Press Release Summary: Jacob Fleming Apex has designed and organised a top of the
line 'HR Technology Summit' in response to the latest developments in technology
being used in HR management. JF Apex has personally invited HR Decision Makers to
join the Summit which will provide a programme dedicated to learning about these
processes from a selection of Senior HR industry speakers.

Press Release Body: Taking place on the 3rd, 4th and 5th November 2008 at the five
star A.B. Skipper Hotel in Barcelona the event is also open to solution providers to
take advantage of unique networking opportunities in a 1-2-1 format. This is an
opportunity to demonstrate what they can offer directly to an attentive and relevant
market.

The use of technology in HR management has grown considerably in recent years. Human
resource Information Systems (HRIS) have developed from being largely used for
administrative and data recording purposes to being applied in processes such as
recruitment, workforce planning, flexible benefits, absence management, learning,
development and employee engagement.

By automating as many processes as possible, HR has been able to significantly
reduce the time spent on routine administrative tasks, allowing them time to manage
the HR function in a strategic manner to become true partners in the business.

Despite the considerable growth in the application of technology in HR, this area is
still under-researched in terms of comprehensive examination of the impact of
technology on people management, communication and the HR function itself.

Participants at this event will discover what the effective IT processes and
programs are from the expert speakers. Nokia's Director of Finance and Control for
Global HR will be attending as one of these speakers. In mid-2007 Nokia employed
over 50 000 people from more than 120 nationalities. This presentation will share
how Nokia has achieved human capital reporting both internally and externally and
how workforce metrics has influenced key decision making processes in the various
lines of business.

Online recruiting forms one of the central pillars of a smart staffing strategy for
firms in every economic sector. Leader of HR Web Solutions at Lufthansa AG will
sharing the advantages that e-recruitment has given them in regards to resource
management. He will present the different ways in which online recruiting can be
used, the challenges and how things may develop in the future.

Another key speaker at the event comes as the Senior Business Director at BT. This
presentation will highlight the benefits and challenges of employee engagement by
implementing a flexible working environment.

The Director of Corporate HR Strategy & Controlling at Bertelsmann will also be
contributing to the event. He will lay out the role and responsibility of HR
departments during merger and acquisition transactions. He will be sharing which
tools can be used to support relevant issues, to make results visible and accessible
