ATLANTA and CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 2002

Cyborg Systems, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of integrated workforce management software solutions, and Workbrain, Inc., the industry-standard for Employee Relationship Management (ERM) solutions, today announced a marketing alliance. Under the agreement, Workbrain and Cyborg will participate in co-promotional, marketing and sales activities. Cyborg and Workbrain will provide a fully integrated, best-of-breed labor management solution that delivers online access to time and attendance functionality, enabling enterprises to reduce costs and increase employee productivity.

"The combined functionality and synergy between Workbrain and Cyborg allows us to jointly deliver a comprehensive employee management solution to the marketplace," said Jeff Koven, executive vice president, strategy for Cyborg. "This solution enables organizations to address and manage their complex time collection processes more efficiently and cost-effectively."

Cyborg's solution combines the powerful, strategic tools that HR professionals require to be effective, with the ease-of-use found in less comprehensive systems. HR professionals can manage all of their human resources, payroll, and benefits functions through one solution, enabling them to increase employee productivity and boost the return on their HRMS investment.

Workbrain automates and transforms the most frequent and complex interactions between an enterprise and its employees. The company's solutions incorporate a unique Open Business Rules(TM) architecture that enables customers to configure and fully automate their own business rules. In addition, Workbrain's architecture is based on the J2EE(TM) standard, ensuring scalability, rapid deployment and a low total cost of ownership.

Workbrain seamlessly interfaces with Cyborg's collaboration platform, automating 100% of pay rules and centralizing zero-to-gross pay functionality. The joint solution will offer end-to-end capability for automating innovative business processes, including shift trading, skills and training management, overtime equalization, contractor management, and incentive pay calculations.

"Workbrain and Cyborg are delivering a powerful labor management solution with extraordinary ROI benefits to enterprises," said Eric Green, vice president of strategic alliances for Workbrain.
