Consonus Kicks-Off its Public Repositioning Effort With the Launch of a New Company Web Site at www.consonus.com

SALT LAKE CITY – January 2006 –Consonus today announced the launch of a new company Web site, www.consonus.com, as a reflection of its effort to reposition and establish the company as a national provider of managed services and high-availability data center facilities.

“We at Knox Lawrence International specialize in identifying and acquiring under-utilized high-tech assets from utilities,” said Nana Baffour, managing partner at Knox Lawrence, Consonus’ private equity owner. “Consonus is a perfect example of one of those hidden gems, and that is why we acquired Consonus from Questar last year. Few people realize that Consonus is one of the top providers of managed IT services and data centers. The launch of Consonus’ new Web site is just the beginning of an ongoing effort to reposition the company as a true national leader.”

Consonus has been working behind the scenes to analyze its strengths and realign its service and product offerings to best meet the needs of businesses where maintaining crucial corporate data is essential.

“Our ability to provide top-notch services and support to leading organizations is virtually unmatched throughout the U.S., let alone in the Rocky Mountain region,” said Kelly Sawyer, director of marketing and product development for Consonus. “In today’s interconnected world, an organization’s Web site becomes a key positioning, marketing and sales tool in reaching prospective and current customers and partners. The new Consonus Web site (at www.consonus.com) more accurately positions our strengths to prospective customers who recognize that securing business information assets and maintaining corporate data integrity is key to their success.”

Consonus wanted its new Web site to emphasize its ability to provide expertise in managing crucial business information and securing critical computer equipment, as well as illustrate the superiority of its industry-leading data centers. Additionally, through the new site Consonus is also able to launch new systems and communicate more effectively with its customers.

The new site was designed and the navigation enhanced by Vérité, a leading digital communications agency, and the backend programming was completed by i4Solutions, a web development agency. Both Utah-based companies were chosen because of the impressive work they have done in the past and their proven ability to create visually appealing sites for their clients.

“We are pleased Consonus chose us to help them on this project,” said Kim Jones, founder and chief executive officer of Vérité. “The new site highlights both its strengths in managed services and data centers, and we feel it is a more accurate representation of how Consonus can assist other companies in managing their business information and other needs.”
