Atkins, VA — March 4, 2010 TEDS®, Inc., originator of the fully integrated enterprise-wide Talent Management solution, announced today that Washington and Lee University in Lexington , Virginia has selected TEDS as their new Performance Management system. Implementation of the TEDS Talent Management suite is already underway.
Washington and Lee (W&L) is an internationally recognized university with one of the best student-to-faculty ratios in the United States. The university has two undergraduate divisions and a graduate school of law. The revered Washington and Lee School of Law dates from the University presidency of General Robert E. Lee.
TEDS, Inc is an Atkins, Virginia-based software development and consulting firm that provides talent management software systems and support services for world-class companies and organizations throughout the U.S. and around the world.
W&L will use the TEDS Talent Management System’s Performance Impact™ module to automate, support and enhance their new performance management process. The system will align University and individual goals within the University’s strategic plan to monitor and maximize overall organizational performance.
Along with Performance Impact, the University will use elements of two other modules in the TEDS Talent Management Suite – TEDS RTC Power™ (Roles, Tasks and Competencies) and TEDS Job Vision™ – to underpin their entire performance management process.
“It is critical that the University President and other decision makers have at their fingertips real-time performance data,” said Amy Barnes, W&L’s Executive Director of Human Resources. “We assign, track and evaluate competencies for each career stage. This process would be impossible without the process automation that TEDS provides.”
Ms. Barnes also cited TEDS’ strong compliance management functionality. “The RFP process went very smoothly, our requirements were clearly understood, and the TEDS team was very easy to work with,” said Sherry Wright, Assistant Director for Workforce Development at the university. “We were impressed with the degree and ease of product customization available in the TEDS system.”
David Saacke, the university’s Director of Enterprise Applications praised the implementation flexibility of the TEDS Talent Management System. “We will certainly benefit from the ability to implement various TEDS modules as needed and in the order we need them,” he said. “This capability facilitates our planning for future talent management needs and affords the university significant cost savings.”
“We are very pleased to have been selected by Washington and Lee University to assist them in their continuing quest for excellence through effective performance management,” said Joe Ellis, TEDS President and CEO. “Washington and Lee’s reputation for excellence in higher education is long-standing and continues to grow. We are excited to play a role in maximizing the University’s talent and capabilities through innovative technologies.”
TEDS and W&L have also agreed to work together in the further development of higher education- performance management and related business practices aimed at achieving optimum performance in the university setting.
