WESTON, Fla., Dec. 27, 2000 - Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading
provider of Web-based payroll and employee management solutions, announced
that Omni Hotels, a four-diamond, luxury hospitality chain, selected UltiPro
Web and UltiPro HRMS/Payroll for payroll, benefits and employee management
in September of this year and is currently in the process of implementing
the solution.
Omni
Hotels has used Ultimate Software�s UltiPro�s DOS-based application for
a number of years and knew the company could be relied upon for exceptional
service. According to Paul Dietzler, vice president of information
technology and finance at Omni Hotels, �There was never a question of researching
other vendors. We knew that the Web-based self-service UltiPro Web
would enable us to communicate more effectively with employees in our 40
locations and give our executives easy access to reporting on employee
metrics at these locations. More importantly, beyond functionality,
we knew from experience that Ultimate Software would provide us great ongoing
product support.�
�We have a solid reputation for operating our hotels on precision, cost-efficiency
and real-time response to guests� needs,� said Dietzler. �With UltiPro,
we are simply extending these same principles beyond the front desk and
into our back office operations. Having a fully integrated payroll
and employee management solution lets us unlock the value of our employee
information at the property and chain levels, so that each manager can
make more informed business decisions.�
The combination of UltiPro HRMS/Payroll and UltiPro Web puts critical
employee records and dynamic business intelligence tools on the desktops
of upper level executives and managers. Omni Hotel managers will
have the ability to track such important workforce metrics and trends as
employee turnover, overtime containment, recruitment effectiveness and
employee efficiency on a real-time basis. In addition, with UltiPro,
employees at all properties will have instant Web access to review relevant
company and personal information for answers to standard questions or to
accomplish such activities as updating their benefits choices during open
enrollment�all without calling the HR department.
�We are happy to see our relationship with Omni Hotels continuing to
strengthen,� said Scott Scherr, CEO, president and founder of Ultimate
Software. �Our newer UltiPro solutions add greater business value
and, at the same time, maintain the same level of quality and reliability.�

throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
