Workforce Performance Management, a methodology and process for maximizing the value of human capital assets to increase business performance, continues to evolve as a result of recent market consolidation. Two software segments supporting Workforce Performance Management (WPM)--enterprise learning management systems (ELMS), and enterprise compensation and incentive management (ECIM)--saw the elimination of two vendors. This shows the immaturity of the market. Companies that want to improve the value of human capital assets by coordinating and leveraging their workforce for maximum performance should work to expand beyond the near term silo-ed software market consolidation.
