PEOPLECUBE ANNOUNCES NEW VERSION OF MEETING MAKER; COMPLIES WITH NEW DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME REGULATIONS

Latest Release Also Features New Wireless Calendar and Email Access From Blackberry and Other Mobile Devices

Waltham, Mass., December 18, 2006 – PeopleCube, the leader in on-demand Human Process Management (HPM) solutions, today announced the general availability of Meeting Maker version 8.6, the latest release of the popular collaborative calendaring and scheduling solution. This new release complies with revised dates of Daylight Saving Time (DST) as outlined in the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005. By issuing this release, meetings scheduled in Meeting Maker with people across certain time zones during the new DST dates, scheduled to go into effect in March 2007, will appear at the correct time. In addition, this new version of Meeting Maker is compatible with NotifyLink for Meeting Maker, a solution from Notify Technology Corporation that enables Meeting Maker users to access their calendars, email and more from Blackberry and other wireless devices.

In an effort to conserve energy, the United States Congress passed the Energy Policy Act in 2005 which mandated that Daylight Saving Time be extended by four weeks beginning in March of 2007. As such, this new version of Meeting Maker features the necessary enhancements to conform to the new dates of Daylight Saving Time. As a result, activities and meetings scheduled in Meeting Maker 8.6 during the extended DST dates will be automatically adjusted to the correct time, thus eliminating any scheduling confusion or loss in productivity.

“Meeting Maker has always been a solution designed to help users increase productivity through innovative and reliable group scheduling,” said Ann Hamann, vice president of marketing at PeopleCube. “We, as a company, addressed the Daylight Saving Time extension mandate aggressively in order to help make this transition as smooth as possible for our customers and to ensure that they are able to sustain productivity and efficiency once the new DST goes into effect.”

In addition, the latest release of Meeting Maker is now compatible with NotifyLink for Meeting Maker, a new mobile calendaring and email solution from Notify Technology Corporation, a PeopleCube strategic partner. NotifyLink for Meeting Maker enables Meeting Maker users to access their calendars, email, to-do lists and address book wirelessly or via cradle synch using a Blackberry, Treo, SmartPhone or Windows Mobile device. Using NotifyLink for Meeting Maker, mobile users can view and modify existing meeting proposals; schedule new meetings; send invitations to meeting attendees; accept or decline meetings and more - all from their handheld unit. As a result, NotifyLink for Meeting Maker users are able to maintain – and even enhance productivity at any time from almost anywhere.
