CGN Partners with Unanet Technologies in Delivering UnaPDA

CHICAGO, IL, January 2, 2002 – CGN, a premier provider of Technology Powered Solutions for BusinessSM and Unanet Technologies, .the pioneer of 100% Web-based workforce optimization tools that increase corporate value, have announced the official launch of UnaPDA, an exciting new product in the Unanet suite.

UnaPDA for Palm OSTM based devices extends the power and flexibility of Unanet’s flagship Web Timesheet and Web Expense Report to PDA devices for off-line entry of project time, leave, and business expenses. Now in a disconnected mode, the road warrior can record hours and expenses incurred against assignments when it is convenient with a tap of a stylus. UnaPDA appears and behaves like its web-based parent, using the same dropdown lists and buttons and enforcing the same set of business rules, like project and task assignments and DCAA audit trail. With a single HotSync, a UnaPDA user can merge the time and expense data between the two platforms and reload the PDA database with the latest project and task information.

John M. Damgaard, CGN Vice-President of Operations commented, “Leveraging our core strength in delivering industrial-strength software, we’ve assembled one of the most impressive resumes in the mobile solutions area. Our involvement in bringing the UnaPDA product to market was a natural fit. CGN is a long-time, satisfied Unanet customer as they have consistently delivered quality products that streamline our core professional services business processes and provide us with low total cost of ownership costs. We are quite pleased that our relationship with Unanet Technologies has grown into a holistic one.”

Frances Craig, Unanet Technologies President explained, “Over the years, Unanet Technologies has developed the Unanet suite through intensive collaboration with our customers, our partners, and our employees. An early adopter of the Unanet products, CGN suggested the UnaPDA module. Already in evaluation of other vendors for this module, we decided to seriously consider the CGN proposal. In the end, it was a good decision for both of us. As a long-time customer, CGN understood the Unanet data model and business rules. Our two development teams worked well to craft a product that met the Unanet look and feel and the business rules.”
