Proofpoint Systems, Inc. is a provider of software, systems, and programs that support individual and organizational performance. Based in Silicon Valley (Los Altos, California) and founded in 2003 by Jim Hill, Proofpoint Systems developed the first browser-based performance analysis software systems.
Proofpoint Systems has research and development facilities in Denver, Colorado, as well as sales offices in Phoenix, Arizona and Washington, D.C.
Proofpoint Systems was founded in 2003 by Jim Hill, a retired United States Marine Corps officer and former Sun Microsystems executive. In the same year, Proofpoint secured contracts with the United States Navy, resulting an International Society for Performance Improvement award in 2005.
The patent for Proofpoint Systems' performance analysis support system (PASS) was filed on April 5, 2006 and published on October 25, 2007. PASS operates by guiding a user through a "detailed, consistent analysis process... helping organizational leaders accurately diagnose critical performance or productivity issues".
Proofpoint's first product, Comprehensive Performance Analysis Support System (ComPASS), was later developed as a web-based organizational analysis system for management consulting engagements. In 2006, ComPASS was a finalist for the Stevie Awards in the category of best new product or service. In the same year, Proofpoint Systems was awarded with United States Navy contracts to support strategic planning of manpower, training, and education.
Proofpoint offers other products and services including: strategic planning, goal development, web based diagnostics and assessment.
