SilkRoad Expands in Asia-Pacific

December 19, 2012 – SilkRoad, a provider of cloud-based talent management solutions, has broadened its footprint across Asia-Pacific-Japan adding a significant number of new clients from China in the North to New Zealand in the South. Youku and Jebson Group of China, Wacom Global and Credit Saison of Japan and TrustPower of New Zealand join the list of enterprises using SilkRoad’s Life Suite of integrated talent management solutions to engage employees from pre-hire to retire. “SilkRoad’s recent success in Asia is due in large part to a growing need for 21st Century talent management solutions that deliver mobile, employee-centric capabilities to address the challenges of a modern workforce,” said Flip Filipowski, CEO of SilkRoad Technology. “As businesses in the region evolve to compete on a global scale, they need to move away from manual paper processes to an automated, socially-driven strategy.” To support the growing demand for global talent management solutions in Japan, SilkRoad recently released its GreenLight learning management system in Japanese, and has integrated it with its Wingspan performance management software.
