09-10-09	Workplace Sys Intnl - Half Year Trading Update	RNS
RNS Number : 5037A Workplace Systems International PLC 09 October 2009 9 October 2009 WORKPLACE SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL PLC HALF-YEAR PRE-CLOSE ANNOUNCEMENT AND CUSTOMER WINS IN EUROPE AND THE US Ahead of the announcement of the results for the six months ended 30 September 2009, the Board of Directors of WorkPlace Systems International plc ("WorkPlace" or the "Company") provides the following update on trading. Trading improved significantly during the summer following the disappointing market conditions of early 2009 and the initial months of the current Half-Year. This enabled the Company to reach a break-even position for the first half which represents a significant turnaround since the second half of the previous Financial Year when market conditions caused customers to delay many projects. As indicated at the Company's AGM: RECENT ORDERS FROM NEW AND EXISTING CUSTOMERS INDICATE THAT THE BACKLOG OF PROJECTS FOR WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS WHICH BUILT UP DURING THE PREVIOUS NINE MONTHS ARE NOW BEING RELEASED IN THE UK AND EUROPE THE WORKPLACE US OPERATION HAS GENERATED A PROFIT DURING THE HALF-YEAR. THIS FOLLOWS THE US RESTRUCTURING UNDERTAKEN IN LATE 2008/EARLY 2009 WHICH CREATED THE BASIS FOR A GROWING AND PROFITABLE BUSINESS BASED ON THE WORKPLACE SAAS PRODUCT. In addition to these US operational changes, the Board is pleased to announce that its US subsidiary, WorkPlace Systems Inc, has just signed the contract to roll-out the WorkPlace Saas Workforce Management Solution, WorkPlace On-Line, to a major US retailer as a hosted service. The contract was won following a competitive three-month live pilot in 99 of the retailer's stores and the WorkPlace SaaS solution is now being rolled-out across the entire estate of several thousand stores during the current WorkPlace Financial Year. Work on this roll-out commenced in September and the benefits will be recognised during the second half of the current Financial Year and into future periods. WorkPlace's CEO, Barney Quinn, commented: "This is a major step in the development of WorkPlace in both the US market and with our SaaS product and confirms the change in business focus that the Board has adopted through the recent economic upheaval. Our ability to implement fully the hosted solution in 99 stores within a four-week period is testimony to the quality and ease of implementation of our new products by our staff and was critical to meeting the economic and operational requirements set out by the customer." The Company's cash position remains healthy and in line with expectations and the Company remains debt free. Recent progress supports the Board's statement at the time of the AGM that "it remained confident for the Full Year figures" providing this positive trend continues.

26-08-09	Workplace Sys Intnl - AGM Statement	RNS
RNS Number : 0270Y Workplace Systems International PLC 26 August 2009 WorkPlace Systems International Plc ("WorkPlace or the Company") AGM Statement At the Annual General Meeting held this morning the Company gave the following trading update. Following the disappointing market conditions of early 2009 which extended into the initial months of the current Financial Year, trading improved significantly during the summer months. This gives the Board confidence for the Full Year figures providing this trend continues. Recent orders indicate that the backlog of projects for Workforce Management Solutions, which built up during the previous nine months, has started to release. New orders from existing customers in the UK and Europe have been received together with a number of new name contracts. The WorkPlace Software-as-a-Service solution, Workplace On-Line, continues to pilot in a number of Leisure and Security organisations and several multi-location Retailers have signed initial orders. In the US, the Board is pleased to announce that the WorkPlace business will break even during the First-Half following several years of losses. In addition to new software implementations and existing US customers continuing to roll out their WorkPlace solutions within the North American market, the Company has licensed its Labour Standards methodology and tool kit to Knightsbridge Human Resources under an exclusive reseller and distribution agreement. This enables WorkPlace to expand its software solutions business in North America under the global Workplace brand and to manage separately the independent consultancy business through a new distribution and reseller network. The Company's cash position remains healthy in spite of the impact of the quiet trading during the Second-Half of FY2009 and early FY2010. Recent orders together with the expanded order book are expected to return cash balances to previous levels during the Second-Half of the current Financial Year. All resolutions put to the Annual General Meeting were carried unanimously on a show of hands.
