AUSTIN, Texas & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lumesse, a global leader in integrated talent management solutions, today announced that it will drive wider adoption among customer staff through a substantial new version of its Lumesse ETWeb integrated talent management solution, which features major enhancements to user experience, scalability and compatibility.
Lumesse ETWeb Version 11, launched today and available in 30 languages, brings an intuitive new user interface, a powerful new architecture, and wider compatibility with web browsers and Microsoft Office software, among many enhancements designed to increase its adoption among enterprise users worldwide. Lumesse ETWeb V11 also lays the foundations for important extensions to the product planned for 2012, including powerful new talent acquisition (e-recruitment) capabilities and the deep integration of learning management technology acquired with Edvantage Group.
Almost 2,000 companies in over 70 countries, including major brands such as GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, PSA Peugeot Citroen, British Airways and Carlsberg, now use technology from Lumesse, Europe’s largest independent software vendor in the talent management market.
Lumesse ETWeb V11 is available immediately as an upgrade to all new and existing customers, and is fully supported worldwide in over 30 languages by Lumesse.
“Our customers tell us they are focused on driving maximum benefit and data completeness from integrated talent management by increasing user adoption across their global businesses,” said Lumesse CEO Matthew Parker. “We’ve listened and responded with a superb user experience focused on ease-of-use, faster navigation, greater familiarity and wider compatibility with the latest web browsers and applications that people use every day. Lumesse ETWeb now offers the best combination of power, functionality and user experience of any talent management solution available worldwide.”
Adoption is increasingly critical for businesses looking to talent management as a way to drive global improvement in competitive performance. The new user experience in Lumesse ETWeb V11 has been designed to make it easier for both regular and occasional users in any language to gain maximum benefit from the application without lengthy training. Based on a navigation and visual model that will feel familiar and intuitive to users of current web 2.0 and social media applications, Lumesse ETWeb V11 will drive higher adoption among global users with its attractive, multi-lingual interface.
Improved navigation, reporting, searching and responsiveness will all help to drive better data quality, user productivity and satisfaction. In particular a new, configurable, interactive Talent Profile will help staff visualize their own information and objectives, and improve internal networking, while an interactive organization view will help managers be more productive and effective in daily tasks with detailed, configurable information views on areas such as potential, development, retention risk, bench strength, compensation and performance. Lumesse ETWeb V11 has a 100% web-based interface that now supports the latest version of major browsers, including IE9, FireFox and Safari.
Lumesse ETWeb is already in use by some of the world’s largest companies. The increased scalability of Version 11 will make it easier to support tens or hundreds of thousands of connected employees. Organizations will also benefit from lower cost-of-ownership from a reduced infrastructure requirement and greater compatibility. In line with the Lumesse philosophy of offering customers choice, Lumesse ETWeb V11 can be installed on-premises or fully hosted by Lumesse in one of its global data centers.
