Microsoft and SuccessFactors would make a great couple

Recent activity suggests Microsoft should seriously consider acquiring SuccessFactors from SAP, an idea that Nucleus thinks is shrewd. The two would make a great couple, with SuccessFactors checking off the box for talent management to afford Microsoft an immediate toehold in human capital management (HCM). SuccessFactors’ partnerships with WorkForce Software and others could then become Microsoft’s, as well, providing a clear path to obtaining the rest of HCM – which, Nucleus believes, belongs in Microsoft’s strategic vision.
