Local support and services available globally

Calgary, AB - March 29, 2005 - M-Tech Information Technology, Inc., a leading provider of identity management solutions, today announced several new partnerships across Europe, the Middle East and Asia (EMEA).

In an effort to provide and develop more effective and locally appropriate enterprise identity management solutions, M-Tech has partnered with a number of leading technology integrators. These include Redtoo, PIDAS Aktiengesellschaft, Vintegris, CM Soft, Redynamics Asia Sdn Bhd, NESS Technologies, Innovative Security Solutions Benelux, Agreon, Longfield Limited UK, Axios Systems and ThinkWare.

"The development of these partnerships illustrates M-Tech's leadership in the global Identity Management market and the growing adoption of our solutions outside of North America," says Jamey Miles, VP Business Development. "Each of these partners offers specialized expertise and local market presence to extend the value proposition of M-Tech solutions to local customers."

M-Tech partners fall into the following categories: system integrators, managed service providers (MSPs), OEMs and certified resellers. Integrators, such as NESS Technologies in Israel, offer solution design, deployment and project management services. Managed service providers typically outsource IT operations, such as help desk services, and often license M-Tech's best of breed products on behalf of their customers, in order to meet their SLA obligations and to reduce their service delivery cost structure. Certified resellers typically assist their customers with solution design, and offer product localization and installation assistance.

M-Tech's partners are a critical link in providing local technical support, in the native language and cultural context of their customers. Our partners across EMEA add value by meeting these needs globally," says Jamey.

"Ness Technologies looked for a solution which would provide Israeli organizations with secure identity management, and following a review of various products we selected M-Tech," said David Dvorsky, manager of NessPRO- Products and Technologies Group at Ness Technologies. "M-Tech solutions complement the security products offered by the NessPRO Group and provide Israeli users with innovative identity management technologies."
