RESTON, Va. - March 13, 2001 - Workscape, the leading provider of Internet-based Human Capital Management (HCM) platform solutions, continued strong sales growth in all lines of business as evidenced by a number of new deals with major corporations through the end of 2000.
Workscape made available its new multi-client application service provider (ASP) infrastructure through its relationship with Exodus Communications® Inc.

Some of Workscape's newest ASP clients included DynCorp, ICI America, Kaiser Permanente, National Semiconductor (NYSE: NSM), Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD), and National Steel Corporation (NYSE: NS). Existing ASP clients that purchased additional self-service applications included National Grid (NYSE: NGG), Quantum Corporation (NYSE: DSS) and Tyco (NYSE: TYC).

"We feel our growing customer list of global leaders is a testament to Workscape's ability to solve critical business process problems and significantly impact the bottom line."
On-premise software deployments for Employee Self-Service (ESS), and Manager Self-Service (MSS) applications grew steadily with new clients including Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE: ADM), Bank One (NYSE: ONE) and General Dynamics (NYSE: GD).
