Release Date: August 29, 2005

(Morris Plains, NJ) August 29, 2005 � Quality Technology Solutions, Inc. (QTS) and Microsoft today announced that QTS has won the Regional Winning Customer Award for outstanding competitive efforts in the United States.  QTS was chosen out of a field of top Microsoft Partners within the U.S. for delivering market-leading solutions that highlight the benefits of working on the Microsoft platform.

"We're obviously very pleased to be selected by Microsoft for this highly exclusive award," noted QTS' President and CEO Neil Rosenberg.  "It is an honor to be recognized in this way by Microsoft, for the hard work our team has done migrating customers to Active Directory and Exchange."  This is the second year in a row QTS has been selected as a winner of this Award - in 2004, QTS won this award for development of the Systems Strategy Check-Up engagement, which was expanded nationally by Microsoft into a partner program best practice.

QTS was recognized for its successful implementation of a Microsoft-based solution, versus utilizing the technology of other vendors, that resulted in significant benefits to customers.  Award winners were required to have implemented solutions involving successful migrations, custom software development or completing customer upgrades that leverage Microsoft technology.  QTS won this year�s award by expertly developing customer solutions that exemplify the benefit of working on the Microsoft platform rather than those of other technology vendors.

�It is a privilege to recognize QTS as a U.S. Regional winner of this year�s Winning Customer Award,� said Allison Watson, vice president of the Worldwide Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft. �It is this level of commitment in reaching out to customers and underscoring the value of the Microsoft Windows integrated software platform that enables continued success for us and for our partners. We applaud Quality Technology Solutions for its efforts to implement solutions that successfully met its customer�s IT needs by migrating its systems to take advantage of the Microsoft platform.�

QTS' QuikDesign Active Directory Design service was the solution that won the award.  QuikDesign is a collaborative service offering that allows QTS and the customer to jointly develop an optimal design for Active Directory and Exchange, based on Microsoft best practices.  The approach leverages QTS' expertise around the products and its experience deploying the technologies in a broad range of customer environments, combined with the customers' knowledge of their own business, their network, their applications and their users.  The collaborative process has allowed a wide range of business to smoothly make the move to Active Directory, Windows Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2003.

"We're very pleased to see QTS' QuikDesign service receive this award and recognition," observed Alejandra Calatayud, General Manager of Microsoft's NYNJ SMS&P District.  "QTS has helped so many of our customers to take advantage of the powerful new features of Active Directory, Windows Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2003.  As our go-to Medium Business partner around networking and security in the NYNJ area, QTS plays a very strategic role for Microsoft, and we're looking forward to even more collaboration to create greater customer satisfaction."

The Winning Customer Award is part of Microsoft�s Commercial Software Initiative, which is designed to promote factual dialogue with customers, governments, academia, partners and developers about the value of the commercial software model and the Microsoft Windows integrated software platform.
