SumTotal® Systems, LLC, a global leader in Strategic Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, today announced it was the recipient of three "Excellence in Technology" awards from analyst Brandon Hall Group, Inc.

SumTotal earned honors in three categories:

SumTotal was among two companies recognized for integrated talent management, earning a silver award. It was recognized for workforce analytics and planning and earned a bronze award. Brandon Hall recognized six companies for advances in SMB learning management, awarding SumTotal a bronze.

According to a news release from Brandon Hall, a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts and Brandon Hall's senior analysts and executive leadership evaluated the entries based upon the following criteria:
