ATLAS ERGONOMICS, LLC COMPLETES DEVELOPMENT OF LEVEL 1.0 SOFTWARE

Grand Haven, MI- Atlas Ergonomics, LLC (AE) announces that it has completed development of level 1.0 software, which assists furniture manufacturers, dealers, and practitioners (physical therapists and ergonomists) to create more profitable pain-reduced office environments for their corporate customers. The patent-pending technology helps corporate clients reduce the spiraling costs of poorly designed and ill-fitting office environments, resulting in lower exposure to medical and worker's compensation claims, and improved productivity.

"Our goals are to support a stronger value proposition for new site corporate clients, by reducing work related injury cost and liability, with a lower furniture investment." said Jim Landsman, President of AE. Jim went on to say; "We also create a solid distribution channel to the $5.0 billion installed site market segment, where corporate dollars are typically tied to safety budgets and not capital expenditure approvals."

The AE service is uniquely comprehensive, data driven, and not only focuses on reducing the costs of the problem, but also the costs of the solution. The Ergonomic Operating System(tm) assesses the individual risk of employees of any size organization. The system then sorts through the product offerings of a manufacturer or multiple manufacturers, and provides a list of buying options tailored to the individual's needs, while simultaneously focusing on reducing the overall investment by the corporate client. Once the purchase decisions are made, AE 'fits' the furniture chosen, by providing individual settings or placement information for the chair, keyboard mechanism, work surface, document holder, task light, and telephone. Training is provided through a coordinated effort of the system and a practitioner, and guides each user through the correct use of the specific products purchased for them. Finally, employee health and productivity is monitored by the system and the results are communicated to the responsible corporate team.

Drew Bossen, Vice President of AE commented, "Our level 1.0 software will support our beta site activities and help introduce the system to the market." Drew went on to say, "Over the next 4-5 months, we will complete level 2.0 'market-ready' development and begin to create the dealer/practitioner partnerships required to support the installed site market segment."

The Ergonomic Operating System(tm) can be seen at www.atlasergo.com. Dealers interested in participating within the installed site distribution network can contact the organization through the website.
