[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]SilkRoad, a leading global provider of cloud-based social talent management software, announced today that it has broadened its footprint across Asia-Pacific-Japan (APJ), adding a significant number of new clients from China in the North to New Zealand in the South. Youku and Jebson Group of China, Wacom Global and Credit Saison of Japan and TrustPower of New Zealand join the list of enterprises using SilkRoad's innovative Life Suite® of integrated talent management solutions to engage employees from pre-hire to retire.

“SilkRoad's recent success in Asia is due in large part to a growing need for 21st Century talent management solutions that deliver mobile, employee-centric capabilities to address the challenges of a modern workforce,” said Flip Filipowski, CEO of SilkRoad Technology. “As businesses in the region evolve to compete on a global scale, they need to move away from manual paper processes to an automated, socially-driven strategy.”

SilkRoad China was recently recognized as a leading innovator by being named the “Most Promising HR Service Provider of the Year” by China Staff Awards, an influential recognition in China's HR community. SilkRoad is the only talent management provider that has been awarded this honor in the China market.

“We‘re expanding in China because we have innovative solutions, but equally important are the investments we’ve made across our service teams to support our growing customer base,” said Johnny Wang, Managing Director of SilkRoad Greater China. “It's the smartest combination for ensuring the long-term success of our customers.”
