business-to-business guide.  Forbes recognized Authoria in the highly competitive Human Resources software category and ranked the company as one of its "Forbes Picks."

Companies are judged on several criteria, including strategy, execution, financial staying power, and Web site. Forbes reviews dozens of companies in each category before making its selections.  For B2B sites, the publication selects 4-6 sites per category as Forbes Picks.

In selecting Authoria this year, Forbes cited the company's integrated “enterprise performance, compensation and talent management software” as among the reasons it was chosen. Forbes recognizes that "the best new HR incarnations ... can actually help boost the bottom line …and provide real returns on investment and productivity advances that until a few years ago were thought to be wishful thinking."

"We’re delighted to receive Forbes.com’s Best of the Web Pick for the fourth year in a row," said Tod Loofbourrow, Authoria CEO. "Forbes’ selection once again recognizes our strong corporate performance, exceptional customer growth, and leadership in the strategic HCM space. It also highlights the value of our Authoria Advisor Series™, a fully integrated pay-for-performance suite including just-in-time knowledge and coaching for employees and managers—a unique offering and key ingredient in helping make our customer implementations so successful.”
