ADVANCED PRODUCTIVITY SOFTWARE, INC. PARTNERS WITH AIRTIME-MANAGER®ATLANTA, Ga. (August 22, 2005) - Advanced Productivity Software Inc. (APS), producers of DTE® InHand™ for the BlackBerry, mobile time entry and time tracking software, today announced a partnership with AIRTIME-Manager. Through this partnership APS and AIRTIME will operate in a cooperative alliance to market and sell the AIRTIME-A4P ("A4P") FOR PROFESSIONALS (A4P®), software solution that gives attorneys & billable professionals the ability to effortlessly record time spent on every billable call or email directly from their handheld device. DTE InHand allows attorneys to easily capture completely validated time-based billable activities and expenses directly on a Research in Motion (RIM) BlackBerry® device. AIRTIME-A4P will augment this technology by allowing users to automatically record time spent on a call or email from a handheld device. After completing a call or sending an email message, AIRTIME-A4P asks the user if time spent on that activity should be billed. The user will have the opportunity to click "Bill," "Expense" or "Neither." AIRTIME-A4P captures vital pieces of information including the contact, time of call, duration of call, Client/Matter, and other data necessary to integrate with DTE® Enterprise system. "This exciting collaboration between Advanced Productivity Software, Inc. and AIRTIME brings together two experienced sales forces with a strong understanding of the remote time entry requirements of the legal community and two applications operating together on the BlackBerry platform," said Jerry Fenzel, CEO of AIRTIME. "Together we have created the most efficient and accurate manner for attorneys to track their time resulting in increasing firm wide billable revenues and overall productivity." "The technologies from each company combine to provide a simple yet multi-faceted solution that frees the user from his desktop and takes advantage of the hardware he has InHand," said Jim Tharpe, president of APS. "When it comes down to it, if recording time becomes too cumbersome, calls and emails go unrecovered. Money is lost. This partnership delivers the most advanced turnkey solution to time entry on the go." DTE InHand for BlackBerry provides the user with intuitive fields that allow the user to input fully validated data in the same way that they easily perform entries within their DTE desktop application. DTE InHand allows timekeepers to quickly select various codes such as date, client name, matter and task codes when entering their time. In addition, attorneys are provided the functionality to precisely track hours by using the start/stop timer which automatically select incremental fraction based rounding according to client and matter configurations in the billing system. DTE InHand's licensing policy requires no upfront capital, requiring only a small user fee for those users who actually use the software each month. Similarly, the pricing for AIRTIME is also success-based, charging a transaction fee only when AIRTIME A4P is used to recover time. Both pass through client reimbursable expenses. For more information, or to schedule a demo, interested parties can contact APS at 800-783-9231 or visit the company's web site at www.aps-soft.com.
