Parature Named A “Best Place To Work in Greater Washington” by Washington Business Journal

Company is One of the Regions Top 50 Best Places to Work for Third Consecutive Year

Vienna, VA - June 8, 2007 - Parature, a global leader in on-demand customer support and help desk software, announced today their recognition as one of the region’s best places to work by Washington Business Journal at their annual breakfast awards program Thursday, June 7th at the Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner. The award recognizes the company’s achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.

Along with sponsors Littler Mendelson, Reznick Group and Quantum Market Research, the Business Journal presented the results of quantitative employee surveys to the crowd of 600. Parature ranked sixth in the midsize company category and was among 49 diverse companies hailing from virtually every business sector. The top companies were selected from a pool of more than 300 nominations.

The top companies are also profiled in a special supplement in the June 8th edition of Washington Business Journal.

Parature scored high marks in all areas of the survey including strength of the management team, opportunity for advancement, workplace morale, employment benefits and value of employee skills. Parature employees noted the company’s exciting and interactive environment as a differentiator over other companies. Establishing ‘Five Guys Fridays’ when award-winning food from Five Guys Burgers & Fries restaurants is brought in for all employees to enjoy at no cost, holding corporate quarterly meetings off-site at AMC Movie Theaters and quarterly celebrations at local hot spots, such as Maggiano’s, as well as participating in fun cross company activities like ping-pong, basketball, soccer, and foosball tournaments adds a level of interaction that makes working collaboratively day-to-day with co-workers very relaxed, enjoyable, and productive.

“It is an honor to be named one of 50 ‘best places to work’ in greater Washington, D.C. for the third consecutive year, particularly considering the extraordinary business community that exists in this area.” stated Duke Chung, Parature CEO and President. “It is our resolve, at Parature, to not only build a successful company, but to encourage our employee’s personal and professional growth while simultaneously creating a culture that is challenging, motivational, and fun.”
