Human Resources: Softscape Exceeds 3.4 Million Users, Dominates Strategic Human CapitalManagement Market

Wayland, Mass. - March 10, 2008 - Softscape, the global leader in
integrated people management software, today announced it surpassed 3.4
million users across its expanding worldwide customer base, closed 2007
with continued growth and profitability, and gained additional
recognition from leading industry analysts as the most comprehensive
people management platform. The company attributes its positive results
to exceptional operational efficiency with its SaaS delivery model and
increasing global demand for proven human capital management (HCM)
solutions.

Softscape achieved 134 percent sales growth in the second half of 2007
compared to the same period in 2006, and increased bookings from
existing customers by 51 percent. The company experienced strong demand
in North America, Europe, and particularly Latin America, with many new
multi-million dollar global accounts and an average customer size of
30,000 employees. The company extended its reach by closing a round of
external financing, adding new international hosting capabilities, and
expanding its offices in Australia to support customers locally.

Softscape added many new large enterprise and mid-market organizations
to its customer roster, including Johnson Controls, Dollar Tree Stores,
Lion Nathan, Luck Stone, Airwave, MITRE Corporation, and Praxair. The
company also maintained a 98 percent customer renewal rate, while more
than 71 percent of existing customers expanded their Softscape
deployments in 2007.

With a fully configurable architecture, advanced capabilities across all
talent acquisition, assessment, development, and management functions,
and a core system of record for all employee data, Softscape continues
to innovate how organizations can more effectively manage their
workforces. The company offers customers flexible deployment and
purchasing options, pre-configured best practices, and optional managed
services without the need for ongoing professional services. By helping
customers model their businesses - not just automate forms - Softscape
maintains strong, lasting relationships with its customers.

Softscape reinforced its position as a leader in the HCM industry with
recognition from industry analysts:

*       Recognized by Bersin & Associates as "one of the few technology
vendors today to offer a truly integrated talent management suite" and
the "customer satisfaction leader for the performance management
category in the enterprise segment" (1)
