– Customers Cite iCIMS’ Scalable, Singular Technology as Key Decision Factor in Selecting the SaaS Provider for Talent Management Initiatives –

HAZLET, N.J. (January 20, 2009) – iCIMS, a leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider, today announced that the company has seen a significant trend among organizations in the Computer Software and Healthcare industries selecting the iCIMS Talent Platform for their talent management needs. These companies, which are out-performing averages across industries in terms of growth and hiring, cite the cost-effectiveness of the platform as well as the inherent flexibility and scalability for future needs as factors in their decision making process. Some notable clients from the Computer Software and Healthcare industries who have recently signed on with iCIMS include Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR), Cascade Heatlhcare Community, AXIOM Systems, Sage Software, American Laser Centers and TIBCO Software (NASDAQ: TIBX).

The recent trend of software organizations implementing iCIMS’ Talent Platform is a direct testament to the superior technology offered by the SaaS provider. Decision makers in the technology space cite the Talent Platform’s inherently strong back-end technology and single-source delivery via one core platform as key determinants in their selection of iCIMS. These organizations recognize the long-term value the Talent Platform offers, specifically in today’s economy, as iCIMS’ software allows users to manage their entire talent lifecycle through a single web-based system and eliminates the need to ever purchase costly, disparate solutions.

“iCIMS’ technology is a smart investment for businesses that are able to look past the economic turbulence and foresee viability and growth,” said iCIMS’ Director of Sales, Adam Feigenbaum. “We’re seeing a growing number of organizations replace their existing applicant tracking or talent management systems with iCIMS’ platform because clients are easily able to configure and scale our technology without incurring customization or data storage fees.”

Organizations in the healthcare industry have attributed the movement onto the Talent Platform to the technology’s usability and flexibility. Healthcare organizations interested in managing multiple hiring types, such as hourly and salaried recruitment, are able to do so within one core technology rather than purchase and implement more than one system. Furthermore, as a traditionally paper-intensive industry, healthcare recruiters have cited the technology’s user-friendly interface as a major asset to platform adoption. Finally, the environmental and cost benefits of the automated platform have been recognized as real advantages by the efficiency-conscious healthcare companies.

Recently named the two-time winner of the HRchitect “beauty pageant” for talent acquisition and mid-market applicant tracking solutions , iCIMS specializes in solutions to attract, retain, and manage talent, giving users the ability to perform all HR tasks through a single application. More than 600 companies from various industries use iCIMS’ Talent Platform to automate and streamline their talent management needs. As decision makers become more forward-looking in their technology investments, more companies are embracing integrated platforms that can support an array of talent management needs without relying on multiple purchases, implementations, or source codes. iCIMS’ SaaS delivery and service model also ensures clients don’t have to invest tens of thousands of dollars to create or support an HRIT infrastructure, nor do they run into cost creep for maintenance, upgrades, or service fees. Clients are able to configure the iCIMS Talent Platform around their unique HR goals; powering such initiatives as workforce planning, applicant tracking, on-boarding, performance management, employee surveys and more all through one platform.

“The trend that iCIMS is seeing from clients in industries such as computer software and healthcare is that they are unwaveringly focused on the fundamentals of organizational efficiency and the ability to derive real value from their investments,” said Feigenbaum. “iCIMS is able to deliver on these fundamentals, offering a cost-effective yet comprehensive solution that provides long-term value for each and every one of our clients.”
