Human Resources: Ultimate Software's UltiPro Facilitates Improved Performance Management for The Henry Wine Group

WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 28, 2007--Ultimate Software
(Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human
resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, announced today
that The Henry Wine Group, a leading wholesale wine distributor in
California, is achieving efficiencies, strategic value, and cost
savings with core UltiPro and UltiPro Performance Management.

Having used a payroll service bureau before UltiPro, The Henry
Wine Group selected Ultimate Software to cost-effectively use
technology to streamline and enhance its human resources and talent
management with UltiPro's Web functionality. After implementing core
UltiPro to manage its human resources, benefits management, and
payroll in January 2007, the wine company went "live" on UltiPro
Performance Management in August 2007.

"I am hearing very positive comments about UltiPro Performance
Management from everyone. Employees love being able to complete
self-assessments online, and managers appreciate the alerts they
receive automatically before evaluations are due," said Javier
Sanchez, The Henry Wine Group's manager of application development.
"Since The Henry Wine Group and its subsidiaries are distributed
throughout seven locations and have many employees in virtual offices,
the Web-based solution offers a convenient and effective way to align
talent performance with company objectives."

With UltiPro's reporting capabilities, Sanchez believes HR is
significantly increasing its strategic contributions to the company.
Having created detailed reports to meet the company's unique needs,
Sanchez is giving HR leaders and top-line executives the tools to make
better decisions regarding retention, overtime, and staffing. For
instance, The Henry Wine Group regularly monitors turnover and
analyzes the reasons that employees are leaving so the company can
determine if there are compensation, training, or management issues.
For even more insight, the distributor also tracks where employees go
once they leave the organization.

"We invest a significant amount of resources in training, so we
constantly analyze the business impact by monitoring retention and
turnover with core UltiPro. When we see dips, we can make changes on
the fly," said Sanchez. "With UltiPro, if a problem is found today, it
can be handled by the next payroll."

"Ultimate Software offers a full suite of strategic human
resources, payroll, and talent management products that deliver
organizations like The Henry Wine Group a strategic human capital
management solution to better manage based upon key business
performance indicators like retention rates, compensation metrics, and
employee performance trends," said Greg Swick, senior vice president
of sales for Ultimate Software. "We are very pleased that The Henry
Wine Group is achieving its strategic management goals."
