Derek Bluestone, vice president of product marketing, Kenexa, commented, "Kenexa has a long-standing position as the human capital management's industry leader. It was a natural progression of our R&D efforts to develop a platform that delivers a unified talent record, bringing together all of the details about a candidate or employee, regardless of where they are in the employee lifecycle or recruiting workflow. Our customers have given us very positive feedback about the potential that Kenexa 2x brings to their organizations. As Kenexa moves to the next phase of its growth, Kenexa 2x will be an integral part of that flight."
"Unifying key recruiting, onboarding and employee performance management functionality with a single employee record is a natural progression in what is a relatively siloed market. Integration will become more important as H.R looks to improve data quality and process consistency," said Thomas Otter, Research Director, Gartner. "Also expected to intensify is the need for mobile applications as HR professionals, employees, applicants and managers rely on mobile devices to conduct business."
