Halogen Announces Record Year

Company Solidifies Leadership Position, Secures Strategic Wins Over Competition
OTTAWA, ON – February 12, 2008 – Halogen Software Inc., a leading provider
of web-based employee performance and talent management software, today
announced that 2007 marked another record year in sales with 60 percent
year-over-year growth. The fourth quarter of 2007, included record revenue
with the company closing nearly 200 deals. Halogen's proven ability to deliver
an offering that provides enterprise-level functionality to organizations of all
sizes, as well as an unique "On-Choice" deployment model has established
Halogen as the solution of choice. 

The employee performance and talent management market is growing rapidly,
with a recent market study from Bersin & Associates valuing the talent
management market at an estimated $2.8 Billion in 2008. Halogen's growth
continues to outpace even the rapid growth of this market segment due to
the company's focus on highly powerful, flexible and affordable employee
performance and talent management applications. The company continues to
build on its momentum in the industry securing its leadership position by
winning nearly 200 deals and 200,000 seats in 2007 in competitive
opportunities over its largest competitor, SuccessFactors.

Staying Informed with Halogen
One of Halogen's newest customers, comScore, Inc., with nearly 900 clients,
is a global leader in measuring the digital world. comScore analysts apply a
deep industry knowledge to help clients design powerful strategies for their
online marketing programs. To maximize this human capital expertise, the
organization recognizes the need for an enterprise-level employee
performance and talent management solution.

"With a geographically dispersed workforce, a paper-based process was
cumbersome. We looked for an online system that would enable our
employees to complete their appraisals wherever they are and make sure the
process is consistent across all locations," said Glenn Krauser, Sr. Vice
President of Human Capital with comScore. "In the end, Halogen gave us the
functionality we need and enables us to maintain the same process and forms
our employees are familiar with. As we introduce changes to the forms or
process, we will depend on the Halogen system to implement them."

The addition of industry-specific solutions for financial services and
professional services to Halogen's product family, as well as Halogen's long-
standing and successful healthcare solution, contributed to the company's
growth this past year.  Customers in these verticals rose by over 60 percent
year-over-year.

Delivering Enterprise-class Functionality
Located in Jacksonville, Florida, EverBank®, with over 1500 employees, is
consistently recognized by the industry for its quality products and services.
The key to EverBank's award-winning performance is its commitment to
creating a high-performance workforce. EverBank recently selected Halogen
eAppraisal to optimize its employee performance and talent management.

"We were looking to make the move from a manual process to an automated
streamlined system," said Kristina Herod, Compensation Manager with
EverBank. "Our focus was on introducing enterprise-class functionality to the
process to include enhanced goal setting and management and review
tracking. The Halogen offering provides all the flexibility and functionality we
need, while enabling HR to stay in control of the process and to make
changes without the assistance of IT or the vendor."
