| March 15, 2006 Spectra Computer Services Ltd (Spectra) is pleased to announce that we have recently earned the status of a Microsoft® Gold Certified Partner for ISV/Software Solutions. This certification designates that Spectra has demonstrated superior levels of successful implementations and has met rigorous requirements for expertise and staff certification. This is a tremendous accomplishment as only approximately 2% of all worldwide Microsoft Certified Partners achieve Gold Certified Partner status. Moreover, Spectra is the only property management software company in North America to become a Gold Certified Partner. Spectra has reached the elite status as a Gold Certified Partner for ISV/Software by demonstrating increased levels of developer certification, deep real-world experience and by providing multiple customer reference projects that were independently verified by Microsoft. Through engagement with Microsoft, Spectra has in-depth access to a variety of exclusive resources and early product information. Resources include priority access to a support team of Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSEs), non-disclosure evaluation of new products and technologies, as well as planning tools and events to keep us up to speed on the latest Microsoft product developments and future direction. Spectra employs several Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCPs); individuals who have passed certification exams designed to validate their mastery using Microsoft tools and technologies. A recent study of Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers and their supervisors by Jack McKillip, Ph.D. at Southern Illinois University, rated MCPs as highly effective workers on the job and IT supervisors rated MCSEs as more competent on all global dimensions as compared to non-certified systems engineers.
In summary, as a Gold Certified Partner, Spectra is:
