WESTON, Fla., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WHO: Joel Ronkin, executive vice president and general manager - North
America Fragrances, Elizabeth Arden Inc., and Bill Hicks, chief
information officer, Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI)
WHAT: Joel Ronkin and Bill Hicks will copresent a session entitled
"Triumphing over Adversity at Elizabeth Arden: Blueprint for
Emergency Planning." WHY: No one can predict the timing of an emergency, but businesses can
and should prepare for the unexpected. Temporary facility
shutdowns and business disruptions can occur as a result of
electrical failures, floods, tornadoes, gross hardware failures,
network/telecom failures, terrorist attacks, or the unplanned
loss of critical staff. Joel Ronkin will share successes and lessons learned after
Hurricane Wilma shut down Elizabeth Arden's corporate
headquarters in Florida for eight days, but its HR and payroll
system remained up and running, accessible from a hotel room.
Elizabeth Arden's system is UltiPro Workforce Management
delivered through Ultimate Software's on-demand service model,
Intersourcing.
WHEN: The presentation is Wednesday, October 4, 2006, 3:15 p.m. to
