of workforce
management and
expense management software and services, today announced that Robert
E. Farina, chief executive officer, has been named a finalist for the Ernst

According to Ernst & Young LLP, the awards program recognizes entrepreneurs
who demonstrate extraordinary success in the areas of innovation, financial
performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.
Farina, who joined CyberShift as CEO in 2002, was the driving force behind
the re-development and positioning of the company's products to provide
identical software solutions in both traditional license fee and
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models, targeted to meet the needs of complex
organizations. Under his direction, the company has evolved into a category
leader for providing Software-as-a-Service workforce and expense management
software, and its client list has grown to more than 600 organizations in
North America and Europe.
"I am honored to be nominated for such a prestigious award and to be
acknowledged for my career in building several strong businesses and for
the success that we have had thus far at CyberShift, where we are committed
to providing solutions that enable organizations to effectively manage
their top two controllable business costs: labor and employee business
expenses. Always a top priority, controlling costs and optimizing
productivity are critical in the current economy, making our SaaS-based
solutions even more in demand," commented Farina.

23rd anniversary this year. The program has expanded to recognize business
leaders in over 135 cities in 50 countries throughout the world. The award
