API Named Best Time and Attendance Vendor in KLAS Mid-Year Rankings.

HARTFORD, Wis. -- Leading HIT Intelligence Provider Recognizes API as Top Vendor for Healthcare-Specific Time and Attendance Application for Second Year

API Software, Inc. announced today that its Payrollmation(R) product was named the top time and attendance application in the KLAS mid-year rankings of vendor performance. KLAS, the market intelligence leaders known for independent ratings of information systems, releases such rankings twice each year. For the mid-year rankings, API was the time and attendance vendor that received the highest customer satisfaction scores during surveys conducted this spring.

Each year, KLAS publishes a Top 20 Report rating client satisfaction with information technology suppliers. The report, based on extensive surveys of IT executives, identifies the leading supplier in over 20 application areas, including specialty niche products. This category includes everything that does not fit in any of the standard KLAS categories but is software specifically used in healthcare such as nurse scheduling, time and attendance and medication management. In this spring survey, API scored between 15 and 20 percent higher than its competitor in the major categories of primary, detail and business indicators.

"To be named the top time and attendance vendor, API had to get the green light from those who know them best -- their customers," said Adam Gale, KLAS Vice President.

Payrollmation automates and simplifies the time and attendance data collection and calculation process, streamlines time card management, improves employee morale and helps the organization to control labor costs.

"Our clients continue to keep our KLAS scores high because they continue to be satisfied with the products and services API brings to the healthcare market," said Luis Garcia, API president and CEO. "We believe that it is our dedication to the healthcare industry, and our commitment to offering the latest technology available that has kept us at the top of the time and attendance ranking for the past two years."
