RedPrairie augmented its already industry-leading intellectual capital in workforce management by announcing last week at RedConnect:2006 the appointment of industry veterans Jim Hoefflin as Senior Vice President of its Workforce Management Group, and John Murphy A number of people have been named John Murphy
