iamindependent Launches Website and Two Distinct Services for the Contingent Workforce Market.

Tenafly, NJ, April 23, 2001 - iamindependent announces today the launch of its Website www.iamindependent.com, and the Web introduction of its two unique services, Iconas and MyWorkZone, which address the needs of the rapidly expanding contingent workforce market. iamindependent is a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) company, capable of administering all the accounting, benefits, insurances, retirement plans, expenses and tax filings for independent professionals and the organizations that engage them.

iamindependent was founded in response to the radical changes in the labor market for professional services on a contingent or project basis. Industry reports indicate that by 2010, 25% of the workforce will be outsourced. The present population of independent professionals has already increased by 21% since 1995.

“With approximately 1.8 million independent professionals in Information Technology and millions more in other disciplines such as marketing and sales, management consulting, engineering, legal, and creative, we saw a need to provide risk mitigation and BPO services for companies that use independent professionals, and for the individuals themselves. As a result we have developed two distinguished services - Iconas (Independent Contractor Aggregation Solution) for the hiring organizations, and MyWorkZone for the independent professionals. These services are not only cost effective, they also help reduce our customer’s potential risks, and their implementation is seamless to both independent professionals and the organizations that engage them,” said Michael Beygelman, President, CEO, and co-founder of iamindependent.

Iconas specifically concentrates on the corporate needs of cost containment, legal issues surrounding “Work for Hire” and “Independent Contractor” relationships, retention and more. Through Iconas, companies can offer cost-effective health, liability, and retirement benefits to their contingent workforce. Iconas’ unique suite of benefits, tailored to each specific customer, can help corporations attract and retain hard to find talent and easily manage their contingent workforce.

MyWorkZone is designed for independent professionals as a smarter solution for handling the administrative and career challenges and opportunities that these individuals are often presented with. iamindependent, through MyWorkZone and it’s dedicated customer service, offers independent professionals all the benefits and perks of being full time employees without the administrative stresses and legal risks of being self-employed.

“We are very proud to have launched our Website, as it will serve as a valuable reference tool to both our existing customers and the site’s visitors. It reflects the knowledge and the decades of experience that the management team of iamindependent has in the tax, financial services, recruiting and HR industries, all combined with a keen understanding of the hiring organization, staffing company, and consultant needs to affect a lucrative and productive relationship. We have built a sophisticated infrastructure with proven success,” states Mr. Beygelman.
