Lumesse (formerly Stepstone Solutions) is a Tier 1 Talent Management Suite. The first TM solution provider from Europe to make a real run at business in North America. Lumesse already had a recruiting product (i-Grasp) when it recently acquired Mr. Ted. This sort of corners the market in Europe, it will be interesting to see if the addition bolsters their position in other regions. Lumesse has a full suite of modules representing all functional disciplines of Talent Management.

SuccessFactors is a Tier 1 Talent Management Suite. Started as the powerhouse in Performance Management, SuccessFactors has grown all modules organically, adding Succession, Compensation, and Recruiting. In 2010 they acquired Infohrm to add Workforce Planning and CubeTree a business social networking platform. The product line represents a full suite of modules except for Learning, until the announced acquisition of Plateau is complete.

SumTotal Systems is a Tier 1 Talent Management Suite. Started in 2004 when Docent and Click2Learn merged and dominated the Learning Management space. They acquired a Performance Management company (MindSolv) in 2006. In 2010 they acquired Softscape who was probably the first to organically develop the ITM Suite. SumTotal more recently acquired GeoLearning a well established LMS platform. It will be interesting to see how the Softscape platform and GeoLearning are integrated with the other products.
