Plateau Systems was a pioneer in enterprise learning management systems (LMS) and SaaS talent management suites. The platform provided large organizations and government agencies with tools for employee training, performance evaluations, compensation planning, and succession management. By connecting learning outcomes directly to corporate performance goals, Plateau enabled enterprises to optimize workforce skills and compliance tracking. The company was acquired by SuccessFactors in 2011 and integrated into SAP SuccessFactors.
Plateau Systems was founded in 1996 in Arlington, Virginia, by Paul Sparta and Brad Cooper. Recognizing that enterprise HR departments lacked scalable digital systems to manage workforce training and skill gaps, they created one of the industry's first cloud-capable Learning Management Systems (LMS). The founders scaled Plateau into a dominant talent management platform until its $290 million acquisition by SuccessFactors in 2011.
