Sogeti USA Has Been Selected to Enhance and Implement a Scheduling Application to Manage Workers During the Republican National Convention

DAYTON, Ohio-(Business Wire)-September 4, 2008 - Sogeti USA LLC (“Sogeti USA”), a subsidiary entity of the Sogeti Group, a premier provider of information technology services to businesses and public-sector organizations worldwide and member of Capgemini Group, has been selected by the Saint Paul Police Department to enhance and implement the scheduling and time keeping application, WORKFORCE DIRECTOR™ (WFD). The enhancements will allow the Saint Paul Police Department to effectively and accurately track, manage and provide detailed reports on the 3,000 workers currently scheduled to assist with the upcoming Republican National Convention.

Sogeti USA was chosen based on their intimate knowledge and proven success in helping other agencies in the Twin Cities implement the WFD solution. Sogeti USA was involved in the initial WFD development and has been supporting the application for public safety agencies for the past three years, including working with the Minneapolis Police Department, Minneapolis Fire Department, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and Metropolitan Transit Police. This deep expertise and experience will allow Sogeti USA to quickly adapt and configure WFD to answer to the business needs of the Republican National Convention.

“Sogeti is passionate about helping clients to successfully reach their business goals and we’re proud to be a part of this important event. By working closely with the Minneapolis Police Department since the beginning in developing WFD, we have the extensive knowledge and experience to implement WFD for the City of Saint Paul during the upcoming Republican National Convention,” shares Randy Schmitz Geographical Vice President for Sogeti USA LLC.

WFD eliminates the need to create paper/electronic schedules and manual time card entries, saving time and ensuring accuracy. It provides a seamless flow from scheduling, to time keeping, to payroll integration. With additional modules such as Training, Inventory, Internal Affairs and Performance Reviews, WFD is an all-in-one solution that has been proven to pay for itself in operational savings. Sogeti USA has formed a partnership with the City of Minneapolis to support and market WFD to other public safety agencies.

The Republican National Convention will be held September 1-4, 2008; however WFD will be in operation from August 30 through September 6, 2008.
