Ceridian and Softscape Achieve Significant Customer Momentum with Combined Human Resource Solutions.

NEW ORLEANS -- Customers Recognize Need for Strategic HR Technology Demonstrating Pent-Up Demand for Integrated HCM Suite Offering

Ceridian, a leader in managed human resource solutions that maximize the value of people, and Softscape, an industry leader in web-based human capital management (HCM) and case management solutions, today announce a strong response from Ceridian's customers for Softscape's integrated HCM suite in just the first quarter of the Ceridian and Softscape relationship. Recent new customers, including Allied Building Products Corp., Handleman Company, and Westfield Corporation, Inc., will deploy Softscape's HCM suite in conjunction with Ceridian's HR/payroll solution to better align their human capital with business needs.

Mark Albrecht, senior vice president of human resources and organizational development at Handleman Company stated: "Ceridian's relationship with Softscape was a key factor in our decision to move forward with Ceridian's Web HR/Payroll, Self- Service and Recruiting solution. For many years Handleman Company has made it a priority to achieve a performance-driven culture, but we lacked access to powerful tools to manage the process. The combined Ceridian/Softscape solution will position Handleman to effectively achieve our Workplace of the Future today and meet our goals of attracting, training, retaining and rewarding top performers."

Through the relationship with Softscape, Ceridian continues to differentiate itself in a rapidly evolving HR outsourcing market by providing a complete set of technology process optimization and managed human resource services. Softscape has further established itself as a clear leader in the HCM market by bringing together the benefits of a truly integrated suite with all the components for strategic human capital management.

"When we began partnering with Softscape, we knew that the mid-market was ready to adopt the HCM methodology into their business," said Pat Goepel, executive vice president at Ceridian U.S. Human Resource Solutions. "The speed at which our customers are moving forward reflects just how valuable the integration of our HR solutions with human capital management is today as companies look for ways to put more emphasis on performance and productivity improvements with their workforce."

Christopher Faust, vice president of global strategy added: "Truly integrating the key employee lifecycle processes into a single HCM suite provides customers with a strategic platform to impact organizational growth. No other HCM suite vendor can offer our breadth of functionality or depth of features in a fully integrated platform. Softscape's proven HCM suite provides both our Fortune 500 clients as well as Ceridian's mid-market customers all the benefits of this tight integration, in a flexible and easy to deploy package."
