Human Resources: Pechanga Resort and Casino Wins Big at Talent Management with HalogenSoftware

OTTAWA, ON – July 22, 2008 – Pechanga Resort and Casino has selected
Halogen's leading employee performance management and compensation
products to address the organization's growing talent management
requirements for its more than 5,000 employees. Pechanga Resort and
Casino, based in Temecula, California, is one of the state's largest operations
of its kind and the first resort and casino to be awarded the AAA Four
Diamond rating. Pechanga is moving to Halogen's Web-based solution to
streamline its employee performance management process and enable the
organization to create a pay for performance strategy for all of its team
members.

Pechanga selected Halogen's eAppraisal and eCompensation offerings
following a review of competing solutions based primarily on the products'
ease of use and flexible deployment options. "We knew that any solution had
to be easy for all of our team members to use, since everyone from
housekeeping to food and beverage services to dealers in our casino will be a
part of our pay-for-performance system," said Tony Chartrand, Vice President
of Human Resources and Talent Management, Pechanga Resort and
Casino. "Hands down Halogen offered the cleanest interface and most flexible
offering available."

As evidenced in winning the coveted AAA Four Diamond award, Pechanga
places a high value on customer service and understands the critical role its
team members have in ensuring a positive visitor experience. As part of its HR
strategy, Pechanga is moving towards creating a culture in which each team
member has clear goals and is rewarded for meeting those goals. "We have
built a strong brand based on outstanding guest service, and we need each
one of our team members to have a clear view of how they contribute to our
overall success," said Chartrand. "Moving to the Halogen system will enable
us to establish expectations in terms of performance and reward individuals
who meet and exceed those expectations."

Pechanga will be implementing the Halogen system using an on-premise
deployment model in order to meet its strict security
requirements. "Understandably, information security is a major issue for us,
and we needed to be able to deploy a talent management solution on our
own servers. Only Halogen offered us the flexibility of being able to deploy
the solution in a way that would best suit our needs," explained Chartrand.
