Remember the McDonald’s signs with their OVER ## BILLION SERVED messages? Today—at Taleo WORLD 2008—we announced the processing of our 100 millionth candidate. Since 1999, our customers have been relying on software as a service (SaaS) technology to process their talent from career sites to job sites.

This is a milestone for talent management and also for the on demand technology space. What was once considered a new and evolving technology has now been proven to deliver 99.9% reliability and 95% satisfaction while serving more than 2,500,000 users in complex global corporations and small local businesses worldwide.

And, When the Solution is a Service Everyone Wins, including the environment. Consider this: By eliminating one envelope, cover letter, and single-page resume per application, organizations that used Taleo in 2007 saved more than 8,250 trees. In fact, since 1999, Taleo customers worldwide have gone green and saved more than 36,000 trees by replacing traditional paper processes with automation.
