Why SumTotal

No one wants to be human capital It’s time for something different.


Does anyone really believe that human capital management engages people and shows them how to be their best? We don’t. Discover and unleash the hidden talent within your organization and the possibilities are endless.

Talent Expansion™ - because talent is boundless

How SumTotal is Different

  1. We put people at the center.
  2. Your people aren’t capital; they want to be great at their jobs not just shuffle a process along. Our roots are in learning and that’s what makes us unique. We put talent development right in the center of all our solutions so your people can be better at their jobs – while they are doing their jobs. As they grow and succeed, so will your organization.

  3. We focus exclusively on HR.
  4. We have nearly 30 years’ experience helping our customers create great places to work. We are currently the largest independent HR vendor in the industry with global scale and reach. We are first in market share in Learning and third in Talent Management behind the two biggest ERP companies in the world. Many of the world's "Greatest Places to Work" turn to SumTotal for Workforce, Payroll and Expense Management.

  5. We have everything you need.
  6. With SumTotal Talent, SumTotal Learn and SumTotal Work, HR can find everything it needs in one place, designed to function as one application, or as best in breed applications. We’re mobile and social, too.

  7. We create harmony not disruption.
  8. Multiple HR systems are a reality so we design our solutions to fit with the infrastructure you already have, so you don’t have to rip and replace existing solutions to get the job done. We integrate easily with popular third-party and cloud applications your people already use, and those they will always use no matter what you tell them – like spreadsheets.

  1. We get you answers today.
  2. Workforce analytics and workforce planning are no longer optional. We embedded both in our elixHR™ Platform so you can see immediate value. And with elixHR, you can pull together all your data virtually, no matter where it is. You get answers today – not 18 months after an HRMS consolidation, which is what other vendors might be telling you.

  3. We give you deployment choices no one else does.
  4. We offer SaaS because it’s a great fit for many people, but we know a hosted or on-premise solution works better for some. What we care about is that you get the deployment option that works best for you. We are the only vendor to offer all three options; SaaS, Hosted or On-Premise.

  5. We make it easy to start.
  6. We don’t try to force you into buying everything from us. Start with one solution and see how we do.

  7. We put our money where our mouth is.
  8. Anyone can say they care about customer satisfaction. At SumTotal, every employee at the company is evaluated and rewarded based on customer success. We have evolved a business model built to create sustainable, long-term value for our customers which includes unique approaches in Services, Support and Account Management.
