Workscape's New SaaS-Based HR Express Offering Answers Mid-Market Companies' Need for Comprehensive HR Solution

MARLBOROUGH, MA--(Marketwire - October 8, 2008) - Workscape, Inc., a leading provider of outsourced benefits and talent management solutions, today announced details of its latest offering, Workscape HR Express, which combines all HR-related information and activities into a Web-based, single-point of access solution.

Workscape HR Express builds on Workscape's demonstrated expertise in developing and deploying portal, talent management and outsourced benefits administration solutions. This new offering is specifically designed to meet the distinct requirements of organizations that employ 1,000 to 5,000 employees. Workscape HR Express provides a single resource for all health, welfare, finance and career planning content. Through single sign-on, employees and managers are provided seamless access from the HR Central portal to all HR related applications and communications. Packaged for rapid deployment, companies can begin realizing the benefits of the solution within a matter of weeks.

Workscape's Chief Marketing Officer, Tony Marzulli, commented, "The market is clamoring for a single provider that can deliver both benefits and talent management solutions without the 'heavy lifting' or proprietary engagements often associated with similar offerings from ERP providers or large consultancy groups. Workscape HR Express is for those mid-sized organizations that are looking to drive greater consistency of processes across the business, as well as increase efficiency and reduce costs in the delivery of the entire spectrum of HR services."

Workscape HR Express combines a common technology platform across its four integrated solutions: Outsourced Benefits Administration (OBA) Express, Workscape Performance and Compensation Express, and Workscape HR Central with a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based delivery model. As a result, organizations can reduce costs and minimize workload while delivering robust functionality to HR teams and the managers and employees they support.

Workscape's newly announced OBA Express delivers world-class enrollment and eligibility solutions that empower employees to make informed, comprehensive decisions regarding benefits coverage and costs, thereby improving employee engagement. With Workscape Performance Express, employee objectives are aligned with organizational objectives driving higher levels of organizational performance and employee retention. When Performance Express is linked to Workscape's compensation planning solution, driving performance-based compensation is easy, while at the same time reducing planning cycle times, driving program consistency and compliance, and reducing costs. Finally, with Workscape HR Central, HR professionals can aggregate all HR-related data from multiple sources and present it back to the employee via a simple, easy-to-use, easy-to-configure online communication and integration platform.

"All of our solutions are provided through a reliable SaaS-based hosted environment and will fit within virtually any existing IT infrastructure. We offer employers the best of both worlds -- industry-leading technology from a single provider and the ability to select best-in-breed solutions to deliver vital HR services," continued Marzulli. "Workscape HR Express reduces the cost of HR administration, increases efficiency and improves employee retention and satisfaction."

Workscape's latest portal, talent management and OBA solutions have been specifically designed and configured to meet accelerated implementation timetables and are available at a price point that is better aligned for organizations employing 1,000 - 5,000 workers. Furthermore, the ability to deliver these critical offerings in a unified way parallels the market's increased demand for total compensation statements. With the new Workscape HR Express offering, mid-sized companies now have access to the deep experience, robust functionality and proven solutions that Workscape has provided larger clients for nearly a decade.

Workscape will demonstrate HR Express and its other solutions in Booth No. 701 at the upcoming HR Technology Conference, being held in Chicago from October 15 - 17, 2008.
