SaaS Industry Pioneer Howard Koenig Named Chief Executive Officer of Aruspex

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jun 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Aruspex, the leading Software as a Service ("SaaS") company solely
focused on Strategic Workforce Planning ("SWP"), today announced that it
has appointed Howard Koenig as CEO. Mr. Koenig joins Aruspex from
France-based Sword Group (NYSE Euronext: SWP), where he headed up North
American operations and strategic acquisitions for the global software
provider.

"Howard's appointment is the culmination of a long and careful search for
a leader that has demonstrated extraordinary stewardship of venture backed
SaaS companies. Howard brings the vital combination of overseeing two
startup SaaS successes compounded by deep domain experience in the Human
Capital Management space -- we couldn't be more pleased," said John Dyson
of Starfish Ventures, Aruspex's lead investor in the recent venture
funding round.

Mr. Koenig surprised his peers and industry analysts when he left a secure
role as Corporate Vice President at ADP in 1999 to take the CEO slot at
EmployeeLife, a nascent Silicon Valley startup engaged in providing
web-based access to health and welfare benefits enrollment and
self-administration. EmployeeLife was transformed into BenefitAmerica when
it was acquired by Unum Group in 2001. Mr. Koenig then guided San
Francisco-based Citadon to a successful outcome when it merged with
London-based BuildOnline to become CTSpace. Under Mr. Koenig's leadership,
CTSpace was subsequently acquired by the Sword Group in 2008.

"Aruspex's market leadership in Strategic Workforce Planning and proactive
talent management makes this an execution story," said Mr. Koenig. "To
Aruspex's good fortune, the large enterprise software suite vendors have
exhibited utter tone deafness when it comes to both SaaS and the very
potent white space of Strategic Workforce Planning. Clearly, opportunities
like Aruspex are few and far between -- I am energized by the accomplished
team, proven technology and market traction."
