July 1, 2005
Lake Forest, CA - Zumasys, a National IT Integrator, today announced it has attained Gold status with Microsoft, the highest level in the Microsoft Partner Program. Microsoft Gold status provides the company with early access to new products, additional technical/engineering resources and customized marketing around its wireless mobility solutions. As part of the agreement, Zumasys and Microsoft will create an expanded demo pool of Windows Mobile SmartPhones that will be used to setup mobility pilots for customers looking to test MS Exchange 2003.

To qualify for Microsoft Gold status, Zumasys earned Microsoft competencies in Network Infrastructure Solutions as well as Information Worker. Network Infrastructure highlights the expertise Zumasys is well known for in crafting infrastructure solutions that include Windows Server Solutions. Information Worker identifies partners deploying robust business applications solutions through the customization and integration of Microsoft Office tools around the Microsoft Server platforms, specifically leveraging the SharePoint family of portal tools. Under the new program Zumasys will expand its focus on 3G Wireless by developing robust mobile business applications that leverage the Microsoft Office suite running on top of the Microsoft infrastructure solutions including Windows 2003 Server, Exchange 2003 Server and Microsoft Live Communication Server.

"Our entire team worked hard to achieve Gold status and we are proud to have reached this important milestone with Microsoft. It highlights the value Microsoft products continue to bring in serving our customers and helping drive our growth" said Joe Goebel, COO of Zumasys. "Customers dealing with Zumasys can be assured that they're receiving the latest information on current and upcoming Microsoft technologies and products. This certification demonstrates to our customers that we have in-depth experience in the infrastructure arena."

To become a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, Zumasys had to meet a stringent set of qualifying standards including enhanced certification in Microsoft technologies and a portfolio of real-world customer references. The Gold Certified Partner Program is Microsoft's way of validating to customers that Zumasys has the skills and experience to provide high-quality, infrastructure solutions based on Microsoft technology. Certification helps customers identify partners by areas of specialization and those who have demonstrated ability with comparable projects. The certification is based on customer references and advanced certification requirements that demand deep technical competency in complex business solutions. Gold Partners have track records of providing innovative technical solutions in application development and project management that help mitigate customer risk and accelerate time to market.

"Our Microsoft sales have grown significantly over the last 18 months because Microsoft solutions are at the heart of every 3G Wireless solution we deploy," said Paul Giobbi, President of Zumasys. "With this expanded relationship and focus we plan to bring more compelling, unique solutions to the market that will ultimately generate more productivity for our customer's mobile workers."
