Winning Keynotes, Record Attendance and Customer Collaboration Highlight Deploy Solutions Annual User Conference

NEWTON, MASS. – Oct. 20, 2005 – Seminars, expert panels, product updates and several keynotes headlined Deploy Solutions’ 2005 User Conference, which gathered an attendance that doubled the previous year.

“The user conference was exactly what I would expect from Deploy – informative, helpful and extremely customer-driven,” said Fred Cornman, Division Human Resource Manager for Tire Kingdom.

Featuring a theme of “Selecting a Winning Crew,” the conference was held October 5-7 in Newport, Rhode Island, to convey the latest in product information and industry trends to representatives from Deploy's growing client list. The conference had an excellent turnout, growing by almost 100 percent from last year’s conference.

To provide a refreshing and innovative view on human resources, the keynote address, “Selecting a Winning Crew,” was presented by Betsy Allison, a five-time winner of the prestigious Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year award and one of the world’s top female sailors. Deploy President and CEO Nicole Stata presented a keynote speech highlighting major market trends and outlining Deploy’s approach for helping its customers address their talent needs in these changing markets. In addition, Mel Kleiman, a renowned thought leader in recruiting, selecting, hiring and retaining hourly employees, provided an insightful presentation on what to look for in selecting and hiring the best candidates.

Deploy customers were inspired by the opportunity to share best practices with each other, and excited to learn about the innovative features that Deploy is planning to release in its 2006 product roadmap. “The conference was very informative, providing thought-leading ideas across multiple sessions,” noted Valerie Johnson, Director of Recruitment Systems for Advocate Health Care. “Of course, we found the opportunity to collaborate and share best practices with other customers to be extremely valuable as well. One of the things I found most exciting was the new ideas Deploy is developing for the Career Website – we can't wait to implement that.”

“My goal for the conference was to continue the critical dialog and conversation with our customers and users," said Nicole Stata. "The collaboration with our customers was a tremendous success and will help Deploy continue to innovate and improve our talent suite for our expanding group of world-class customers and partners.”
