HR Insight: An Industry Update First Analysis Investment Banking October 2011 Labor Markets The Bureau of Labor Statistics ( BLS ) reported continued labor market improvements with non-farm payrolls flat from July to August while the BLS unemployment rate continues to hover just north of 9.0%. The employment environment continues to present a headwind for many companies across the HR Services and Technology sectors. Monthly Change in U.S. Non-Farm Employment (January 2001 to August 2011) (all employees, in thousands) 900 700 500 300 100-100 -300-500 -700-900 Jan-01 Jan-03 Jan-05 Jan-07 Jan-09 Jan-11 Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% Monthly U.S. Unemployment Rate (January 2001 to August 2011) Jan-01 Jan-03 Jan-05 Jan-07 Jan-09 Jan-11 Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Industry Focus: Demographic Changes Highlight Increasing Role of Talent Management Systems While current conditions are dominated by near- to medium-term national and global economic factors, several longer-term demographic trends are likely to have a sustained impact on demand for agile and dynamic SaaS-based talent management systems. Baby Boomers Exit the Workforce. As baby boomers exit the workforce, the need for skilled workers will escalate. An estimated 7,000 baby boomers turn 65 each day, or 78 million between now and 2030. As a result, many companies will soon be facing a shortage of skilled workers. To manage this dynamic, proven and effective talent management systems that enable companies to identify, attract, train and retain new talent will be in demand. Lifers are an Endangered Species. There has been a generational shift in career attitudes that increases employee turnover and, therefore, necessitates developing depth of talent throughout the organization. Younger workers are expected to engage in four to seven different careers in their lifetime. As a result, businesses need to develop workers that are capable of (nearly seamlessly) stepping into vacated positions. Therefore, performance measurement tools that facilitate performance-based compensation and retain the best employees will be increasingly important.

Heavy HRMS Systems Ready to be Replaced by Light Talent Management Systems. Legacy Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) have often been an offering within a broad suite of products offered by ERP vendors. These HRMS systems are often less effective solutions than focused talent management offerings that are developed and maintained to be class-leading solutions. In particular, HRMS systems often suffer from: Require costly IT support (since they are installed within the firewall); Require expensive and complex upgrades; Require formal training to use. These deficiencies provide opportunities for SaaS-based talent management solutions to replace many incumbent systems by providing intuitive, low-maintenance and easily-deployed solutions. Growth Across Service Sectors Increases Need to Manage Human Capital. As the U.S. economy transforms and the services sector expands while the manufacturing sector declines, people management becomes more important relative to managing hard assets. Competitive advantage will be won and defended by a company s ability to identify, attract, train, and retain an inventory of human capital. In this context, effective talent management systems become an increasingly critical management tool. Industry Stock Market Performance While HR Technology stocks have performed strongly over the past five years, recent performance is has been weaker and lagged both the HR Services index as well as the broader markets. 5 Year Indexed Performance 1 Year Indexed Performance 200% HR Services Index S&P 500 HR Technology Index SDAQ 200% HR Services Index S&P 500 HR Technology Index SDAQ 150% 150% 100% 71.1% 100% 50% 8.0% 50% 1.9% 0% -50% (15.0%) (15.4%) 0% -50% (0.6%) (1.3%) (11.6%) -100% Sep-06 Sep-07 Sep-08 Sep-09 Sep-10 Sep-11-100% Sep-10 Dec-10 Mar-11 Jun-11 Sep-11 Source: Capital IQ.

Industry Capital Raising Activities In line with broader market activity, capital raising activities for the sector have been subdued. However, with market valuations improved, companies with strong projected growth and the ability to leverage technology to accelerate earnings growth are expected to tap the equity markets to fund future growth and provide liquidity to shareholders. The sector continues to attract the interest of investors, and larger private companies are likely to pursue public market options, including potential IPOs.
