Press Release Summary: Software as a Service provider demands SAS 70 Type II audited
environment

Press Release Body: Resolver Inc., a recognized leader in Governance, Risk and
Compliance (GRC) software solutions, announced today that they have chosen to move
hosting of their world class GRC software solutions to Fusepoint Managed Services.
Fusepoint, the leading provider of outsourced managed IT and infrastructure services
to the mid market in Canada, delivers the highest levels of managed IT services and
business continuity solutions for leading edge software companies like Resolver.

With Resolver's ever expanding list of fortune 1000 clients, ensuring a secure and
certified hosting environment is crucial. Resolver prides itself on providing the
highest quality experience for clients with their products, part of which includes
server reliability and security. Resolver was one of the first GRC vendors to
provide a completely SaaS (Software as a Service) option to their customers. The
SaaS model is gaining increasing momentum due to the extremely low cost of ownership
and speed of implementation.

"As Resolver is a GRC software solutions provider, it is very important that we
ensure our clients receive the highest standards of security and reliability for
their sites. Fusepoint allows us to do this with confidence," said Steve Taylor,
President, Resolver Inc.

"After careful consideration of several providers, Resolver has chosen to move our
software applications to Fusepoint's managed hosting environment. This decision was
based on a number of criteria, including level of service, security and Fusepoint's
SAS 70 Type II Certification," said James Patterson, Vice President Technology,
Resolver Inc.

Under the terms of the agreement Fusepoint will provide a fully managed environment
in which its certified technical support team will manage all elements of the
infrastructure, including the hardware, operating system, database, firewall
security, bandwidth, data back-up and end-to-end monitoring and reporting. In
addition Resolver will be able to leverage the investment Fusepoint has made in the
SAS 70 audit, which applies professional standards to rigorously assess the internal
controls of service organizations such as Fusepoint.

"To realize the level of performance a company such as Resolver demands, a service
provider must deliver an unwavering commitment to locking down technical processes,"
said George Kerns, President and CEO of Fusepoint. "To meet that end, Fusepoint has
achieved the highest available standards for measuring and improving data center
operations and management, namely CICA 5970, SAS 70 (Type II) audits as well as Tier
1 Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance."
