Press Release Body: TRAVERSE CITY, MI - October 15, 2008 - Appia Communications, a
leading provider of managed IT and telecom services, today announced a new case
study featuring The CPA Group, an accounting and business consulting firm in
Missouri.

IT consulting firm WSRB recommended solutions from Appia and Cyberian Technologies
for The CPA Group, which had outgrown and overwhelmed its existing systems.

"We needed a system in place that would integrate two offices, enable us to work
from multiple locations, allow for growth, and work with our existing software
suite," said The CPA Group's Kurt Krueger. "Most importantly, we needed increased
speed and efficiency, and a system that would be easy to manage."

A comprehensive review from WSRB, equipment expertise from Cyberian, and a hosted
VoIP solution from Appia combined to solve these issues, plus provide disaster
recovery and mobility capabilities that have proved valuable.

"Everything just works," said Krueger. "We're able to serve our clients better."
