LIVONIA, MI and FRISCO, TX--(Marketwire - Oct 8, 2012) - WorkForce Software, the leading provider of workforce management solutions for organizations with complex labor policies and stringent compliance demands, today announced that HRchitect, one of the premier providers of HR systems strategic consulting services, has earned WorkForce Software's "EmpCenter Certified" designation.

Based on rapid growth and market adoption of WorkForce Software's EmpCenter workforce management platform, the "EmpCenter Certified" program was developed to provide systems integrators and other similar organizations with an in-depth understanding of the solution, its components, and how they can be best configured to address today's most pressing workforce management challenges and opportunities within client organizations.

"Since the first iteration of the EmpCenter platform in 1999, we have concentrated on addressing the complex, strategic needs of large enterprise clients," said Kevin Choksi, Co-founder and CEO of WorkForce Software. "This functionality is in greater demand and, as a result, more organizations are turning toward our unique approach of addressing their day-to-day business and compliance needs. Through the establishment of this certification program, and through the focused efforts of strategic partners such as HRchitect, we can provide greater coverage to the marketplace while simultaneously maintaining our focus on exceptional client satisfaction."

As a full-service HR technology consulting and advisory organization, HRchitect is afforded a unique view of the marketplace, helping clients to both identify and address staff-related issues at both a strategic and tactical level. Noting a marked increase in requests seeking guidance on workforce management and related issues, HRchitect saw an opportunity to extend their portfolio by adding WorkForce Software implementation services.

"WorkForce Software offers a unique approach to addressing the strategic workforce management issues our clients wrestle with today," said Matt Lafata, President of HRchitect. "We're proud to be among the first organizations to officially earn EmpCenter Certification and look forward to providing this exceptional platform to our clients."
