Salary.com CompPlanner Awarded Top HR Product of the Year by Human Resource Executive Magazine

Needham, MA,October 6th, 2004--Salary.com, a leading provider of compensation solutions, announced today that its compensation planning application, CompPlanner, has received the Human Resource Executive's "Top HR Products" Award.

Each year Human Resource Executive identifies the ten best human resources products that have been introduced to the market during the year. Winners are selected based on the level of innovation offered by the product, the value it brings to the HR function, its intuitiveness and ease-of-use, and its ability to deliver on its promises.

Human Resource Executive Magazine commented: "Pulling from its compensation expertise, Salary.com has built a solution that's flexible and rich in functionality. The software is unique in that it addresses the entire comp-management lifecycle-from modeling and design to administration and evaluation-and is able to accommodate multiple pay programs, including both short-term and long-term incentive plans." The magazine continues to say, "Not to be overlooked as well is Salary.com's unique 'software-as-a-service' pricing model, which is intended to keep IT investment costs to a minimum."

We are very pleased to have been recognized by Human Resource Executive for this prestigious award," said Kent Plunkett, founder and CEO of Salary.com. "It is a validation of our commitment to customer success by developing innovative, decision-ready solutions that help companies improve their compensation effectiveness, efficiency and productivity."

Customers have adopted CompPlanner as a key component of their compensation management and pay-for-performance strategy.

Digitas was able to take advantage of CompPlanner's rapid deployment to receive immediate timesavings and ROI.
