BlueThread Technologies Wins the Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Innovative
ISV Award

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueThread Technologies, Inc. today
announced that they have won the Microsoft® SharePoint® Server 2010 Innovative
Independent Software Vendor (ISV) award for the company's StoragePoint®
product. The award recognizes an ISV partner solution, built on SharePoint
that goes beyond filling gaps and addresses business-critical customer needs
through deep innovation and integration with Microsoft SharePoint Server
capabilities.

"BlueThread has brought an important solution to market," said Kathleen
Winder, Director, SharePoint Partner Marketing, at Microsoft Corp.
"BlueThread's StoragePoint product impressed us with its storage and
administration benefits for Microsoft SharePoint Server users and site
administrators."

StoragePoint enables companies to relocate SharePoint content BLOBs (Binary
Large Objects) to virtually any on-premise storage platform as well as
Storage-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms like Windows Azure BLOB Storage. With
the BLOBs relocated, SharePoint content databases are smaller and easier to
manage, SharePoint performance improves, and savings are realized by moving
content to less expensive tiers of storage.

"We wanted to provide our clients with unprecedented BLOB storage flexibility
for both Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 and 2010," says Rob D'Oria,
BlueThread's CTO and co-Founder. "With StoragePoint, clients can leverage
almost any storage device including cost-effective tiered capabilities. And
with up to 256 bit (AES) encryption and BLOB compression, clients can increase
security when required as well as save on storage hardware costs."

D'Oria continues, "Organizations don't have to wait for 2010 in order to
realize the benefits of StoragePoint. Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 customers can install StoragePoint
within their existing 2007 SharePoint deployment while taking comfort that a
no-hassle upgrade to 2010 is already in place."

Customers can download a 30-day trial version of StoragePoint at
