Optimized Mobile Workforce Management System to Schedule Hundreds of Telecommunications Technicians During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games
BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, February 4 - ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. (NasdaqCM: CKSW), the leading provider of mobile workforce management and service optimization software, is proud to announce that, together with its Chinese reseller Xiangmin Technology, it has won the project to manage the field activities of hundreds of telecommunication technicians during the 2008 Olympic Games.
Following a successful pilot, ClickSoftware's ClickSchedule and ClickAnalyze solutions have been selected to optimize the scheduling operations of several hundred technicians responsible for break/fix, installation and maintenance work.

"Xiangmin is honored to win this prestigious project together with ClickSoftware," said Mr. Zheng Yang, General Manager of Xiangmin.
"Maintaining visibility and control of the mobile workforce is becoming increasingly important in a market that is experiencing phenomenal growth.
This win marks a significant breakthrough for us in China and is a sign that the Chinese market is recognizing the value of mobile workforce management software."
"We are extremely proud to contribute our share to one of the greatest spectacles in the world, the Olympic Games," said Mr. Hannan Carmeli, Chief Operating Officer at ClickSoftware. "When the eyes of the world are watching, it is critical that any faults are attended to as quickly and efficiently as possible.
