Human Resources: Healthcare Services OrganizationAchieves Efficiencies with Ultimate Software's Intersourcing

    WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2007--Ultimate Software
(Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human
resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, announced today
that Dungarvin, a St. Paul-based healthcare service organization
supporting people with developmental disabilities, is more efficiently
managing its 2,600-person workforce in 900 locations using Ultimate
Software's UltiPro delivered through its Intersourcing service model.

    Dungarvin is a national organization of privately-owned companies
that are dedicated to providing high quality, community-based support
to people with developmental disabilities. Prior to UltiPro, the
organization was using a service bureau for payroll and an in-house
solution to manage human resources. The lack of integration created
data integrity problems, redundant data entry, and cumbersome
reporting. The company selected UltiPro in 2004 because of the
solution's:

    -- Intersourcing service model

    -- Robust HR, benefits, and payroll functionality, including Web
        self-service

    -- Business intelligence reporting

    Dungarvin chose Intersourcing because Ultimate Software handles
the IT hardware and services needed to fully leverage UltiPro, freeing
up its own IT resources to focus on other core projects.
"Intersourcing lets us dedicate our IT resources to other projects and
saves us from having to keep up with the latest and greatest
hardware," said Debi Allsup, director of HR and risk management for
Dungarvin. "Intersourcing makes sense for organizations like ours that
have limited IT resources but need the benefits of an integrated
comprehensive HRMS."

    One of the advantages of Ultimate Software's Intersourcing is that
it includes Web self-service. Dungarvin rolled out manager
self-service to the company's 300 executives and supervisors so they
can view and manage staff details in such areas as compensation and
performance reviews, training, and emergency phone numbers. Regardless
of their location or time zone, Dungarvin's managers can access this
information over the Internet, without calls or emails to human
resources.

    "Before UltiPro, we provided managers with reports that were out
of date before they even received them. Now that they have UltiPro and
can collect information on their own in real-time, we can all operate
more efficiently," said Allsup.

    Because Intersourcing also includes UltiPro's comprehensive core
payroll and human resources functionality, Dungarvin is able to better
handle the complexities associated with its workforce, such as
employees who work multiple jobs in the same pay period with different
rates of pay. UltiPro automatically applies the correct pay rates for
Dungarvin employees based on the employee's job code and location,
saving time and improving data integrity.

    "We have very complex pay scales due to the variety of work that
our employees perform," said Allsup. "For instance, an employee is
compensated differently depending upon whether the care is provided
during waking or sleeping hours. Different jobs may also require more
training than others, and those jobs have higher compensation rates.
Before UltiPro, we had to take the time to manually look up and enter
the rates of pay, so if there was an error or typo, there was a big
problem. Now, UltiPro applies the correct wages, expediting the
process, improving accuracy, and enhancing the service we deliver to
our employees."

    Because different jobs at Dungarvin require different conditions
of employment, accreditations, and experience, Dungarvin uses UltiPro
to perform "gap" analyses, so leadership knows that there are no gaps
between the qualifications of the employee and the requirements for
the employee's job. Ensuring that jobs are filled with the most
qualified employees is an important factor in Dungarvin providing its
customers the best care possible.

    "Our employees frequently move from one job to another job within
Dungarvin. Before UltiPro, it was very time consuming to manually
cross check job prerequisites with employee accreditations, education,
and training," said Allsup. "Quality is what we are all about, and
UltiPro helps us deliver on that mission."

    "Like Dungarvin, Ultimate Software is committed to quality --
quality products and services," said Greg Swick, senior vice president
of sales for Ultimate Software. "Intersourcing customers can reap the
benefits of our focus on quality and enhance the contributions their
human resources and payroll teams can make to their businesses, as
Dungarvin has done."
