Expanded Avue Offering Brings Leading Commercial Sector Solution to Federal

Government Agencies

    WASHINGTON, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Avue Technologies, provider of the
 leading public sector management platform, and Workbrain, Inc., the leading
 provider of time and attendance and workforce scheduling solutions for the
 private sector, today announced an agreement to incorporate Workbrain's
 capabilities into the Avue platform.
     Avue is a private sector shared-services provider that is the market
 leader in solutions designed to address all aspects of public sector human
 capital management. The Avue platform is a fully-hosted enterprise-class
 system of integrated modules that digitize, automate, optimize, track,
 monitor, and report on the most important management processes. Avue's
 platform is accessed by everyone in the organization from the desktop and
 addresses such processes as performance optimization, position management,
 compensation management, organizational architecture, recruitment and
 placement, organizational forecasting, personnel security, payroll
 integration, and succession planning, among others.
     "During the past year, a significant number of our Federal Government
 clients have identified a need for the Avue platform to include time and
 attendance and employee scheduling capabilities in order to meet demands
 for increased visibility and accountability," said Linda Rix, Co-CEO of
 Avue. "With broad consensus that Federal Government budgets will be under
 extreme stress in the coming years, agencies that can show results with the
 resources they are given by Congress will obviously do better than those
 that can't. We are delighted that we are able to add these critical
 capabilities to Avue using Workbrain, the very best of the best in time and
 attendance and employee scheduling in the private sector."
     Rix noted that the additional workforce management capabilities enabled
 by the expanded Avue offering will be essential to those of its clients
 pursuing emerging management strategies such as managing to budget or FTE,
 "activity- based costing", Six Sigma, as well as compliance with
 requirements of the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA). The data
 will provide enterprise visibility with complete drill-down capability via
 standard and ad hoc reports and the Avue Command Center(TM), a
 comprehensive executive information system dashboard.
     "The incorporation of our solution into Avue's offering brings
 significant value to the Federal sector," said Steve DeBacco, Workbrain's
 Chief Operating Officer. "Avue is ideally positioned serve the Time and
 Attendance and Scheduling needs of this market."
     The technology philosophy shared by both firms will enable nearly
 immediate release by Avue of the expanded system capability in two new
 modules -- Avue Time & Attendance, which includes Leave Management and
 Attendance Management, and Advanced Employee Scheduling. Because Avue and
 Workbrain share the technology vision of using standards-based, native-web
 technology, built from the ground up using infinitely scalable J2EE
 architecture, Workbrain's software feature functionality can be quickly and
 easily incorporated into the Avue platform.
