Taleo, a provider of on-demand talent management solutions, and Cast Iron Systems, a software-as-a-service , “SaaS (News - Alert),” and cloud integration company, announced a partnership to offer fast, flexible data migrations from various on-premise applications to Taleo Business Edition's on-demand recruiting and performance management solutions.

 

These solutions benefit small and medium-sized customers to better leverage their investments in talent management.

 

As part of this development, both companies performed several successful real-time integrations between Taleo Business Edition and proprietary customer applications. They include several hundred migrations from both replacement transactions and customers via acquisitions.

 

Apart from these, Taleo and Cast Iron Systems have also powered real-time integrations with on-demand solutions like Salesforce and on-site enterprise systems like PeopleSoft.

 

Some of the joint customers of this integration program include BELL, Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Gallagher, among others. BELL, an educational program provider, is using the Cast Iron Cloud to synchronize candidate status data in Taleo Business Edition Recruit with assignment information in Salesforce CRM.

Pete Capraro, director of IT at BELL said that the company recognizes the critical role integration would play in the successful deployment of the company’s new cloud-based IT infrastructure.

BELL needed a robust solution to integrate data between Taleo, Salesforce and Moodle – their learning management system. “With thousands of customer integrations already in production, Cast Iron was the obvious choice for integrating Taleo with our custom applications,” Capraro said.

According to Jason Blessing, group vice president at Taleo, migration and integration projects in the past had been somewhat difficult due to their complexity. Now Cast Iron offers the pre-built connectivity and the flexibility to deliver migration and integration in the cloud.

“Cast Iron empowers us to offer migration as a service to our customers and accelerates the adoption of our talent management solutions,” Blessing said. “Our customers now quickly realize the full potential of their investment in Taleo by rapidly leveraging their historical applicant information.”

As the demand for the rapid deployment of SaaS applications increases, companies like Taleo are recognizing that data migration and application integration are key to the swift on-boarding of new customers, said Ken Comée, chief executive officer of Cast Iron Systems.

Cast Iron Systems recentlyannounced that it is leveraging Amazon Web Services (News - Alert), or “AWS,” to offer customers a faster way to move enterprise applications to the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as “Amazon EC2.” The combination of Cast Iron and AWS give customers the ability to benefit from cloud services as quickly as possible.
