Press Release Summary: HMS SOFTWARE RENEWS ITS TECHNICAL PARTNERSHIP WITH PRIMAVERA
FOR AN UNPRECEDENTED 11TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR.



Press Release Body: HMS Software has announced that it has renewed its participation
in the Primavera Technology Partner program. This program includes strategic and
technical alliance partners who have products and services which extend the
Primavera enterprise project management and portfolio management tools. This will be
HMS Software's 11th consecutive year as a Primavera Alliance partner.

“HMS and Primavera have been technology partners since 1997 and our relationship
with the company stretches back to the early 80’s,” said Chris Vandersluis,
President of HMS Software. “Our primary intention in this relationship is to extend
the capabilities of Primavera project management software with our TimeControl
enterprise timesheet system.”

HMS Software became a Primavera Technology partner based on the integration of its
TimeControl timesheet software which has pre-configured links to move data to and
from Primavera’s project management products. For Primavera clients who require more
financially oriented timesheets or timesheets which are well suited for both payroll
and project updating purposes, the TimeControl timesheet can be deployed in an
enterprise-wide environment.

The bi-directional link between TimeControl and Primavera allows for project, task
and resource information to be moved from Primavera and actual hours, costs and task
progress to move from TimeControl back to Primavera.

TimeControl’s additional functionality makes the product an attractive add-on when
an organization wishes to implement Primavera and to use the timesheet data to
update both Primavera and financial systems such as Payroll, Billing, Human
Resources or Job Costing. TimeControl is able to link to virtually any financial
system including SAP, Oracle, Timberline and Microsoft’s Dynamics group of finance
packages including Great Plains and Solomon.

“We've maintained a link with the Primavera project management products since 1997,”
explained Stephen Eyton-Jones, HMS Software's Director of Technical Services. “In
that time, we’ve seen a number of organizations that need a timesheet which will
serve multiple purposes. TimeControl was designed to handle the needs of both
Project Management and Finance at the same time."

Some of the clients who have already adopted TimeControl to work with Primavera's
systems include the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport, Koch Industries, Motorola, Organon,
Acergy and, Lockerbie and Hole.

Some of TimeControl's value-added benefits when linking with Primavera include:
Multiple Rates per employee, simultaneous support for multiple versions of Primavera
and matrix organization approvals with HMS Software's unique Matrix Approval Process
for Labor Actuals™. This process allows both departmental supervisors to approve
hours and costs with an unlimited number of approval levels and for project managers
to be able to verify and if required, redistribute accepted hours before they are
transferred back to Primavera.
