, today announced the latest version of its top rated Softscape Apex® HR software, offering the industry’s most innovative and complete talent management platform in an easy-to-use system designed specifically to improve the day-to-day productivity of employees, managers, and executives. The Company’s latest release includes hundreds of new features that advance organizations’ ability to better manage their rapidly changing workforces.

A sampling of key enhancements within Softscape Apex 2010 includes:

• An expanded, social networking-based user interface (UI) that spans Softscape’s entire platform and includes advanced searching, rapid navigation tools, and integrated Manager Insight™, all leveraging expansive social capabilities. The new UI provides the most comprehensive talent profile available, including detailed historical core employee records, within an easy to use navigation structure.
• New embedded Smart Coaching™ highlights potential problems for managers and executives upon which they can easily act. Smart Coaching leverages an adaptable rules-based engine that pushes salient information and alerts - both tactical and strategic - to managers and presents them with practical guidance to rectify any issues. Smart Coaching transforms managers and executives from managing people “tasks” to proactive planning and thinking around people.
• Significant enhancements to Softscape’s Learning Management suite enable organizations to adopt true talent-based learning practices which are proven to improve workforce productivity, drive workforce alignment to overall business strategy, and enable the workforce to more quickly respond to rapidly changing business needs. Softscape’s updated Learning Management provides significant new capabilities for the learner, manager, and administrator, including a new “My Learning” portal for employees, enhanced certification and compliance tracking, advanced registration capabilities, new social-based learner views, enhanced demand management, and expanded catalog and content administration capabilities.
• A powerful updated nine-box calibration within Softscape’s Succession Planning suite enables organizations to strategically plan resources, optimize workforce effectiveness, and improve talent mobility. This new release extends nine-box analysis beyond talent pools and improves the overall usefulness and ease-of-use of talent pool management.
• Hundreds of additional enhancements - including comprehensive graphical dashboards for managers and employees, an intuitive query builder that does not require technical skills, Gallup assessments integration, and updated Workforce Analytics - are also included in Softscape’s latest release.

“The year 2010 marks a significant milestone for Softscape,” said Dave Watkins, CEO and co-founder of Softscape. “We are extremely pleased to be celebrating our 15-year anniversary, and what better way than to offer our global customers the most innovative and intuitive people management platform ever. This new release is a testament to our proven history and boundless vision of the future of HR technology.
