Replicon Inc., a Calgary start-up, has a new software product called Promax, which measures employee productivity. The product is aimed at professionals - lawyers, engineers, consultants - who bill by the hour. It allows employers to set billable hour targets for employees, project teams or an entire company, and receive real-time feedback on whether those targets are being met.

Replicon hopes to stem a mid-2001 slowdown in sales growth by promoting its software (which has already garnered half a million users in three years) as an affordable upgrade for firms whose major fibre optic systems and global financial networks have been pushed to the back burner.

Tobacco product giant Philip Morris uses Replicon's Web TimeSheet to automate and streamline their employee timesheet approval processes. Employees, managers, and human resources administrators of Philip Morris are saving time, tasks, and costs with Web TimeSheet.

ProMax software provides managers with a reliable barometer of workers’ productivity.

Replicon Inc., a high tech company specializing in web-based solutions, is leading the way in meeting these needs. Creating products to tackle workplace productivity issues such as human resource and administration systems, Calgary-based Replicon offers world leading products to simplify payroll, billing, project management and costing, and expense reporting activities.

Replicon CEO John Eddy is, to coin a phrase, an anti-spin-ite. He holds views that are anathema to the high-tech PR establishment. "I don't use the words B2B and ASP to describe my business," he says. Instead he concerns himself with asking questions like: "What are a business' migraine headaches?" and finding cost-saving answers.
