London, November 6, 2006 -- ZyLAB, an innovative developer of Information Access Solutions, today announced it has attained Gold Certified Status in the Microsoft Partner Program with a competency in ISV/Software as well as Networking Infrastructure Solutions, recognizing ZyLAB's expertise and total impact in the technology marketplace.

ZyLAB offers organizations a complete XML-based information access system that provides a robust foundation for the archiving and long-term management of critical information, from digitized paper documents, to electronic files, to email and attachments, to multimedia. ZyIMAGE enables organizations to find, access, and organize specific data through a standard browser in a quick, easy, and secure fashion. Users can add additional modules to create the exact, cost-effective solution they require for specific types of projects or business processes (including records management, workflow, e-discovery and e-disclosure, etc.).

"We are extremely pleased to have attained Gold Certified status in the Microsoft Partner Program. This certification allows us to more clearly promote our expertise and relationship with Microsoft to our customers," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, president of ZyLAB North America LLC. "The benefits provided through our Gold Certified status allow us to continue to enhance the offerings that we provide for our customers."

As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Status, ZyLAB 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.

The Microsoft ISV/Software Solutions Competency recognizes the skill and focus partners bring to a particular solution set. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners that have obtained this competency have a successful record of developing and marketing packed software based on Microsoft technologies.

Microsoft Gold Certified Partners enrolled in the Networking Infrastructure Solutions Competency have proved their competency in implementing technology solutions based on either the Microsoft Windows Server(TM) 2003 or Windows® 2000 Server operating system, with a particular focus on Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 and Windows Small Business Server 2003. These implementations may include crafting solutions that connect Windows-based servers, PC locations and the Internet; installing a server farm; or building a small-business Windows Server stand-alone solution that includes file and print capabilities.

The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in December 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.
