bStratgtic empowers decision-makers to effectively identify, measure and manage workforce metrics with greater insight

12 May 2005- SwiftKnowledge, a business intelligence software and services company, has partnered with Kenexa, a global leader in talent management, to deliver bStrategic, a new web-based workforce analytics and reporting solution. bStrategic is designed to provide the critical information and metrics organizations need to make informed and actionable human resource business decisions tied to corporate business objectives.

Kenexa bStrategic goes beyond static reporting with a multi-dimensional approach that enables "what if" scenarios, executive dashboards, and self-service analytics, all adding up to higher management value. From a single sign-on, end-users will be able to securely access data from multiple sources such as recruiting systems, performance management systems, financial systems and human resource management systems to analyze trends, view and create reports, trigger "alert" messages, and drill deep into the data.

Kenexa's President of Human Capital Management, Troy Kanter, shared, "Often it is difficult to access and integrate varying sources of data that are stored in multiple systems within an organization. Companies that do not have the necessary technology infrastructure are unable to identify meaningful, value added metrics. bStrategic is completely web-based and is hosted by Kenexa. This alleviates IT departments from having to commit time and resources to hosting or managing a reporting solution. With Kenexa bStrategic, workforce data is accessible and reportable, allowing HR to report key performance indicators (KPI's) that align with an organization's strategic workforce goals."

Daniel Moloney, Ph. D., President of SwiftKnowledge, concurred. "Kenexa not only recognizes the challenges facing HR departments, but also has the vision and commitment to create and deliver a solution that can be leveraged by staff throughout HR and the rest of the company. We are excited not only by the benefit of this initial solution but the potential to deliver even more value over time."

Kenexa bStrategic has been fully integrated with the Kenexa Recruiter application. It comes populated with standard reports and role-based dashboards for various categories of users including recruiters, business executives, hiring managers, and human resource personnel.
