HumanConcepts Launches OrgPlus^® 9

Sausalito, Calif. - October 5, 2010 - HumanConcepts, the leading provider of workforce decision support solutions, today released its newest version of the popular organizational charting software, OrgPlus® 9. With over 50 new best-practice based templates and reports as well as a completely updated user interface, OrgPlus 9 empowers small and medium businesses (SMBs), departmental managers and organizational design professionals to improve visibility into their organizational structure, save time in producing detailed workforce analysis and develop a deeper understanding of their most important workforce issues.

As organizational agility becomes a strategic imperative, companies benefit from OrgPlus' data driven insight to successfully plan and manage workforce change events including reorganizations, succession planning, promotions, onboarding and offboarding employees. With OrgPlus 9, decision makers can align the structure with goals, model future scenarios, and communicate the new hierarchy across the organization.

OrgPlus 9 takes OrgPlus' industry leading organizational charting to the next level by embedding HR expertise and best practices into the product. The solution now leverages over a decade of collaboration with companies of all sizes to include dozens of pre-defined templates and reports for out-of-the-box, organizational insight. After simply mapping standard data fields, users gain access to comprehensive workforce information. OrgPlus 9 brings all the power of the solution's rich functionality directly to the user in an all new, intuitive, Microsoft Windows® 2010-based interface.

OrgPlus 9 enables organizations to see their workforce like never before. New features that improve visibility and save time include:

• New user interface. Intuitive Microsoft® Office 2010 based user interface makes the most used features of OrgPlus easy to find and use.
• Pre-defined view templates. Best practice-based views that show just the right information for the most common business challenges. OrgPlus delivers 36 of the most frequently used workforce snapshots, including management dashboards, structure analysis, compensation review and more.
• Pre-defined reports. New standard reports summarize key information to fuel organizational decisions, while requiring no time investment in report creation.
• Smart fields highlight important information. Smart fields apply specific formats when data in any field meets user-defined conditions (e.g. managers, compensation above range, high performer), providing rapid insight and organizational understanding.
• Symbols library. Users can now select an icon from the OrgPlus Symbols Library in place of text to visually communicate key information.

"Management needs the proper tools to visualize and understand the organization – and to easily make and evaluate workforce changes. An OrgPlus org chart clearly illustrates how your organization is structured to accomplish strategic objectives and includes far more than just names and titles," said Martin Sacks, President and CEO, HumanConcepts. "OrgPlus 9 helps you visualize the current state, analyze key drivers, communicate organizational information across the company, and create scenarios to plan for change."
