PRINCETON, NJ –June 24, 2004 – viaPeople, Inc., leading human asset management software and consulting services company, announced today that theyve been selected by Lands' End, Inc. one of the nations largest catalog retailers and subsidiary of Sears, Roebuck and Co.

"We wanted a solution that contained valuable employee development features but was also easy to use and implement," says Collette Clemens, of Lands' End Training and Development. "We have a wide-range of employees with varying levels of computer skills so we needed a very intuitive system. We also chose viaPeople because they could configure their 360 solution around our process rather then requiring our process to change in order to fit their technology," adds Clemens.

"Our software products are flexible and are designed by Industrial Organizational Psychologists to facilitate and enhance our client's processes rather than requiring them to change," adds Groehler.

"viaPeople has established an excellent working relationship with our team at Lands' End by consistently going above and beyond our expectations and offering the flexibility in their solution as well as the expertise of their consulting group", says Clemens.
