LONDON, October 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Manpower Software plc, the leading provider of workforce optimisation and e-rostering solutions in the UK healthcare market, is pleased to announce that Sunway Medical Centre (SunMed) in Selangor, Malaysia has selected Manpower Software's MAPS Healthroster solution for electronic rostering to all clinical staff. Sunway Medical Centre currently has 197 beds and is expecting this to increase to 800 beds by 2015.

Ch'ng Lin Ling, Chief Operating Officer at Sunway Medical Centre commented: The simplicity and logic flow of the solution impressed me at first sight, and as I looked deeper into each module I was assured of the solutions flexibility, ease of use and its ability to provide accurate, fair staff rosters. This convinced me it was the right solution for SunMed's staff rostering. Also the people in Manpower Software were both humble and helpful and demonstrated professionalism at all times. This is the sort of business partner we want to work with.

Key to choosing MAPS Healthroster were its proven capabilities, its ease of use and a successful Roster Assessment. The solution will replace manual time sheets which previously was a very labour intensive and time-consuming process. Expected benefits from the solution include, fairer nurse rosters, more time to care, creating a better working environment and a clear roster policy for clinical staff.

Commenting on the announcement, Ian Bowles, Manpower Software's Chief Executive Officer commented: This marks a significant milestone in our efforts to extend our market reach for workforce optimisation and electronic rostering solutions into other markets. We look forward to working with Sunway Medical Centre to build a fruitful partnership and support them in their future expansion plans.
