COLLECTIVE TECHNOLOGIES UNVEILS NEW HEALTHCHECK SERVICE FOR MICROSOFT EXCHANGE SERVER

Consulting Services Experts Ensure Customers Get Reliable and Fast Access to Email and Messaging Systems by Addressing the Performance, Reliability, and Security of Their Mission-Critical Messaging Infrastructure

Austin, TX, April 18, 2007 - Collective Technologies, an IT infrastructure solutions provider, announced today the launch of its new HealthCheck Service for Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 and 2003. This onsite service provides a complete, in-depth analysis of the performance, reliability, and security of a client's critical messaging infrastructure and deploys the same top-of-the-line consultants that Microsoft and other companies rely upon to solve their most pressing email issues around their current Microsoft Exchange Server implementation or in preparation for a move to Microsoft Exchange 2007.

"Many companies suffer from sub-optimally and/or misconfigured Exchange Server implementations, which can have a negative impact upon current system performance and stability. Collective Technologies' HealthCheck helps businesses to recognize these deficiencies and to significantly increase system performance through tuning and reconfiguration," stated Ed Taylor, CEO of Collective Technologies. "Our expert consultants work closely with a customer's IT staff to ensure that their email and messaging systems deliver the availability, performance, and security required to ensure that they're receiving the full value of their messaging investment on their existing platforms and are prepared for any pending migration."

Collective Technologies is one of an elite group of companies that are Microsoft National Systems Integrators (NSI). These companies focus on delivery and marketing strategies across multiple geographies and product segments. "Microsoft is pleased that as a National Systems Integrator, Collective Technologies has taken the lead and developed this service around Exchange Server," said Jennifer Bogdalek, Director Managed NSI, Microsoft Corporation. "Collective Technologies' HealthCheck for Exchange Server is an asset to companies and organizations who have been chosen Exchange Server as their messaging platform." The HealthCheck is the first in a suite of Exchange Server-focused offerings from Collective Technologies. Collective also offers migration and consolidation services and strategic advice on new versions of Exchange Server, including when and how to migrate as well as how to take advantage of its features. This service is primarily targeted at customers running Exchange Server 2000 or Exchange Server 2003, and is instrumental in helping to optimize a customer's current deployment and lays the foundations for a smooth migration to Exchange Server 2007.
