Mountain States Employers Council Selects PDS’ Vista Solution
to Complement its HR Consulting Services

Blue Bell, Pa., October 9, 2006 – PDS, an award-winning developer of web-based human resource and payroll systems, today announced that its Vista HRMS (Human Resource Management System) has been selected by Mountain States Employers Council, a non-profit membership organization serving more than 2,500 companies in the Rocky Mountain Region, as a hosted online payroll, human resources and benefits administration solution. Vista will complement the Council’s current strategic initiative of growing its Human Resource Outsourcing business, known as MSEC OneSource.

The new offering will enable small and midsized businesses to entrust their payroll, human resources and benefits administration processing to Mountain States Employers Council. Through PDS’ hosted/managed service model, the Council member organizations will be able to access their data via a secure Internet connection without requiring the support of an in-house IT department.

“PDS is an established HRMS software and service provider,” said Michael Severns, president and CEO of Mountain States Employers Council. “Its hosting capabilities enable us to establish an infrastructure to offer our member community a valuable service that is a perfect complement to our existing HR consulting services.”

“Mountain States Employers Council has a long-standing reputation for superior customer service and outstanding quality,” said George Brady, vice president of Sales at PDS. “We are honored it has selected Vista as the solution to support its member organizations as well as the tool to handle its own HRMS processes. Through this agreement with the Council, we are developing a model that is ideal for other employer councils and similar organizations throughout the country.”
