4th Year of 50%+ Growth for 360 Scheduling

SME, NEC Birmingham, UK - 16th September 2008 - 360 Scheduling, the world's leading provider of mobile workforce scheduling, has announced 4-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 50% with a six fold year-on-year increase in the number of engineers organised by its class leading scheduling platform. This phenomenal growth looks set to continue with successful entry into the US market during 2008 and a growing number of partners choosing to integrate the 360 Dynamic Scheduling Engine into their products.

Since entering the market in 2004, 360's imperative has been to exploit the tremendous potential of the Web to produce a modern scheduling solution that easily integrates via the Internet with other field service systems using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It is this approach that is yielding results, taking scheduling, previously only affordable to large organisations, in to the mainstream.

In 2007 360 entered the French market and won the world's largest scheduling contract, which involves day-to-day scheduling of over 42,000 resources. In 2008 360 entered the US market where it now has two leading integration partners and where it signed a significant multi-million dollar contract with Dycom Industries, Inc. a leading provider of specialty engineering, construction, maintenance and installation services.

"These results are very encouraging. Our entry into the US market and early success during 2008 is particularly satisfying," said Laurent Othacéhé, CEO of 360 Scheduling. "There are over 500 US companies involved in field service with more than 1,000 engineers many of whom are looking for a modern web-based service oriented solution, which of course we have been developing for over 5 years. Elsewhere in the UK where we are based, and in Europe there is strong demand for our scheduling solutions and our prospects moving forward look very bright indeed, continued Othacéhé."
