- Good Luck to SuccessFactors

SuccessFactors has a great offering. What Siebel got completely wrong with ERM, Successfactors got it right from a product and On-Demand delivery perspective. Given that they are now public, I can imagine the growth pressures being faced, now.
However, the reporting mashup initiative is naive. It has been proven time and again that real business performance gets measured across the data silos and business processes. For example if you wanted to know if support people are getting paid for performance - you need to aggregate 3 sources of data - support ticket system, HR (for hiring, skill level and pay) and CRM. Moreover the transactional application don't give analytics....try running this analysis in Salesforce.com: What % of the quarters did a Sales Rep make 70% or above of Quota, and a stack rank of the Sales Rep based on this metric?
Transactional systems merely list data in the form of a report. They don't give true analytics. The $6 Billion BI Software industry proves this.
Successfactors has the potential to be the performance dashboard of the company and the way to do that is to mashup/integrate/OEM a true SaaS BI platform. Many SaaS companies are OEM-ing SaaS BI platforms like www.pivotlink.com
