WALNUT CREEK, Calif. (August 28, 2007) –

WHO:             Emportal, a human capital management company providing a next-generation enterprise human resource management system (HRMS) platform built with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services that integrates with and aggregates existing system investments and best-of-breed HR point-solutions

WHAT:           Kevin Grauman, Chairman and Co-Founder of Emportal, will participate in a panel of previous Inc. 500 #1 companies at the Inc. 500 Conference and Awards Ceremony.

WHEN:           Inside the Mind of a #1 Company, a panel featuring CEOs from past Inc. 500 #1 companies, will be held Friday, September 7, 2007 from 10:45 – 11:45 am

WHERE:         Hilton Chicago, 720 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago

DETAILS:      For more than 25 years, Inc. magazine has celebrated the remarkable achievements of today’s entrepreneurial superstars – the men and women leading the 500 fastest-growing, private companies in America – with the annual Inc. 500 list. Each year, the Inc. 500 Conference and Awards Ceremony brings together both a new class of Inc. 500 honorees and the list’s alumni for three days of powerful networking, inspired learning and momentous celebration.
 
During the Inc. 500 Conference, Grauman will join other CEOs from Inc. 500 companies to discuss what it takes to be a top performing company. As a self-described “serial entrepreneur” who has founded, built and sold three successful human resources ventures in the U.S., Grauman provides a unique perspective on creating resources that fill voids in the HR industry. Together with another industry pioneer, Grauman co-founded Emportal to change the paradigm for deploying, utilizing and integrating enterprise software, initially within the workforce management domain. His previous venture, The Outsource Group (TOG), was ranked #1 on the Inc. 500 list as America’s fastest growing company in 2001-2002. In 2005, Grauman sold TOG to a portfolio company of private equity firm General Atlantic Partners, TriNet.

Grauman was acknowledged in November 2002 by HRO Today as one of the “100 Superstars of HR Outsourcing in the USA.” He also received the Ernst & Young 2005 Entrepreneur of the Year award in the Business Services Category, and he was recognized in Kingston’s 2002 registry of “Who’s Who in America.”
