NEW YORK -- MicroEdge, Inc., the world's leading provider of solutions and services for the grantmaking community, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Advent Software, (NASDAQ:ADVS), today announced that the Unocal Foundation has deployed a range of MicroEdge solutions to support their global corporate responsibility vision and strategy.

Using a multi-phased approach, the Foundation replaced their previously decentralized funding procedures with coordinated systems and processes. Now they boast a unified solution that truly connects their funding, their processes and their people.

The system provides a central access point for all corporate social responsibility programs and enables Foundation staff, business unit managers and stakeholders worldwide to access all relevant giving information and functionality, which greatly facilitates analysis, planning and evaluation. In addition, it fosters more effective communication with and reporting to one another.

"MicroEdge solutions have enhanced our business in so many respects," says Laurie Regelbrugge, manager of the Unocal Foundation. "Another noteworthy example is our ability to save approximately 75% of the 'human time' previously required to process funding applications."
