PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - November 13, 2008) - CyberShift, a leading global provider
of workforce
management and
expense management software and services, today shared details of its
recent client conference, Accelerate 2008. Expressly designed for customers
of CyberShift's Workforce Management 3G™ and Necho Expense™ solutions
-- who rated the conference overall as 'excellent' in a post conference
survey -- the event was held from October 19 through October 22.
Accelerate 2008 gave CyberShift's customers the opportunity to attend a
wide range of informative workshop and training sessions on topics such as
workforce scheduling, absence management, expense management automation and
travel booking solutions. The event also featured a Partner Pavilion, where
attendees learned more about the solutions and the services offered by
CyberShift's sponsors and partners.
The conference's spotlight remained constant: automating workforce and
expense management will improve organizational performance and
profitability. Robert E. Farina, CEO of CyberShift commented,
"Organizations are approaching the new year with a renewed focus on gaining
control of their two top controllable business expenditures: labor and
employee business expenses. Turning to CyberShift's automated workforce and
expense management solutions enables them to rein in these costs and
improve organizational productivity -- timely and universal business
objectives." He added, "Additionally, CyberShift's flexible deployment
options -- via a variable cost Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or a
traditional license fee model -- offer solutions that meet the budgetary
and implementation requirements of mid to large-sized organizations."
CyberShift's post-conference survey revealed that workforce scheduling
continues to be of "high interest" to a large percentage of CyberShift's
customers. The ability to schedule employees effectively is a critical
element of business planning and with CyberShift's Workforce Management 3G
solution, organizations are able to optimize the scheduling and deployment
of often geographically disbursed, complex workforces.
The same survey revealed consensus that the most efficient and
cost-effective means of managing employee business expenses -- such as
travel and entertainment -- is through a joint expense management and
travel booking solution. To that end, highlighted at the conference were
CyberShift's partnerships with two of the leading travel booking solution
providers. The combined forces of these best-of-breed solutions with
CyberShift's Necho Expense ensures that business travel is within budget
and aligned with corporate policies.
CyberShift's conference theme was two-fold, "Rock Around The Clock" and
"Celebrating New Jersey at Its Best!" in honor of New Jersey, the location
of CyberShift's corporate headquarters, and home to some of the most
celebrated musical artists. Throughout the event, attendees enjoyed a
sampling of the music that celebrates New Jersey, including a performance
by "The CyberShifters," a band comprised of professional musicians from
CyberShift's own talented staff, and a trip to the award-winning Broadway
play, "Jersey Boys."
Keynote speaker, Steve Uzzell, an award-winning artistic visionary,
captivated the audience with his presentation, "Open Roads, Open Minds: An
Exploration of Creative Problem Solving." Uzzell shared his striking
photographs as illustrations of his metaphor about possibility and
creativity.
Farina concluded, "It is very important to CyberShift that we stay close to
our customers and understand their needs and how we can be the best
possible business partner for them. Accelerate 2008 enabled our customers
to learn more about how to maximize their investments in our solutions, as
well as foster on-going communication between our organizations. It was a
very productive event and I'd like to thank our clients, partners, and our
dedicated team of employees for contributing to the success of Accelerate
2008."
