WorkTech Enhances WorkTech Time 3.3 for MaximoŽ

Software Reduces Costs and Increases Efficiency for Maximo Customers

July 19, 2004, MRO World, Washington, DC ? Work Technology Corporation today announced rich feature enhancements to its WorkTech Time time and attendance software product that is tightly integrated with MRO Software's Maximo and that is resold by MRO Software through their Product Solution partnership program.

WorkTech Time 3.3 offers greater ease-of-use, provides information and reports that help managers and supervisors more easily meet their business goals, and makes important payroll and HR information readily available to workers and supervisors on- and off-site.

"WorkTech Time helps our customers realize greater value from their Maximo investment," said Rich Caplow, director, product marketing, MRO Software. "Time collection costs drop and management is able to increase efficiency with the detailed labor data that WorkTech Time combines with Maximo-managed information."

With WorkTech Time 3.3, web data entry has been extended to include the supervisory functions to review worker time sheets and approve time worked. Supervisors can review at any level of detail, allowing them to approve by any combination of day, project, location, or work order. They can send questions regarding any entry back to the worker and approve the rest of the time sheet.

Release 3.3 of WorkTech Time includes an updated web user interface that consolidates all product modules and places information and actions within single screens that can be customized on a user-by-user basis to include only what each individual needs to best do his or her job. The individual user screen can then be filtered by project, work order, contract or shift.

Leave Time, the WorkTech Time module that manages the request, approval, and logging of leave, offers an improved interface for users to review leave requests in the context of work schedules, time worked, and work planned. Users can also review the corporate leave policy documents that are implemented into the Leave Time business rules. Supervisors benefit from the ability to review vacation and holidays in the context of staff availability during any specified time frame so they understand their net resources. They can drill down to view the schedules of individuals or groups of individuals for which they are responsible. When this information is easier to access, supervisors and workers can plan better and with less effort. All labor data, associations, and changes are captured for potential future audit and compliance with mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley.

WorkTech has distilled WorkTech Time implementation experience into a set of actionable, standard reports that will help organizations better manage to their KPIs (key performance indicators). Reports include: Cost by Work Order, Daily Cost Summary, Time Sheet/Gate Discrepancy Report, Labor Hours and Rate Report, Attendance Exception Report, Unapproved Pay Records Report, Holiday Worked Report, Leave Detail Report, Leave Balances Report, Overtime Report, and Special Compensation Report.

"Web access to supervisory functions, the greater ease of use of Leave Time, and the new reports add significant value to the operations of current customers and increases the value of a WorkTech Time/Maximo solution to new ones," states Tom Frederick, VP of Sales at WorkTech.
