PHOENIX--(Business Wire)--
Hughes-Calihan Konica Minolta, Inc. (HCKM)(www.hc-km.com) and Trans-West Network
Solutions (TWNS) (www.twns.com) partner to joint market each other`s Managed IT
Services and Telecommunications solutions.

The joint relationship will provide HCKM`s clients and new prospects with the
ability to include a Voice-over-IP or legacy PBX system as part of their managed
IT services. Similarly, Trans-West Network Solutions will offer its clients and
new prospects a managed IT services option.

HCKM offers sophisticated equipment for virtually every critical office
application, from copying systems and imaging to facilities management and
managed IT services. As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, HCKM supports
business networks and end users across the U.S. Konica Minolta Business
Solutions USA, Inc. acquired Hughes-Calihan, a family-owned Arizona business for
nearly 90 years, in November 2007.

"We welcome the chance to partner with Trans-West. It`s a terrific opportunity,"
said Peter Calihan, President of HCKM. "Our current customers will benefit
tremendously from the strategic advantages offered by Trans-West`s solutions. As
a network infrastructure provider, we already assist with the support of
numerous traditional and VoIP telephone solutions. Clients frequently ask for
guidance on voice and data systems and, with Trans-West, we may now confidently
recommend the leading solutions and service available. At the same time, we hope
to attract new customers with a more varied, comprehensive service offering. Our
goal remains to be the trusted advisor to our customers in as many aspects of
their business as possible."

Both HCKM and Trans-West provide excellent, nationally recognized customer
service in a technology marketplace increasingly commoditized. Despite
impressive growth, both organizations offer 24x7x365 sales and technical
support.

telecommunications company with more than 8,000 customers across the U.S. As the
