Press Release Summary: New service from LightEdge Solutions will enable employees of
small and medium-sized businesses to securely access hosted Microsoft® Exchange data
on BlackBerry smartphones

Press Release Body: DES MOINES, Iowa, May 6, 2008 - LightEdge Solutions, a leading
provider of managed business services, today announced the general availability of
its hosted service for the BlackBerry solution that extends the deliverability of
LightEdge's Hosted Microsoft Exchange service. The service will allow organizations
utilizing the LightEdge Hosted Exchange environment to securely send and receive
data using LightEdge\'s new-hosted BlackBerry® Enterprise Server offering.

Customers utilizing the hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server offering from LightEdge
will be able to conveniently access their Hosted Exchange environment including
e-mail, attachments, tasks, notes and calendar events, at any time from anywhere.
Any changes, updates or deletions made from a BlackBerry smartphone will be updated
immediately and synchronized with the Hosted Exchange server, resulting in an
integrated extension of the productivity tools used in the office.

BlackBerry Enterprise Server provides a bridge between an organization\'s secure
internal environment and BlackBerry smartphones. All messages and data exchanged
between BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry smartphones are encrypted using
256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Additional security is provided
through IT policies that include password protecting the handset, resetting
passwords, enabling lockouts after a specified period of idle time and performing
remote locks or data wipes if the device is lost or stolen.


"With the pace of business today, mobile communication is becoming a necessity for
businesses of all sizes, however it has been too expensive and time-consuming for
businesses with no internal IT resources to deploy a truly scalable and secure
internal platform," said Jim Masterson, chairman and CEO of LightEdge Solutions.
"By integrating a BlackBerry Enterprise Server with our existing Microsoft Exchange
environment we can now offer our customers a hosted solution that provides the best
of all worlds - a communication package that allows employees to be productive both
in and out of the office, while ensuring the security and integrity of valuable
business information."

BlackBerry Enterprise Server integration is just one of the many ways that LightEdge
Solutions is continuing to fulfill the vision of integrating the technologies
related to voice, data and IT to better meet the needs of small and medium-sized
businesses. The company's 2008 launch plan includes several other new hosted and
managed services that will help business owners increase productivity, improve
accessibility and reduce costs without time-consuming and expensive internal IT
work.
