AutoTime Interfaces with Oracle Work in Process Database Application

MIRAMAR, FL. – Aug. 26, 2004 – Kaba Workforce Solutions, the North American operating subsidiary of $800 million Kaba Holding AG and worldwide leader in time and labor management systems, today announced that Kinetic Concepts, Inc. (KCI), a global medical technology company with leadership positions in advanced wound care and therapeutic surfaces, will use its AutoTime time and attendance and labor reporting software to provide accurate time, labor and production tracking information.

AutoTime is a robust software system for time and attendance, labor distribution, and material movement tracking for exempt and non-exempt personnel. AutoTime captures and processes direct and indirect labor and calculates employee payroll in environments ranging from simple to complex. It offers strategic value to companies concerned with their use and cost of direct and indirect labor. It is highly configurable and quickly accommodates ever-changing, complex work rules that govern employee pay.

KCI will be using AutoTime with Oracle's Work in Process application. AutoTime is Oracle-certified and interfaces seamlessly with Oracle’s Work in Process, Projects, financial & HR applications. Time and labor information collected by AutoTime will be used in conjunction with Work in Process to track when each of six operations is completed, and then to determine the actual labor cost for each work order.

"Our certified Oracle interface ensures that manufacturers already using Oracle applications, such as Kinetic Concepts, can integrate AutoTime to receive timely, accurate labor and production data," emphasizes John Edwards, President and General Manager of Kaba Workforce Solutions. "Integrating AutoTime with Work in Process will allow KCI to operate in a highly efficient and cost effective environment."

AutoTime is installed at over 300 individual sites that employ from 150 to 15,000 employees and interfaces with leading ERP, payroll and enterprise systems.
