MuleSoft iON Supports Rapid Growth at PeopleMatter

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 8, 2011) - MuleSoft, provider of the #1 integration platform for the cloud, web and enterprise, today announced that PeopleMatter, the only comprehensive talent management provider for the service industry, has selected MuleSoft's iON integration platform as a service (iPaaS) as its integration solution. In this partnership, PeopleMatter uses packaged integration applications (iApps), built and deployed on the iON cloud platform, to integrate PeopleMatter's modules with its customers' other SaaS and on-premise systems. With iON, PeopleMatter is able to dramatically reduce sales cycles and customer implementation times.

With SaaS modules for hiring, scheduling, learning, recognition and performance management, PeopleMatter serves the needs of the foodservice, convenience store, hospitality and retail verticals. The company serves more than 50 customers with over 3,000 locations and approximately 80,000 employees. Every month the company is on-boarding upwards of 10 to 15 new customers with no signs of slowing. As PeopleMatter grows, the problem of integration has proven to be a critical friction point in the company's otherwise smooth customer on-ramp, and the company has partnered with MuleSoft to solve this problem using the cloud-based iON iPaaS.

"iON is helping us to resolve one of the most pressing challenges facing our customers today, and knocking down the barriers for new customer adoption," said Ken Haigh, COO of PeopleMatter. "Because iON is delivered as a cloud service and requires no software installation, it aligns perfectly with our no-software SaaS model, allowing us to 'embed' the integration as a seamless part of the solution that we deliver to our customers."

PeopleMatter and MuleSoft offer three packaged iApps to address the integration scenarios most commonly faced by PeopleMatter customers:

• iApp4Hire - integrates PeopleMatter HIRE™ with customers' HR and payroll systems, such as ADP, Ceridian, Workday, Paychex and UltiPro, to provide automated entry of new hire information into payroll systems of record.
• iApp4Schedule - integrates PeopleMatter SCHEDULE™ with customer point-of-sale (PoS) systems.
• iApp4Learn - integrates PeopleMatter LEARN™ and PeopleMatter ENGAGE™ customer HR records with training completion information, tracking and analyzing the data against employee performance.

"PeopleMatter has a tremendous SaaS success story, and provides a great example of how iON can help hot companies like this realize their full growth potential," said Chris Purpura, vice president of business development and general manager of iON at MuleSoft. "iON gives companies like PeopleMatter best-of-breed integration capabilities, removing the largest friction point for new customer adoption and allowing them to focus on what they do best."
