Human Resources: Leading Beverage Company Reduces ``Time to Hire'' by 50 Percent with UltiPro Recruitment

   WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 15, 2007--Ultimate Software
(Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human
resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, announced today
that its customer Silver Eagle Distributors, L.P., the largest
Anheuser-Busch distributor in the nation, has cut its "time to hire"
in half with Ultimate Software's UltiPro Recruitment.

   Silver Eagle's HR team had been manually processing 300 to 500 job
applications each week before the company went "live" on Ultimate
Software's UltiPro Recruitment in 2005. An Ultimate Software customer
since 1997 using core UltiPro to manage its HR, benefits, and payroll
functions, Silver Eagle selected Ultimate Software's talent
acquisition solution because the beverage distributor had years of
history with Ultimate Software's quality product and services. Since
going live with UltiPro Recruitment through Intersourcing, Silver
Eagle is experiencing business benefits such as:

   -- reduced time to hire

   -- expedited identification of qualified candidates

   -- streamlined applicant tracking and automated conversion of
        hired candidates into core UltiPro as new hires

   When Silver Eagle was processing applications manually before
using UltiPro's talent acquisition feature set, the HR team received
an application, logged the information into a spreadsheet, and then
placed the resume into one of the stacks organized by location. Yvonne
Pieprzyca, Silver Eagle's recruiter, had to read through each one,
dispose of the duplicates, and determine the appropriate course of
action. The entire time-to-hire process would typically take several
months. With UltiPro Recruitment, Pieprzyca has reduced the company's
time to hire by more than half.

   "When I first saw a demonstration of UltiPro Recruitment, I knew
we had to have it. Since I receive 60 to 100 resumes each workday, the
recruitment process before UltiPro was absolutely overwhelming," said
Pieprzyca. "Now hiring managers create job requisitions online that
are posted soon after being automatically routed through multiple
approvers. Applicants complete assessments via the Internet. UltiPro
then scores them and points me to the best people for the openings.
UltiPro Recruitment has transformed my ability to help Silver Eagle
get the best candidates as fast as possible."

   Since many of Silver Eagle's applicants are responding to
positions that involve driving and particular types of driver's
licenses, there are guidelines that the company follows to help ensure
it hires the safest, most competent drivers. To narrow the field of
applicants, Pieprzyca uses screening questions built into UltiPro
Recruitment that provide historical information, such as driving
records, about the candidates.

   "Based on the job's requirements, candidates complete an
assessment in UltiPro," said Pieprzyca. "In addition to helping me
easily determine the best person to interview, the scores are visible
to applicants so they can see whether they are a good fit for the
position. With the number of applicants we manage, the online
assessment has provided a tremendous source of efficiency and value."

   Managing tens of thousands of applicants each year can be
difficult, but with UltiPro Recruitment, Pieprzyca can keep them
organized and immediately accessible in one database. Many applicants
apply for multiple jobs at Silver Eagle, or they may apply for the
same job more than once. With UltiPro, Pieprzyca can filter duplicates
faster than before and match good candidates who applied for other
jobs for alternate open positions.

   "Sometimes we have an open job that fits the background of someone
who has previously applied with Silver Eagle for a different
position," said Pieprzyca. "With UltiPro, I can readily find and
contact them to see if they are interested in the other position that
they may not have noticed. This is a quick way for me to fill
positions without waiting for a new set of appropriate resumes."

   "By streamlining recruiting and moving the process to the Internet
with UltiPro, businesses can increase their pool of qualified
candidates and manage talent acquisition more effectively as Silver
Eagle has done," said Greg Swick, senior vice president of sales for
Ultimate Software. "Silver Eagle's recruiting team has done a great
job using the capabilities of UltiPro Recruitment for the betterment
of the business."
