ST. PAUL, Minn. & SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--

critical IT operations, and Do IT Smarter, an MSP Alliance Accredited Master
Managed Service Provider, will launch a new initiative to deliver Shavlik`s
systems management and security solution to Do IT Smarter`s customers to better
secure and manage small/mid-size (SMB) IT environments. The partnership will be
announced at MSPWorld in Las Vegas, November 12-13, being held at the Venetian
Hotel.

The Shavlik and Do IT Smarter partnership adds a critical security and system
management resource for MSPs and customers already leveraging Do IT Smarter's
comprehensive support package that includes help desk services, on-site
services, and remote monitoring and management services. Shavlik delivers
industry-leading patch management and antivirus + antispyware in a single agent
that is fast and light on system resources. By adopting Shavlik`s single-agent
approach, Do IT Smarter customers can eliminate bloated, resource hogging
AV-only solutions in favor of a more comprehensive solution that reduces help
desk costs by ensuring systems are fully patched and that AV is running and
up-to-date.

"We're pleased to partner with Do IT Smarter to provide all the benefits of
Shavlik NetChk Protect through their managed services platform," said Mark
Shavlik, CEO, Shavlik Technologies. "The MSP model works especially well to
deliver Shavlik`s enterprise-class services to the SMB market, but it takes the
right partner with the right combination of technology and expertise to
succeed."

The two companies will each be presenting at the MSPWorld Conference. For more
