Alpharetta, GA (September 29, 2008)

Emerald Software Group, a leading supplier of business process driven workforce management solutions, announces today that it is offering its workforce management technology free of charge to qualifying nonprofit organizations with missions in children's healthcare and wellness. The company's technologies are used to automate new employee hiring, also known as onboarding, employee materials requisitioning, and personnel actions. A description of the company's outreach program can be found at www.EmeraldSoftwareGroup.com/Outreach along with contact information.

"Our outreach program grew out of a management team discussion regarding what kind of company we are," said company President, Chuck Ros. "It was unanimous that we wanted to do something to give back to our community, and it was unanimous that we wanted to do something in children's healthcare. We may be a small company, but we can have big impact by helping these organizations save--in some cases--millions of dollars a year."

Emerald Software Group invites organizations involved in children's healthcare and wellness to visit their website to learn about the outreach program at www.EmeraldSoftwareGroup.com/Outreach, and interested organizations may submit the web form or call the company at (770) 569-5122.
