is fully integrated with the organizational metrics. It provides greater flexibility, tracking, and
access of performance management to large number of employees and managers across the
organization, across the world at the press of a button. Bititci et al. (2000) point out that the main
benefit of using an IT platform for managing the performance management within an organization
