ROSE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS PROVIDES VISIBILITY TO FRONT AND BACK-LINE OPERATIONS

SAN DIEGO; August 30, 2006 – Mid-sized Southern California businesses looking to support their Internet commerce or business process applications with the latest server-based portal technology can now turn to Rose Business Solutions (RBS), Inc., which has acquired Microsoft’s new Information Worker Solutions competency. Long known for its Gold-Certified competency in Microsoft Business Solutions, RBS is expanding its expertise with this new competency which includes portals and enterprise content management – a growing need in the small to mid-sized business market.

In today’s highly connected corporate world, each employee has become an information worker. From the 1-800 call center staff at an automotive parts retailer, to the human resources department of a global advertising agency, digital and networked solutions that enhance productivity and customer service are indispensable. Businesses are looking for solutions that allow front-line, back-office, and management employees to intuitively find, share, and connect to relevant information, processes, and people resources from anywhere within their organization. Using its Information Worker specialization, RBS can implement the leading portal and enterprise content management technology from Microsoft. These solutions give mid-sized organizations a competitive edge by ensuring staff across the organization are better informed, more quickly, and allowing management to have visibility into all aspects of company operations.

“Mid-sized businesses are adopting online collaborative tools such as Microsoft SharePoint in order to raise productivity, and streamline communications between front-line customer service and back-office accounting, as well as their management,” says Linda Rose, CEO of Rose Business Solutions. “Connecting multiple locations online is an efficient way to realize a nearly instant return on your investment.”

The Information Worker specialization ensures RBS can deliver innovative solutions such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server, Windows SharePoint Services, and Microsoft Content Management Server — all of which enable staff to access information and collaborate across an entire company from one convenient screen.
RBS can provide other specializations built on familiar programs within the Information Worker Solutions competency. These include:

• Messaging and Collaboration, which is designed for businesses using the Microsoft Office System, Microsoft Exchange Server, Office Live Communications Server 2003, and Windows SharePoint Services;
• Office System Desktop Deployment, which was developed to provide solutions to organizations wishing to upgrade to the latest version of programs in the Microsoft Office System;
• Enterprise Project Management, which specializes in Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003 solutions; and
• Office Smart Client Development, which is available for businesses currently using XML and Web Services in Office Professional 2003 and Visual Studio Tools for Office.
