Tampa, Fla. – (October 17, 2003) – Lovett Miller & Co. is pleased to announce that its portfolio company, Employease Inc., the leading provider of on-demand HR and benefits administration solutions, was selected by Forbes Magazine for its 'Best of the Web' award in the Human Resources category.

"It's an honor to be chosen for the prestigious 'Best of the Web' award by Forbes," said Phil Fauver, chief executive officer of Employease. "The award is part of broader momentum and adoption of our solutions in the marketplace, as the close of the third quarter marks our 24th consecutive quarter of revenue growth. We look forward to continuing to provide organizations with the power to choose the right blend of software and services to exceed their HR and benefits administration needs."

The company's applications include applicant tracking, analytical reporting, benefits administration, employee self-service, open enrollment, manager self service, performance management, leave management, and connectivity to internal systems, benefit providers and other service providers.
