"TEDS was ahead of its time, promoting and selling the benefits of strategic workforce management before most organizations realized the benefits of an integrated platform. TEDS designed its products on this core foundation, which is also critical to effective Talent Management," the reports states.

The report describes the advantages of TEDS’ integrated Talent Management suite, saying, "TEDS’ single platform design provides inherent integration of profile and workflow management across all modules and processes. The suite offers strong support for initiatives such as integrated performance management and development planning, integrated performance and succession planning, integrated recruiting and performance management and integrated learning and performance."

TEDS’ key differentiators, according to the study, are rich competency management and support for strategic sourcing. "TEDS’ RTC Power™ provides tools to automate and integrate management of employee roles, tasks and competencies (RTCs)," the report states. "Certification and training processes are automated, providing organizations with a record of compliance and alerts when compliance may be at risk. A wide range of regulatory requirements are supported, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, FDA, NRC, ISO, OSHA, DIT and FCC. Beyond its value for audit purposes, RTC Power also supports talent management efforts by creating a real time inventory of an organization’s collective skills and competencies."

TEDS Job Vision™ was also highlighted as "a planning and management tool that utilizes a strategic approach at placing and advancing the best possible internal and external candidates for job vacancies and promotions. To unify talent management objectives across organizational lines, Job Vision automates the convergence of individual career goals, human capital deployment strategies, job opportunities and evolving business plans."

"We are very pleased with this analytical validation of our single platform Talent Management solution," said Joe Ellis, President and CEO of TEDS, Inc. "We were also delighted that Bersin & Associates recognized our laser focus and deep understanding of business and human capital issues."
