ClickSoftware Provides its Customers with a Set of Ready to Deploy Extensible Mobile Business Apps

ClickSoftware launches ServiceOptimization Suite Version 8.1.6 which includes a first batch of mobile business apps

BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, February 23, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd [http://www.clicksoftware.com ]. (NasdaqGS: CKSW), the
leading provider of automated workforce management and optimization solutions
[http://www.clicksoftware.com/solutions/index.asp ] for the service industry, today
launched version 8.1.6 of its Workforce Management Platform. In addition, the latest
release provides rich functional enhancements to ClickSoftware's scheduling, business
intelligence, forecasting and employee rostering solutions.

    The new mobile business apps enable ClickSoftware's customers to rapidly build,
configure, deploy and update important mobile business functionality including field
sales, employee collaboration, timesheets, employee safety, business workflow, navigation
and location, allowing for even greater workforce flexibility and productivity. Service
businesses now have the freedom to configure and deploy as many or as few apps as required
in order to best fit the needs of their workforce. Easily integrated with existing
enterprise systems, ClickSoftware's mobility solutions, including the new apps, are device
agnostic and are able to run on almost any tablet or smart phone.

    "By further harnessing the power of our already efficient mobile solutions,
ServiceOptimization Suite 8.1.6 further increases mobile workforce productivity, while
adding to overall end-client satisfaction," said Dr. Moshe BenBassat, Chairman and CEO of
ClickSoftware. "The problem for enterprises is that employees today use individual,
unconnected apps in order to bridge the gap between consumer apps and enterprise systems.
By incorporating all the functionality that mobile workers require, such as GPS directions
alongside a client work order and address, ClickSoftware is creating an efficient,
all-in-one mobile solution available anywhere, at any time, on any device."

    ServiceOptimization Suite 8.1.6 contains many enhancements including:

   
    - Enhancement of the Platform's predictive task duration intelligence
      leveraging information from recent history to better predict future task durations.
      For service businesses, this provides greater accuracy and predictability in creating
      and executing their schedules.
    - Technical enhancements to ClickSchedule's web-client interface and appointment
      booking processes providing unrivalled response times.
    - The introduction of a web-client interface for ClickAnalyze. The new version
      of ClickAnalyze Reporting places greater control in the hands of the users giving them
      flexible data manipulation techniques, on the fly, and visualizing the results using
      graphs.

    ClickSoftware has included the new business Apps within the release of
ServiceOptimization Suite 8.1.6 as a precursor to the full-scale launch of the
ClickAppStore which is coming soon.
