FORT WORTH, Texas, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Building upon 32 years of leadership in the HRMS marketplace, NOW Solutions Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Vertical Computer Systems, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: VCSY - News), celebrated their second international users conference, April 18-22, 2004, in Niagara Falls.
NOW Solutions Users Conference 2004 was a grand success and another milestone for NOW Solutions and their users community. Over 120 conference attendees throughout North America retreated from daily workplace demands to strategize future product direction, learn new technology and functionality, and preview the latest vendor solutions. Three generous corporate sponsors were showcased at this year's conference.
The conference program featured over 40 general and educational sessions, as well as discussion forums dealing with a variety of topics such as human resources, payroll, and information technology. The conference was generously packed with five days of emPath® education, professional development, quality user experiences, and some down time to network and enjoy the splendour of Niagara Falls and the region. At the conclusion of the conference, delegates returned home with new ideas and an expanded network of contacts sharing one common theme -- "The Power is NOW!"
Very evident at this year's users conference, the continued support and growth of NOW Solutions' users community is definitive proof that NOW Solutions remains the undisputed leader in the HRMS marketplace. Feedback from the delegates was overwhelmingly positive.

We came away from the conference, feeling like we are well positioned to expand our use of emPath® and prepare for future efficiencies and enhancements." Another delegate shared, "This was my first conference. It was extremely well organized, there was something for everyone. The experience exceeded my expectations.
