Press Release Summary: HMS EXTENDS ITS TIMECONTROL TIMESHEET SOLUTION TO EMBRACE
MICROSOFT'S POPULAR COLLABORATION FRAMEWORK

Press Release Body: HMS Software, a leading provider of project management and
enterprise timesheet solutions, has announced that its TimeControl timesheet system
now supports the Microsoft SharePoint Services and Microsoft SharePoint Portal
environments. Microsoft has already listed TimeControl as a timesheet solution for
use with Microsoft Project and Project Server and this announcement extends HMS
Software's partnership with Microsoft.

"We're very excited about this new announcement," said Chris Vandersluis, President
of HMS Software. "SharePoint is one of the fastest growing product groups at
Microsoft and is being adopted by many organizations both large and small.
TimeControl is already well known around the world as an enterprise level timesheet
and we believe that making TimeControl available from within the SharePoint
interface will make it even easier for organizations to deploy."

Microsoft has announced that over 100 Million licenses of SharePoint are already
deployed and many products are endorsing the environment. TimeControl is one of the
first timesheet systems that is available now for deployment within SharePoint.

\"While this announcement is new, we already have had extensive experience with
TimeControl used within SharePoint," says Stephen Eyton-Jones, Director of Technical
Services at HMS. "We have designed TimeControl 5 to work within Microsoft Project
Server's Project Web Access Interface which is already within SharePoint. Our new
integrator can now install TimeControl directly into a SharePoint worksite where it
becomes immediately accessible to anyone who has been granted access."

HMS Software is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner with an Information Worker
Competency and has had a relationship integrating TimeControl with Microsoft
Products since 1995. Only a small fraction of Microsoft\'s hundreds of thousands of
partners are ever elevated to Gold Certified status.

"We know that one of the biggest challenges in a timesheet system is its acceptance
by the end users," says Vandersluis. "For those organizations which have deployed
or are deploying SharePoint, this new installation capability of TimeControl will
ensure an uninterrupted user experience."

The TimeControl SharePoint Integrator is currently free for organizations purchasing
TimeControl and is included with each TimeControl system.
