ClickSoftware Wins ERP Executive Best of SAPPHIRE NOW Award in the Category of Best Green Initiatives

BURLINGTON, Mass., May 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CKSW), the leading provider of automated workforce management and service optimization solutions announced today that it has been recognized with an ERP Executive Best of SAPPHIRE NOW Award at SAPPHIRE NOW Frankfurt. ClickSoftware was recognized for excellence in the category of Best Green Initiatives.

"It's an honor for us to be recognized by ERP Executive magazine for our contribution to the environment," said Simon Morris, VP Marketing at ClickSoftware. "Service organizations are under increasing pressure to adopt environmentally friendly strategies and they are recognizing that automated workforce management and optimization technology can help them significantly reduce their carbon emissions. At the same time, this technology enables them to boost employee productivity, improve customer responsiveness and increase revenues from operating more efficiently."

Amit Bendov, Editor of ERP Executive, added, "This award is meant to recognize innovation that enables organizations to directly reduce environmental impact and improve efficiency. We are pleased to acknowledge ClickSoftware for their accomplishments."

ClickSoftware's automated workforce management and optimization technology, resold by SAP as SAP Workforce Scheduling & Optimization, plays a significant role in helping organizations reduce their carbon footprint. One of the ways in which it does so is by optimizing the routes of the field technicians to maximize fuel efficiency. Greater overall efficiency arises from transforming fuel cost management into overall travel management by ensuring the right people with the right skills are doing the right things at the right time. Efficiently assigning tasks to mobile workers can reduce travel by as much as 20 percent which reduces carbon emissions by many thousands of tons per year.
