The following statement is incorrect :"SAP SuccessFactors Agent Performance Management --> Formerly known as ProducerPro Enterprise(ICM)"

SAP SuccessFactors Agent Performance Management was previously named Agent Performance Management, enterprise edition.  It was also previously marketed as ICM.

ALM and APM do share a common code base that allows the products to share functionality.
