Human Resources: JDSU Signs Contract for Performance Management Software from SumTotal

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 2007--SumTotal(R)
Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:SUMT), a global provider of talent and learning
management solutions, signed a contract to provide 7,000 employees at
Milpitas, Calif.-based JDSU -- a leading enabler of broadband and
optical innovation -- with TotalPerformance(TM), software that sets
and analyzes employee goals, develops succession plans, identifies
high-performing workers and automates performance appraisals. JDSU
carries out its operations around the globe. So earlier this month,
SumTotal implemented the performance management software for JDSU in
Chinese, English and French.

    "SumTotal's product aligns well with our new emphasis on
performance management tools that enable high-quality feedback between
managers and employees and development dialogue versus providing a
strictly quantitative rating process," said Jenny Brandemuehl,
director of Talent Management & Organization Effectiveness for JDSU.

    "We feel SumTotal's Visual Profiler(TM) drag-and-drop
functionality for rating employees is innovative and provides us with
flexibility," added Carlino Cecilio, HRIS manager for JDSU. "We also
chose SumTotal because of its full-service offering and breadth of
product suite. They not only provided a BPO model where standard
configurations will be done continually, but also a learning
management system that delivers and tracks workforce education."

    SumTotal's BPO (business process outsourcing) services include
ongoing system administration as well as help-desk support for users.

    "JDSU's vision for managing talent is a strategic one that taps
technology to improve performance and gauge how well employees are
carrying out their jobs," said Nick Rusiniak, SumTotal's director of
sales for Western North America. "With the implementation of
TotalPerformance, we feel JDSU has built a foundation for a multi-year
plan to deploy goal-setting, workforce succession planning, 360-degree
feedback and our learning management system in one, integrated talent
management solution."

    The Mountain View, Calif., company will host TotalPerformance for
JDSU at SumTotal's data center.
