System Patent Protection in North America with U.S.

and Canadian Approvals

CyberShift, Inc., a provider of workforce management software and services, today announced it has been awarded patent protection in Canada for its approach to delivering time and attendance systems over the Web using a multi-tier architecture. CyberShift was initially granted a U.S. patent in November 2001 for its innovative technical architecture, leading the workforce management market in developing a true Web-based solution for large, complex organizations.

Valid for 20 years, the patent will enable CyberShift to continue to deliver Fortune 1,000 clients with a superior approach to meeting time and attendance requirements using the flexibility and speed of the Internet. The company has combined its patent approach to time and attendance with the scalability of a J2EE technology infrastructure in its third-generation product, the CyberShift Workforce Management Suite(TM). Designed for large commercial businesses and public organizations with complex user requirements, the rules-based platform arms decision-makers with real-time employee data needed to streamline work processes, improve scheduling, minimize overtime among hourly workers, eliminate payroll errors and provide accurate job-costing and overall cost-saving advantages.

"As a company driven by technical advancement, we are always seeking ways to improve our product offering and provide customers with the necessary tools to better monitor and manage worker productivity and performance, increase revenues and achieve a competitive edge," said Robert Farina, CEO of CyberShift. "The Canadian patent validates our superior technology innovation and the underlying infrastructure driving the CyberShift Workforce Management Suite."

CyberShift's multi-tier computing architecture permits unlimited horizontal and vertical scalability and an open integration platform that is not only optimal for use over the Web, but collects time and attendance data through a variety of input devices and methods. This flexible and powerful architecture serves to provide customers greater flexibility and choice when determining their time management strategy and processes.

"CyberShift's expertise in time and attendance software and services is not only evident in its advanced product offering, but in the company's ability to provide a comprehensive solution that address the unique requirements of Canada's largest public library employing more than 2,600 diverse workers," said Dan Keon, the Toronto Public Library's Human Resource Director. "CyberShift's patented architecture enables the time and attendance system to interface with TPL's payroll and HR applications to create a best-of-breed solution that generates significant business value."
