Press Release Body: In late January, Sage Software announced a newly restructured
ISV (Independent Software Vendor) program, which provides new services designed to
expand the company\'s third-party software development community working with the
company\'s Business Management Division (BMD). The Sage Software BMD Development
Partner Program now is consolidated and simplified across all BMD product lines, so
development partners enjoy consistent program benefits, incentives and revenue
opportunities. The program also will provide greater quality assurance and breadth
of industry-specific solutions available from Sage Software BMD accredited
developers.

As process manufacturing, formula-based manufacturers continue to grow, they needed
to find the best process manufacturing technology solution and conclude in record
number that Escape Velocity Systems (EVS) is best able to address the unique
requirements of this sector. Evan Garber, President of Boulder, Colorado-based
Escape Velocity Systems (www.evs-sw.com) recently announced that it has been named
an Endorsed Development Partner for Sage Software.


Sage Software\'s business management software portfolio includes award-winning
brands, such as Sage MAS 90 ERP, Sage Accpac ERP and Sage SalesLogix, which have
hundreds of thousands of customers supported by more than 5,000 business partners.
Consequently, Sage Software has amassed more than 700 ISVs that have extended the
value of Sage Software products through the development and integration of a diverse
range of products, including document imaging, mobile access, EDI, specialty
manufacturing and others. The Sage Software Development Partner Program gives
successful ISVs development tools, a large potential customer base and marketing
benefits to enable these valuable business partners to improve their
revenue-generating opportunities.


As an Endorsed Development Partner for Sage Software, Escape Velocity Systems meets
the rigorous strategic, technology and integration criteria and was eligible by
invitation only. In addition to all Gold program benefits, Endorsed partners, like
Escape Velocity Systems will receive quarterly consultations with Sage Software
research and development managers, architects and designers; assistance creating a
joint go-to-market plan for their solutions; access to Sage Software solution
consultants trained to demo Endorsed partner solutions; access to a dedicated
Endorsed partner technical newsgroup hosted by Sage Software; promotion on Sage
Software\'s web sites; and prominent inclusion in Sage Software marketing vehicles.

Gold and Endorsed Development Partners are required to have a minimum of one \"Sage
Software Certified Solution\" in their respective product offerings. The designation
as a Sage Software Certified Solution identifies for potential customers and
reselling business partners that the solution is reliable and developed to the
highest standards.

\"The new Development Partner Program will add incredible value to products that we
deliver to our mutual process manufacturing customers, and we look forward to taking
advantage of the many benefits the program offers,\" noted Garber a long-time member
of the Sage Software Development community. \"The program will enable us to work more
closely with the development team at Sage Software, which in turn will help us
create software with greater functionality and tighter integration.\"



Escape Velocity Systems (EVS) was formed in 2001 to combine specific industry
knowledge related to process manufacturing, distribution, and ERP implementations
with cutting edge software development. The company focus is to create tools that
enable mid-market enterprises to achieve their goals, focusing on lean processes and
ROI. According Garber, "We realize that good ERP software is the hub of
information in any process manufacturing enterprise. Timely, reliable, and
centralized data are non-negotiable elements for businesses competing in the 21st
century. We are proud to be invited to be a Sage Software Development Partner."
