		<description>Dan,

The leading ones are not public, at least not anymore.  Two of the leading vendors were publicly traded: Kronos and Workbrain.  Kronos was acquired by Hellman &amp; Friedman and Workbrain was acquired by Infor (who is owned by Golden Gate Capital).  So, the key publicly traded vendors in Workforce Management were taken private by Private Equity firms.</description>

		<description>Jim, thanks for the small &quot;nugget&quot;... I&#039;m glad to see that there is a &#039;renewed interest&#039; in Workforce Management.  

In light of our current economic scenario, I&#039;m actually surprised that more organizations are not running towards Workforce Management as a way to reduce their labor spend.</description>
