UTRECHT, The Netherlands, December 15 /PRNewswire/ --

- Release 6 is Faster and Easier to Integrate, Customize and Administer 
for Organizations who Need to Find Qualified Employees or Verify Identity

WCC Services, the leading provider of smart search and match
technologies, today announced that version 6 of its flagship product, ELISE,
is now available. In today's challenging economic times, companies may
receive hundreds of applicants for each job opening making it difficult to
find the right person for the job. Security concerns are also at peak levels,
requiring many organizations to quickly combine multiple biometric data
points in a single search to accurately verify a person's identity. The
latest version of ELISE addresses both of these customer needs and was
designed to be easier to integrate, administer and customize without
sacrificing performance or speed.

"Version 6 of ELISE was developed in direct response to our customers
needs today," said Peter Went, CEO of WCC Services. "ELISE 6 maintains the
high-performance standards our customers have come to expect, but is also
faster, easier and more cost-efficient so that organizations can quickly
integrate it with their current systems and customize its modules to better
fit their specific matching requirements."

Faster and More Cost-Effective

ELISE 6 has been redesigned to enhance overall performance and give it a
smaller footprint. This improved design reduces hardware costs without
sacrificing speed. ELISE 6 can now run natively as either 32-bit or 64-bit,
thus making full use of the latest advancements in CPU architecture.

Easier to Integrate

The ELISE matching API has been revised to ease legacy database
integration along with the implementation of advanced matching solutions to
make set-up faster and easier. In addition, WCC has extended ELISE's
functionality with several new features, including:

- Contextual navigation and sorting of the result set using any number of
      properties

    - New internal architecture to reduce network traffic, decreasing the
      average match time and increasing the system capacity.

Easier to Administer and Optimize

ELISE 6 also contains powerful new administration tools, which have been
grouped with all the existing tools in a new module called 'ELISE Studio'.
ELISE Studio simplifies the integration process to allow system engineers and
developers to implement ELISE 6, for example, in a Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA). ELISE Studio gives system administrators better control
over events planning, easing implementation and administration. The product
will also support business users and analysts by providing better insight
into the behavior of the system and allowing parameters to be easily adjusted
to 'tune' ELISE for a particular job matching application. New components
automatically generate textual and structured affinities, reducing the time
required to build and maintain the ELISE matching rules.
