Human Resources: Growing Healthcare Organization Selects Ultimate Software's Core UltiPro

WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 18, 2007--Ultimate Software
(Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human
resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, announced today
that Oakdale Heights Management Corporation, a healthcare company that
offers a full spectrum of care ranging from freestanding Alzheimer's
and assisted living homes to continuing care retirement communities,
chose Ultimate Software's core UltiPro solution and UltiPro Time and
Attendance in June 2007.

In the four years before selecting UltiPro, the healthcare
provider had tripled in size and had expanded its operations from just
within California to eight additional states. With more than 1,600
employees in 24 locations, Oakdale Heights had outgrown the service
bureau it had been using and spent over a year evaluating vendors in
search of the right solution. The Oakdale Heights team selected
UltiPro for such features as:

    -- Web access for managers and executives,

    -- integrated human resources, benefits administration, and
        payroll functionality, with comprehensive time and labor
        features, and

    -- Ultimate Software's track record for high-quality customer
        support.

A key objective of the Oakdale Heights' HR team was to reduce its
administrative workload by automating and streamlining processes. The
team wanted to "go green" and further reduce time-consuming manual
processes by moving beyond basic self-service and transitioning from
paper to electronic transactions and decision-making using automated
workflow and electronic approval processes.

"Considering our larger workforce and the amount of paper required
for something like a wage increase, the time my team had to devote to
tactical activities was getting out of control. Everyone is excited
about the increased automation we expect with UltiPro so that we can
focus more on our key organizational objective to hire and keep the
best people rather than spend our workday moving paper," said Dena
Platz, director of human resources for Oakdale Heights Management
Corporation.

According to Platz, another reason Oakdale Heights selected
Ultimate Software was the flexibility of the time and attendance
solution. UltiPro Time and Attendance delivers a comprehensive set of
time and leave-management capabilities that Platz plans to use to
schedule and manage attendance more effectively.

Although the quality of Ultimate Software's HR, payroll, and time
and attendance feature sets was important to Platz, she and the HRMS
selection team believed that customer service was even more critical.
They thoroughly investigated Ultimate Software's customer support
certifications, awards, and procedures in addition to speaking with a
number of UltiPro users about Ultimate Software's customer service
track record.

"Being in human resources, I was impressed that Ultimate Software
was at the top of the Best Companies to Work for list that is compiled
by The Great Place to Work Institute," said Platz. "It struck me that
Ultimate Software's culture was in line with ours in terms of valuing
people and that people who are valued deliver the best customer
services."

"We welcome Oakdale Heights to our growing list of healthcare
customers. We're pleased to see the similarities in our 'people-first'
cultures," said Greg Swick, senior vice president of Ultimate
Software. "Like Oakdale Heights, we believe committed employees
contribute to our high quality products and services."
