Halogen Receives High Ratings from Bersin & Associates

OTTAWA – February 5, 2008 – Halogen Software Inc., the leading provider of
web-based employee performance and talent management software, today
announced that independent research firm Bersin & Associates ranked
Halogen as one of the market leaders in its recent report on talent
management vendors. Halogen received strong ratings in multiple categories
related to product strength, architecture and customer satisfaction.

The research study, Talent Management Suites: Market Realities,
Implementation Experiences, and Vendor Profiles, evaluated vendors across
seven key areas.  Halogen received the highest – a four-star ranking - in
customer satisfaction based on its outstanding references, support record
and overall customer experience.

"Every single customer reference from Halogen was extremely positive. In
fact, I interviewed more customers than planned to ensure that the results
weren't an anomaly," said Leighanne Levensaler, principal analyst for Bersin &
Associates, a research and advisory firm focused on enterprise learning and
talent management.  "Halogen's customers are fiercely loyal and all plan to
implement additional applications in the future. The company received the
highest possible ratings on responsiveness, domain expertise, follow-through,
and overall partnership."

The Bersin & Associates study is the first to examine this market, estimated
to be at $2.3Billion in 2008, which encompasses strategic HR functions such
as recruiting, learning management, compensation, performance management,
and succession planning.

"Ensuring a brilliant customer experience is a top priority for our company and
every employee's goals are aligned around this," said Paul Loucks, President
and CEO, Halogen Software. "Bersin & Associates' high ranking of our
company and product suite confirms our strategic direction.  This study
reinforces that our focus on what really matters – the customer and their
needs – is what makes a true market leader."
