SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Global businesses are always on the lookout for new and innovative ways to manage their people processes, and the cloud has increasingly become a strategic technology to enable simplification and success. Many are turning to SuccessFactors, an SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) company, for its cloud-based human capital management (HCM) solutions. The cloud leader is broadening its command in the marketplace with new U.S.-based customers signing on in recent months.
As the world's leading global manufacturer of home appliances, Whirlpool Corporation serves more than 170 countries and encompasses 100,000 employees and 70 manufacturing and technology research centers worldwide. Seeking to create the foundation needed to consistently deliver strong HR strategic business solutions, the Michigan-based company decided to implement the SuccessFactors® HCM Suite including the SuccessFactors Employee Central solution.

"With SuccessFactors, CommScope will be able to efficiently integrate acquired companies, automate manual processes and manage employee data with higher accuracy," said Joanne Townsend, senior vice president, Human Resources, CommScope. "Our size, reach, operational precision and personnel power our advances into new forms of communication, and SuccessFactors will help manage our talent and thus enable us to remain at the forefront of the telecommunications technology evolution."

"Integrity in all of our business practices is paramount to our success," said Keith Milburn, CIO, GROWMARK. "We employ and continually train personnel who deliver solutions for customers, focusing on product and service recommendations that meet their unique needs. These investments will position GROWMARK for the future and provide innovation, technology and efficiency to our customers and employees."
