Leading Software Developer Transforms Human Capital Management with UltiPro® Workplace

WESTON, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Ultimate Software (Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic
human resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, today announced that
Minitab Inc., one of the world`s leading developers of statistical analysis and
process improvement software for academic and commercial users, is taking
advantage of UltiPro Workplace to streamline human capital management (HCM)
processes, improve information delivery and availability, and enhance internal
services across the organization.

Before Minitab deployed UltiPro Workplace in July 2008, the company was using a
payroll service bureau and a separate HR solution that it had outgrown. To
manage expansion while controlling costs, the company sought a unified HR,
payroll, and benefits solution with robust reporting tools and Web access for
its workforce. The technology company selected UltiPro Workplace.

"UltiPro is adding tremendous value to our business," said Jill Skipper, HRIS
manager for Minitab. "We now need one less person to handle the same
responsibilities we had before UltiPro, because we have automated so many
employee management processes that previously required manual intervention."

For Skipper, who handles much of the business intelligence for Minitab,
responding to requests for reports used to require compiling information from a
dozen different solutions and databases. Today, with UltiPro, the information is
not only in one central location, but the reports are also highly configurable
in order to address unique reporting needs.

"I use UltiPro`s reporting on a daily basis to address everything from HR
compliance requirements to company asset tracking, benefits deduction analysis,
and employee tenure reports," said Skipper. "Leaders in business today need
access to meaningful real-time HR metrics in order to manage employees
effectively. All of our HCM reporting is so much easier with UltiPro."

Another benefit for Minitab is UltiPro`s Web access for the entire workforce.
With UltiPro, approximately 300 Minitab employees can view their individual
HR/payroll details as well as direct deposit selections, the schedule of
upcoming pay dates, and instructions for adjusting tax withholdings because of
the federal stimulus package.

"Employees can get information quickly without disrupting their daily workload
whenever they need something. We believe this kind of benefit to our workforce
is important to employee satisfaction, productivity, and efficiency," said
Skipper. "Because UltiPro is accessible to everyone in our organization, the
benefits of the solution have extended beyond HR and are positively affecting
the entire company."

Minitab has also discontinued printing direct deposit advices because employees
can see their fully secured paycheck details from their homes or offices.
Building on its success with UltiPro, the software developer has just started
using UltiPro for recruitment to automate its talent acquisition and applicant
management processes.

"With its comprehensive HCM functionality, analytical tools, and Web portal,
UltiPro Workplace is an end-to-end solution that midsized organizations can
leverage to manage their people like a FORTUNE 500 company," said Chris
Phenicie, vice president of UltiPro Workplace. "We are pleased that a leader in
the technology industry like Minitab selected UltiPro and is experiencing
significant improvements as a result."
