Plateau’s Solution Selected for Demonstrating Excellence and Innovation to HR Community
Arlington, Va. - 12 October, 2007–Plateau Systems, a leading provider of talent management software, content and services, today announced that Human Resource Executive® magazine named Plateau’s iContent® solution as a Top Training Product of 2007. The magazine's 19th annual awards competition recognized iContent, the industry’s only multi-vendor Internet solution for procuring, distributing, hosting, and managing custom content, for its innovation, ease of use, and the value it delivers to the human resources community. Award recipients were honored this week at the 10th Anniversary HR Technology Conference and Expo® in Chicago.
“Despite efforts to meld technology and content, most attempts have so far fallen short,” stated Human Resource Executive magazine. “But now, with the release of iContent, Plateau Systems has successfully solved many of the shortcomings that have been evident in previous offerings.”
Created in 1989, Human Resource Executive’s Top HR and Training Products award recognizes leading-edge products that provide value and innovation to the human resource industry. After briefings and product demonstrations, editors selected the Top Five Training and Top 10 Human Resource products from a record number of submissions. Products are selected according to their innovation, the value it brings to the human resource function of an organization, ease of use, and how well it delivers on its promises.
“Earning recognition as a top HR solution highlights the value iContent is providing customers and further validates Plateau’s leadership and success in delivering innovative, elegant, and easy-to-use talent management solutions,” said Paul Sparta, CEO of Plateau Systems. “By providing organizations with a flexible, cost-effective solution that solves complex content fulfillment, distribution and management issues, iContent is addressing and alleviating one of HR’s most expensive and time-consuming pain points.”
iContent is a next-generation solution for managing and delivering talent management content. Introduced less than a year ago, it provides a single place where customers can locate, store, and deliver thousands of third-party packaged content offerings as well as customer-specific content, increasing the value of their current talent management software solutions with minimal effort. iContent speeds the availability and delivery of content – regardless of the Learning Management System an organization uses - while decreasing the overhead costs and frustration associated with managing and storing learning and talent management content.

"Since launching iContent at last year's conference, we have seen significant adoption across a wide range of customers and industries, from large enterprise customers like the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, to highly-regarded financial services institutions and organizations including Western Union and Commerce Bank," said Paul Sparta, Chairman and CEO, Plateau. "Recognized by HR Executive as one of the industry's top training solutions, iContent blends technological innovation with usability, simplicity, and proven customer service into the only-one-of-its kind solution that is addressing and resolving critical, costly, and time-consuming HR challenges. iContent represents a pivotal evolution for the industry and we will continue to enhance and extend this solution as it becomes more and more critical to organizational talent management initiatives."
The enhanced iContent solution will be available in November. Conference attendees can visit Plateau at booth # 1001 to learn more about these new capabilities, the iContent Flex Card, and how to become an iContent trial user.
