Human Resources: Halogen Software Achieves Record First Quarter, Marks 22 Quarters of Year-Over-Year Growth

OTTAWA – April 23, 2008 – Halogen Software Inc., a leading provider of web-
based employee performance and talent management software announced
that the company's first quarter of 2008 broke previous first quarter records
for both new customer wins and revenue. This also marks the organization's

Halogen's positive first quarter results are a testament to the importance that
organizations of all sizes place on effectively managing employee performance
and talent regardless of economic cycles.

"Due to the highly classified nature of our business, we needed an employee
performance management vendor that would allow us to host our system
internally. Halogen allowed us to do this and it was incredibly easy to use and
implement. The IT staff who have been involved at our end love the system,"
said Robert C. Donovan, Corporate Director of Human Resources with JT3

uniform culture among the original organizations that have come together to
make up JT3 LLC."

needed to be streamlined and the quality, accuracy and consistency of the
final product had to be improved. Halogen will enable us to address all of
these issues," said Angela Hupf, VP of Human Resources at Memorial Health

know that it was already in place with over 400 healthcare facilities and the
