With the release of version 2.1 of SAP Talent Visualization by Nakisa (SAP TVN), I wanted to highlight a few of the new innovations I’m particularly excited about.

SAP TVN was originally developed to empower users with clarity into their organization and talent with interfaces that visualize core HCM data. Each subsequent release of the solution has incorporated the latest technology and best practices in data visualization, so customers are always getting the most value out of their underlying HCM information. The enhancements with 2.1 are no exception.

We’ve worked to reduce the number of clicks it takes to visualize the right information and take the proper action. Part of this is thanks to the integration of new interactive Flash-powered tools such as our new Talent Grid (9-box) which supports drag-and-drop functionality enabling instant talent calibration on the spot.

We’ve also launched Profile Match for 2.1, an innovative decision support tool for succession planning. Users can quickly and objectively find the right successors for any given role. The Profile Match mechanism uses organizational competencies and qualifications to bring successors and positions together in a way that promotes alignment between global objectives and the talent pipeline.

The new Java Edition will offer our customers many benefits, mainly lowering their total cost of ownership. In addition to running on a .Net platform, organizations are now able to run SAP TVN on the Java platform, eliminating the need to purchase additional Windows servers

I am very excited about these enhancements and I invite you to sign up for a personal demonstration of our solutions in Nakisa’s VIP Zone.
