QTS Press Release

Release Date: March 22, 2001

QTS Wins Novell Service Excellence Award for Second Straight Year

South Orange, NJ, March 22, 2001 - Quality Technology Solutions ("QTS") and Novell today announced that QTS has been awarded the prestigious Novell Support Connection Service Excellence Award for 2001, for the second straight year.  Novell, Inc., the world’s leading provider of directory-enabled network software, named QTS one of only 15 winners from their large network integrator base across all of North America.

According to Dave Cutler, Vice-President of Novell’s Americas Support Center, the awards recognize Novell partners who have demonstrated continuing excellence providing technical support to Novell customers. Partners were evaluated on their dedication to delivering exceptional service, attention to quality management, demonstrated self-sufficiency in delivering superior support to Novell customers, and commitment to selling and supporting Novell Net services software.

"QTS has been a strong Novell partner for a long time, and it's great to receive this level of recognition, especially for two years in a row" noted Neil Rosenberg, President & CEO of QTS.  QTS was one of the fastest organizations to reach Gold and then Platinum Partner status with Novell in the early ‘90s, and has been a consistent force in promoting and supporting Novell's newer technologies such as ManageWise, ZENworks, BorderManager and eDirectory within New Jersey and New York.  “Novell has a much more diverse product line than most people realize, with solutions that don’t require NetWare file servers.  With seven CNEs on staff and back-to-back Service Excellence Awards from Novell, QTS is well positioned to deploy and support these solutions,” noted Rosenberg.

Rosenberg noted that QTS places a strong emphasis on well-planned and executed project implementations to minimize problems, and on highly responsive and qualified support for when problems occur after implementation.  QTS has a strong focus on network up-time and preventing problems before they happen, and utilizes Novell's ZENworks for Servers technologies in its innovative QuikAlert™ support offerings to keep its clients' networks up and running.

"We set the bar very high for ourselves in terms of service levels," said Rosenberg.  QTS provides customers with Customer Satisfaction Surveys following its service visits, and last year across 206 returned surveys QTS' score averaged 4.74 on a scale of 1-5, with a 4.94 score in the fourth quarter.  "We also have internal measures for how quickly we begin working on incoming support issues and how quickly we close them out, and have consistently exceeded goals in this area," said Rosenberg, who noted that QTS' Customer Support Center is staffed by a full-time Manager and three engineers.  "This allows us to be proactive with network management, and responsive with support," added Rosenberg.

Rosenberg also attributes QTS' success in servicing its customers to the skill and experience of its technical staff.  "Our average technician has over 6 years of industry experience and two major certifications," noted Rosenberg.  "This allows our staff to jump right into problems and issues without wasting time," and Rosenberg also noted that QTS' Training Manager ensures all technicians are properly training upon hire as to QTS' troubleshooting methodology, client communication requirements, service expectations and QTS' project implementation methodology.  The training is supplemented by lab work, training exercises and "shadowing" experienced technicians as they work at client sites.  "This lets us maintain a consistently high service level, and helps us exceed our goals for bringing in our project work on schedule and within budget," added Rosenberg.
