SMB Marketplace Benefits From Software Collaboration: Mangrove and SaaS.com Strengthen Bridge Between Two On Demand Applications

BRIDGEWATER, NJ – June 29, 2007 – WebApps, Inc. a.k.a. SaaS.com, a leading provider of Software as a Service (SaaS) with a major push in Time and Labor Management, and Mangrove Software, a leading provider in web-based Human Resource, Payroll, and Self-Service solutions, have joined forces to provide users with the ability to seamlessly exchange information between the two systems when implemented together. The new, bi-directional interface comes as a response from both companies to a current demand within the Small to Medium-Sized Business (SMB) marketplace.

The strategic alliance between SaaS.com and Mangrove allows both companies to expand market reach within their respective channels by providing users with more complete, easier to use applications that offer one point of data entry. By eliminating duplicate data entry, manual errors are avoided and valuable time and energy is spent on more productive business functions. Only a few key points of information are necessary to complete the synch between the two applications. Once settings are preconfigured, new hires as well as edits to employee-related records created in Mangrove’s software automatically appear in SaaS.com’s software. Time and labor data reviewed and approved in SaaS.com’s software is also readily available in Mangrove’s software to process checks, make appropriate withholdings, and execute other payroll related calculations. The bridge between both applications is transparent to the user.

“Since joint users of SaaS.com’s and Mangrove’s software continually provide positive feedback about their experience using the applications, and the number of payroll service bureaus who use both applications continues to grow, the decision to further integrate was pretty clear,” stated SaaS.com’s CIO Dmitry Korsunsky. “The creation of this data synch is a win-win situation for all parties involved: SaaS.com, Mangrove, and most importantly, the users of both applications.”

“We continuously strive to develop new options to create efficiencies for Mangrove clients. Partnering with SaaS.com provides yet another vehicle to meet the diverse needs of SMBs,” Richard Cangemi, CEO of Mangrove Employer Services, stated. “Together, we can leverage advanced time and labor management, compensation management, and human resource management, letting our customers enjoy a complete, fully-integrated, easy-to-use workforce solution.”

The data synch has proven to be quite beneficial for users of both applications. “We have been very pleased by how seamless information flows between Mangrove’s HR/Payroll application and SaaS.com’s system,” said Coray A. Grove, Principal of Integrated Payroll Services, which utilizes both systems. “SaaS.com’s import mapping and automated synchs coupled with Mangrove’s XML Web Services capabilities make this process automatic and simple for our clients.”
