Other new customers include the world's leading multi-brand interactive commerce network.

The first half of 2008 also witnessed Workscape's successful renewal of many OBA contracts, as well as a number of expanded service agreements with existing clients, such as a company that develops and manufactures information technologies; a leading global healthcare products company; and the operator of two of the world's largest rental car providers.

Organizations signing on in 2008 to use Workscape's award-winning talent management offerings are Cisco and a worldwide diversified entertainment company.

New Alliances, Product Enhancements Drive Growth

Workscape has released several product enhancements and upgrades since the beginning of the year. These include a new version of its award-winning talent management suite -- which has garnered 92% customer adoption on the SaaS (software-as-a-service) delivery model -- adding GroupManager functionality, as well as enhanced compensation planning productivity through an updated Adobe Flex-based user interface. The company also released new versions of its enterprise Compensation Planner and Performance Manager talent management solutions, which enable tighter integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) companies like SAP, Oracle/PeopleSoft and Lawson.

In June, Workscape announced an alliance with ConnectYourCare, a top-ranked Consumer-Directed Healthcare (CDH) account platform provider, to offer the first integrated CDH benefits platform in the marketplace. By incorporating ConnectYourCare's CDH administration technology into Workscape's existing benefits platform, large employers can continue to use their own health plans for claims processing, while providing a superior customer experience for health-related service point-of-purchase ease and flexibility.

Strategic Additions for Fast-Growing Company

As Workscape continues to take advantage of the ever-increasing market demand for its solutions, several new professionals joined Workscape between January and June 2008. They include: Tony Marzulli, Chief Marketing Officer; John Miele, Vice President of Service Operations for the OBA Business Unit; and Chris O'Grady, Vice President of Sales for the Talent Management Unit. The company will look to these leaders to build on the momentum achieved in 2007 and the first half of 2008.

"Workscape remains focused on being responsive to our clients' HR and business needs to make 2008 another year of exceptional innovation and profitable growth," said Tim Clifford, president and CEO of Workscape. "Our new clients, as well as our existing clients who have renewed or expanded their relationships with us, are further validation of our approach and the value our outsourced benefits administration and talent management solutions deliver. As Workscape celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2009, we are well positioned to garner an even greater percentage of the HR applications market that, according to industry analysts, will grow to $8.8 billion next year."
