eEmpACT Software recently partnered with PureSafety to provide full integration with its Prognos Software modules designed to streamline and improve management of employee safety, workers’ compensation and disability programs. As a leader in the industry, PureSafety’s Prognos software has been deployed by more than 400 employers and third-party administrators who use the solution. Prognos integrates with eEmpACT to provide important components to help simplify and streamline everything from recording incidents and maintaining OSHA compliance to workers' compensation claim administration, integrated disability/leave management and performance benchmarking.

“The integration with Prognos is just another step in offering our clients the most robust staffing software solution on the market,” said eEmpACT President and CEO Tim Giehll. “By allowing eEmpACT users to utilize this technology with the click of a mouse provides significant benefits in managing workers’ compensation claims, which are very time- consuming and expensive in the staffing industry.”

Prognos helps control the costs of injuries after they occur, while satisfying OSHA compliance regulations. The software records, tracks, reports and measures all incidents, creating a detailed history. With more than 200 reports available, Prognos enables users to analyze countless sets of data. For eEmpACT users, this means a very efficient way to handle workers’ compensation claims by pushing data from eEmpACT over to the Prognos system where it can be effectively managed and tracked.

“We are excited about our new partnership with eEmpACT and the impact that Prognos will have for their large client base,” stated Mark VerMeulen, National Sales Manager for PureSafety’s Prognos offering. “By integrating Prognos with its software offering, eEmpACT can provide their staffing company clients with a quick and easy method to initiate workers’ compensation claims, manage return- to-work and control costs.”

Microsoft rolled out Windows Vista at retailers in 70 countries last Tuesday, delievering a new computer operating system that required a $6 billion investment from Microsoft. Windows runs on more than 95 percent of the world's computers and the long-delayed new version is the first major release of a new operating system since Windows XP in 2001.

So what does Vista mean for your eEmpACT system? Extensive testing ensures it will work just the same as it does now on your current operating system. "As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we have worked closely with Microsoft to ensure that eEmpACT Version 13 will run on Windows Vista without a hitch," said Shane Tinnin, eEmpACT VP of Development and Support. "In addition, eEmpACT 14 (available Q1 this year) will be optimized to take advantage of many of Vista's new features. We want to assure eEmpACT users that when they do eventually switch to Vista, whether it's in one year or five years, eEmpACT will support the new system without complications."

So as your business continues to grow in the coming years and you need to upgrade and purchase new computers that will come standard with Vista, you can be rest assured that eEmpACT is ready to work with the latest Microsoft technologies.
