Dollar General Chooses Unanet for Software Capitalization

FAIRFAX, Virginia - Unanet Technologies, Professional Services Automation software company, announced today that Dollar General has invested in Unanet to track internal development costs for software capitalization. Dollar General is a Fortune 500® discount retailer with 6,273 neighborhood stores in 27 states as of April 4, 2003. Dollar General stores offer convenience and value to its customers, by offering consumable basics, items that are frequently used and replenished, such as food, snacks, health and beauty aids and cleaning supplies, as well as an appealing selection of basic apparel, housewares and seasonal items at everyday low prices. The typical Dollar General store has 6,700 square feet of selling space and is located within three to five miles of its target customers.

"We chose the Unanet PSA software suite to quickly improve the process of collecting labor costs for software capitalization. The implementation was very fast and the support from Unanet was fantastic. From the date we acquired Unanet until users were easily entering time required approximately 30 days. Users quickly adapted to the intuitive and easy to use Unanet web-based interface", said Dennis Krautsack, Senior Director of Information Systems at Dollar General. "With Unanet, we are also able to track support hours for internal customers and, from this information, we expect to better forecast project hours for both development and support. To provide information regarding project work, users can easily store and retrieve project notes and documents in Unanet. The extremely fast Unanet reports provide real time visibility into the work. We are eager to explore the deep functionality in Unanet to help our internal information systems organization."

"We welcome Dollar General to the Unanet customer community. Using pain-free Unanet software to automate IT processes, internal IT organizations can focus on strategic software development key to their core businesses," said Donna Kilbourn, Vice President of Business Development at Unanet Technologies. "The Dollar General information services group exemplifies the ability of a company to start small with the Unanet suite of products, with automating one process such as time management and, then, to move to the next level with additional automation for resource management and project management."
