Supports Business Performance of Customers Worldwide by Uniting World-Class Human Capital Management Content with Leading Talent Management Technology

Waltham, MA —June 8, 2010—Peopleclick Authoria, currently serving 60 percent of the Fortune 100 with best-of-breed suite solutions for Talent Acquisition and Talent Management, announces a strategic alliance with Mercer in supporting the launch of Mercer’s Human Capital ConnectSM. Through this strategic alliance, two distinct leaders in complementary Human Capital domains come together to bring clients worldwide an unmatched solution integrating the best content and consulting practices from Mercer with leading technology offerings in Compensation, Performance Management and Succession Planning from Peopleclick Authoria.

“We are delighted to have been selected by Mercer as the exclusive technology engine to drive its innovative Human Capital Connect solution,” commented Joe Licata, CEO of Peopleclick Authoria. “By closely linking Mercer’s leading best practices and consulting services with our proven integrated Talent Management applications, we are formally enabling real-time continuous improvement through enhanced strategic decision-making capabilities across organizations worldwide. Measuring impact and results quarterly, monthly or even weekly, creates a static business process. Desired business outcomes must be driven into the enterprise and managed daily which this offering will afford.”

In an increasingly complex global marketplace, companies face ongoing pressure for innovation, accelerated delivery cycles, competitive pricing models, increased efficiency and profitability. While organizations have understood for some time the impact that sophisticated and integrated Talent Management processes can have on the overall success of the business, the complexity of their talent landscapes and the disparate intent and impact of existing Talent Management tools and services have not yet met the promise of improved business performance. With Mercer’s Human Capital Connect, powered by Peopleclick Authoria, employers truly can connect their rewards and talent strategies, programs and processes with a technology platform to achieve the long-awaited promise of a Human Capital solution that is expected to deliver tangible, long-term business results.

“In designing Human Capital Connect, we were looking for a Talent Management technology platform that would strongly align with our vision of a complete Talent Management solution,” explained Pat Milligan, President of Mercer’s Human Capital consulting business. “By selecting Peopleclick Authoria to power Human Capital Connect we can now seamlessly integrate Mercer’s world-class intellectual capital and consulting with Peopleclick Authoria’s world-class software into a single offering that we feel will resonate in the marketplace.”
