SuccessFactors is the first company to transfer to the NYSE since Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext shareholders approved the pending combination.

"We welcome SuccessFactors to the community of NYSE Euronext listed companies and applaud its decision to cross list on our European and U.S. markets which underscores the company’s global reach and interests,” said Scott Cutler, NYSE Euronext EVP and Head of Listings, Americas.

We look forward to providing the company with the superior liquidity, services, brand visibility and advocacy outreach associated with listing on NYSE Euronext markets.”

"We are one of the fastest growing companies worldwide and our customers have used our cloud software internationally from day one, operating simultaneously in German, French, English, Japanese and 30 other languages. Listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and NYSE Euronext in Paris is an important step to all of our customers, employees, partners and investors in Europe.”

"This move is a positive sign of SuccessFactors' increased commitment to the European market," said Dr. Norbert Kleinjohann, CIO of Siemens AG. "We chose to work with SuccessFactors based on functionality and usability and the provisioning of an integrated solution."

"SuccessFactors has partnered with large anchor customers in each country in Europe, and for six years, the growth has been and continues to be a key pillar of our success. We are in the middle of a significant European investment, with the aim to serve European customers better than anyone else,” Dalgaard continued.
