Genesys Software Systems Announces Partnership with Wavecrest Computing

Alliance Helps Clients Monitor Web Access, Maximizing Workforce Productivity

METHUEN, Mass. - October 2, 2002 - Genesys Software Systems, Inc., a provider of software and outsourcing services for human resource (HR) management, payroll, benefits, and learning management, today announced a referral partnership with Wavecrest, a developer of Web access management products. Through this partnership, Genesys customers will have access to products that monitor and report on the use of Web resources by employee workforces.

Wavecrest software helps organizations maximize workforce productivity, reduce bandwidth costs, conserve network resources, and minimize non-productive Web surfing. Its products also give HR and IT management the ability to effectively implement and enforce consistent access policies and thereby limit potential legal exposure from inappropriate Internet use. Wavecrest software can be easily tailored according to unique corporate policies and can scale to 100,000 users.

"Wavecrest's products have been developed with the clear understanding that people surf the Web, not computers," said Dennis McCabe, vice president of business development for Wavecrest. "Genesys customers have long relied on Genesys to help them leverage the benefits of the Internet through innovative human capital management solutions. We are confident we can bring additional value to these organizations by providing accurate and meaningful information on the use of employers' Web resources."

"As companies increase their reliance on the Internet for a variety of business processes, the development and administration of effective Internet use policies is becoming increasingly important," said Judy Dukas, director of strategic business alliances for Genesys Software Systems. "Companies need to ensure that valuable infrastructure resources are being used for productive purposes. They also need to protect themselves from the legal liabilities that can result from inappropriate use of the Internet. Our alliance with Wavecrest can help our customers meet both of these needs."
