competencies in Information Worker Solutions, and SOA and Business Process
Solutions, recognizing YASH's expertise and impact in the technology marketplace.
As a Gold Certified Partner, YASH has demonstrated expertise with Microsoft
technologies and a proven ability to meet customers' needs. Microsoft Gold
Certified Partners receive a rich set of benefits, including access, training and
support, giving them a competitive advantage in the channel.

YASH has demonstrated expertise in multiple areas including enterprise application
integration, implementation, upgrade and maintenance for packaged application
solutions and design, development and maintenance of custom applications for global
customers. Examples of industry verticals that YASH has provided Microsoft
solutions include:
. Information Worker Solutions in Portals and Collaboration-Manufacturing,
Financial, and Chemical
. SOA and Business Process-Retail, Manufacturing, and Hospitality
. Business Intelligence-Real Estate and Technology

Our ability to consistently execute with high caliber teams has been a major factor
in attaining the Gold level partnership. In addition, with our recent expansion of
offshore development offices, customers can take advantage of flexible delivery
models that best fit with their strategic directions.

"We are proud to be in the select league of Microsoft Gold Certified Partners, as
this allows us to promote our high level of expertise around Microsoft's products
and technologies, besides attaining customer recognition for our competencies which
are now certified by Microsoft," said Hari Vyakarnam, Vice President of Alliances
for YASH.

"Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between their
business demands and technology capabilities," said Allison Watson, corporate vice
president of the Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. "They need to trust in
a company that can act as an expert adviser for their long-term strategic technology
plans. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners, which have certified expertise and direct
training and support from Microsoft, can build a positive customer experience with
our technologies. Today, Microsoft recognizes YASH Technologies as a new Gold
Certified Partner for demonstrating its expertise in providing customer satisfaction
using Microsoft products and technology."

As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status, YASH had to
declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies are designed to help
differentiate a partner's capabilities with specific Microsoft technologies to
customers looking for a particular type of solution. Each Competency has a unique
set of requirements and benefits, formulated to accurately represent the specific
skills and services that partners bring to the technology industry. Within select
Competencies, there are Specializations that focus on specific solution areas that
recognize deeper expertise within that Competency. Serving as a specialized path to
earning those Competencies, Specializations give direct access to the tools and
resources that support that specific area of focus.

YASH distinguished itself by earning two competencies in Information Worker
Solutions, and SOA and Business Process Solutions. These customer approved
competency areas showcase YASH's long-standing reputation as a leading provider of
Microsoft products and solutions. YASH offers three flexible, global delivery
models for Microsoft capabilities-offshore, onsite, and offsite. Some examples of
YASH's reputable services that utilize Microsoft technologies include:
. YASH's launch of a proprietary Portal Accelerator program for specific industry
verticals
. Microsoft Office Sharepoint Solutions (MOSS) integration with leading ERP
solutions such as SAP

"Partners play a critical role in delivering solutions and applications to customers
with the Microsoft Office system," said Chris Capossela, corporate vice president of
the Product Management Group, Microsoft Business Division at Microsoft Corp. "The
value of solutions competencies is that they enable Microsoft to deliver resources
and training to partners meeting their customer needs. And for partners, the
opportunity to highlight their expertise to customers is tremendous in the growing
information worker solutions market."

The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in October 2003 and represents
Microsoft's ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The program
offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes partner expertise,
rewards the total impact that partners have in the technology marketplace, and
delivers more value to help partners' businesses be successful.
