CRG emPerform Provides Hosted Talent Management Solution to MRIS and RBI

April 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Corporate Renaissance Group (CRG), a global provider of innovative solutions that improve business performance and increase effectiveness, is pleased to announce that MRIS and its subsidiary, RealEstate Business Intelligence (RBI), have selected CRG emPerform™ as their employee performance management solution. MRIS, the leading developer of real estate technology and information as well as the largest multiple listing service (MLS) in the United States, and RBI will use emPerform to automate employee appraisals and to improve employee goal setting for more than 120 of their employees located in the greater Washington, DC – Baltimore, MD region.

MRIS and RBI were looking for an online performance management solution to better align employee performance to company strategic goals, significantly reduce the time spent on employee appraisals, eliminate their manual paper process, and integrate seamlessly into their current workflows.

A key factor in MRIS and RBI’s decision to choose emPerform over other vendors was its remote hosting ability. “In addition to its ease-of-use, we selected CRG emPerform for their hosted solution which blended perfectly into our Software as a Service (SaaS) business model,” said Jonathan Hill, President of RBI. “We were looking for a flexible product that could be deployed online with minimal effort from our internal hardware and IT resources.”

“Because every organization is completely different, CRG emPerform has always offered the flexibility of deploying on-premise or hosted with the ability to switch between the two at any point as they expand or shift”, said John Smith, Director of Enterprise Business Solutions at CRG. “We are pleased that emPerform is able to offer MRIS and RBI the ability to overcome their performance and talent management challenges and adhere to their SaaS business model.”
