PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - June 26, 2008) - CyberShift, a
leading global provider of workforce
management and expense
management software and services, today announced that it has won
START-IT's prestigious 2008 Power of Partnerships Award for its partnership
with Ellington, Conn.-based Accu-Time
Systems, Inc. (ATS), the leading manufacturer of workforce management,
time and attendance, and security access products. CyberShift and ATS were
the winners in the category of 'Technology Provider with Technology
Provider.' This year's winners were announced at START-IT's Technology &
Business Awards Dinner and Ceremony held on June 24, 2008 at the Westin
Chicago North Shore Hotel in Wheeling, Ill.
The START-IT Power of Partnerships Awards pays tribute to companies who
have partnered together in an effort to create a unified approach to
solving a challenge or creating a business opportunity. Through the
partnerships, companies have created a unique customer-facing strategy that
has enabled them to better service their mutual customers.
Recognizing that workforce management involves more than employees clocking
in and clocking out, CyberShift and ATS formed a partnership to help
organizations eliminate the tedious, costly and often error-prone manual
processes of managing paper associated with employee time and attendance
and scheduling management. The essence of the partnership involves the
integration of CyberShift's Workforce Management 3G™ workforce
management software and ATS' data collection terminals.
The combined solutions allow the time capture transaction to be transported
and linked to the workforce management solution and ultimately to payroll.
CyberShift's automated workforce management solution, together with ATS'
biometric and non-biometric workforce management tools, enables
organizations to streamline processes and capture accurate recording of
time and attendance transactions related to tasks, jobs, roles and
responsibilities. In addition to strategically managing the information
associated with time processing, organizations gain control over the audit
process, a critical requirement of Sarbanes-Oxley Legislation.
"Each year we continue to be impressed by the resourceful and compelling
partnerships that result in better customer service and go-to-market
strategies for manufacturers," said, Peggy Smedley, editorial director of
START-IT. "CyberShift and ATS exemplify the value of combining two
leading-edge technology solutions to help mutual customers solve a business
issue and outpace the competition. START-IT congratulates CyberShift and
ATS for their collaborative and forward-thinking partnership," added
Smedley.
ATS' Founder & CEO, Peter DiMaria, said, "ATS is dedicated to supplying
world-class quality products and services to best serve the needs of our
customers and as such we are proud to work with CyberShift to deliver a
more sensible, accurate, cost-effective tool for the strategic management
of the information associated with time capture and processing. We are
pleased that START-IT has recognized the value of our product and our
cooperative partnership."
"Alliances with best-of-breed vendors such as ATS enable CyberShift to
offer value-added products that support our mutual customers' workforce
management requirements. The combination of CyberShift with ATS helps
manufacturers further streamline business processes and lower costs," said
Robert Farina, CEO of CyberShift. "It is an honor to win START-IT's Power
of Partnership Award for the second time."
Earlier this year, CyberShift was honored by START-IT magazine as one of
the START-IT 125, a list of the top manufacturing technology providers, and
"Hottest Companies" serving the manufacturing industry.
