Halogen Software Continues Strong Performance with a Focus on Innovation and Client Needs

OTTAWA ­ August 31, 2009 ­ Halogen Software Inc., a leading provider of
on-line talent management software announced that revenue during the second
quarter of 2009 continued its historically strong growth. Halogen achieved
52 percent year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue. This strong
growth is marked by the company¹s commitment to providing a world-class
customer experience and its consistent delivery of best to market solutions.

Just a few of the new customers that joined Halogen during the second
quarter of 2009 include: Anchor QEA, Atheros Communications, Community
Health Center, I2U Solutions SDN BHD, Iogen Corporation, K&N Management,
Northern Arizona Healthcare Corporation, Northern Credit Union, NorthStar
Financial Services, Rocky Mountain Health Management Corporation, St.
Joseph's Health Centre, and Vermont Electric Cooperative.

³Halogen has provided us with brilliant support from day one and we have
great faith in the company¹s ability to consistently and effectively provide
us with a world-class user experience,² said Alyson Young, HR Director at
K&N Management. ³Without this level of service even the greatest solution
with all the bells and whistles would be of little use to our organization.²

Halogen¹s dedication to providing great value and addressing the specific
talent management needs of its clients has been demonstrated in its launch
of two industry-first features at the SHRM Conference in June ­ the Halogen
Talent Profile feature and Activity Tracker. Both are designed to help HR
with real-world issues they face in the deployment and ongoing
administration of their talent management systems.

With the first customizable Talent Profile, Halogen helps solve low usage,
limited security, and flexibility problems associated with conventional
employee profiles. Halogen¹s Activity Tracker provides the industry¹s first
consolidated real-time ³status update² feed of all talent management
activity for users of the system. Using a familiar social networking
interface, the feature is built to drive user adoption of talent management
within the organization and deliver time savings for HR, management and
employees. Both the Talent Profile solution and Activity Tracker feature
will be delivered at no additional cost, fully integrated with Halogen¹s
talent management suite 9.1, currently scheduled for release in September.

In addition to these unique features, Halogen teamed with an industry
leader, SkillSoft, announcing an agreement to deliver 10 SkillSoft
e-learning courses as a standard component of Halogen eLearning Manager�.
The agreement provides outstanding value to corporate learning centers and a
truly seamless user experience for performance-based e-learning.

Each of these milestone product innovations has been well received by
industry analysts and customers.
