Computer Software Alliance, Inc.
Named IBM Premier Business Partner

July 29, 2004 -- Houston TX -- Computer Software Alliance, Inc. (CSA) announced today that IBM has named CSA as an IBM Premier Business Partner. Premier status is awarded only to a select group of IBM Business Partners.

The IBM Premier Business Partner designation is part of IBM's PartnerWorld program, which consists of three membership levels: Member, Advanced and Premier. IBM requires its Premier Business Partners to fulfill extensive and up-to-date product training requirements. Also, being an IBM Premier Business Partner signifies that the Business Partner has committed to deliver a high level of proven customer satisfaction, measured annually by an IBM-selected independent survey company.

"IBM Premier Business Partners are selected based on their proven implementation skills and expertise in creative problem solving, innovative services and IBM technologies. Our partnership with IBM has long been a critical factor in our success and the success of our customers," said Robert Navarrete CSA president. "Now, as an IBM Premier Business Partner, CSA can further assist its customers by bringing increased access to the resources of IBM as well."

CSA's team of experienced sales representatives and certified engineers have more than 50 years of combined experience with Informix and IBM software products. Our team includes former members of the Lenexa, Kansas based Informix sales and support staff allowing us to add their experience to that of our existing software group. Our in-house staff of IBM and Informix System Engineers -- and our entire technical support staff -- are focused on providing a superior level of "pre" and "post" sale technical support to our customers aimed at meeting their objectives and in turn, our own.

CSA's principals have been providing software solutions and consulting for nearly 10 years and specialize in complex Enterprise Messaging, Upgrade or Migration services, Collaborative Solutions, Custom Application Development, Domino Application Web Development, Project Management, and Technical or End User training. CSA supplies an assessment of technology needs and delivers projects from start to finish while keeping customer service and job quality a high priority. The CSA client list includes firms in the health care, oil and gas, telecommunications, and financial sectors.

"As an IBM Premier Business Partner, CSA has access to IBM's wide range of technical and business support services quickly and simply," said Shoby John, CSA vice president and Chief Technology Officer. "Attaining IBM Premier Business Partner status includes requirements to have a specified number of IBM-certified staff to ensure that our customers get timely, appropriate and effective advice and support. We've met IBM's high level of standards and we're steadily increasing both our staffing and our expertise."

Under terms of the agreement, CSA and IBM will work together to market, distribute and support IBM products to small, medium and enterprise class customers.
