PRAISE LIBERALLY DOLED ON NEW SOFTWARE SUITE

(POTOMAC, MD)--Praise was liberally doled (sic) out at the product launch of the new TeleworkAudits^(TM) and TeleworkAnalysys^(TM) software suite. Conference delegates, to Telecommute `96 in Phoenix AZ, interacted live to help create the teleworking data set that was, before their very eyes, turned into 11 reports. The power of the suite was further demonstrated when several "what-ifs" were generated by modifying some of the 104 adjustable standard costs. The total process, from data capture to report production, took under 90 minutes! Hard copies of the reports were made for each of the 240 attendees.

Three sets of the TeleworkAudits^(TM) and TeleworkAnalysys^(TM) software suite (worth approximately $900 each) were won by attendees from: Bay Networks, Inc., Government Services, Canada, and a County Government in Minnesota.

Telework Analytics International, Inc. (TAI), the innovative leader in telecommuting software, has released TeleworkAnalysys^(TM). It is a unique Windows®-based program that helps determine the economic viability of telecommuting and the best candidates to pursue it without the risk of exposing sensitive information to outside consultants and competitors.

Using an easy point-and-click format, the suite of programs enables an organization to evaluate the cost effectiveness of telecommuting before investing time, energy, and money in the adoption of what may seem to some a speculative policy. Analyses can be customized to accommodate any organization's unique financial structure.

The analysis methodology combines proven empirical case study results with accountancy practice and HR principles. With 104 standard costing elements, 68 job description headings, 54 attitudinal considerations, and the ability ot create "what-if" scenarios, TeleworkAnalysys^(TM) provides a fast-track to telecommuting by producing rapid answers to telecommuting and teleworking related questions.

A TeleworkAudits^(TM) personal mini demo is online at http://www.teleworker.com/sample.html. The results can be downloaded and printed.

"Telecommuting is clearly here to stay," said John Edwards, Executive Director of TAI. "Two-thirds of Fortune 100 companies already have telecommuting programs. Our software cuts through the confusion and reduces the risk of costly mistakes when making telecommuting decisions." Employers can save $4,000 - $10,000 per year on office space alone and some estimates put the total employer savings as equal to the entire salary of the telecommuting employee.

The TeleworkAudits^(TM) and TeleworkAnalysys^(TM) suite costs under $50 per employee. It runs under Microsoft® Windows® 3.1+, Windows® 95, and Windows® NT. Results are downloaded into Excel® 5 or 7 for further customized analysis.

TAI is a private, for-profit company whose founders have more than 20 years teleworking experience in both Europe and the US.
