COLT is a leading European provider of business communications and managed
services to major businesses, SMEs and wholesale customers. COLT operates a

"SuccessFactors represented the most integrated, functionally rich and
user-friendly solution," said Heather Sawyer, Director of People and Change at
COLT. "As we are moving aggressively into the managed services space, we need
to increase our focus on skills and talent. We also want to ensure that every
employee feels personally connected to our corporate strategy with individual
goals that are clearly aligned. In looking for a new solution, we also wanted
to make a step change to our people processes ready for the new performance
year, 2010. The twelve week deployment timescale of SuccessFactors was
consequently very appealing. By equipping managers and employees to take
ownership of talent management, we hope to improve the quality and speed of
our processes - leading to more productive conversations and transparent
opportunities. We recognize that it is through engaging our people
individually that we will achieve our corporate goals."

The SuccessFactors solution will be deployed in Europe and India by the end of
2009, ready for use from Jan 1st 2010. COLT employees can select to view the
solution in English, French, German or Spanish to ensure full engagement, and
to support cross country management and reporting.

SuccessFactors CEO Lars Dalgaard added, "It is essential to have the right
skills and service levels in place at a global level to support entry into new
markets - particularly in the competitive environment of managed services and
telecommunications. COLT understands the power of proactively mobilizing and
aligning its internal talent to achieve its external objectives. We're looking
forward to supporting COLT in expanding its market share as it continues to
accelerate its range of services delivery on a global scale."
