Apps.gov Cloud Computing Site Now Offers PHASE 2 Products

PHASE 2`sWorld-Class Portfolio of GSA-Scheduled Hosted Microsoft and Lotus
Applications Now Even More Accessible to Government Agencies
HONOLULU--(Business Wire)--
PHASE 2 International (www.phase2.com) announced today that its comprehensive
portfolio of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications is now available on the
federal government`s Apps.gov Website. Among the first on the new site-and the
first to offer IBM/Lotus applications via Apps.gov-PHASE 2`s comprehensive
portfolio of SaaS business software is now easier than ever for government
clients to access and use to succeed.

Apps.gov is an online store for government agencies that are required to use the
GSA schedule. The site was designed to help them to find, purchase and use SaaS
and other cloud computing services with the knowledge that they have already
been screened, and government prices negotiated. All applications available on
the site, including the full PHASE 2 portfolio, are GSA approved for use by
federal agencies.

"This important new resource for government agencies further proves that SaaS
and other cloud computing applications and resources are no longer the wave of
the future - they`re recognized as being the best solution now," said Kevin
Doherty, PHASE 2 CEO. "We`re thrilled to be at the center of it - with our SaaS
products available on Apps.gov-as President Obama`s progressive initiatives for
technology accessibility are being reached. These productivity-enhancing
applications make as much sense for government as they do for businesses."

According to the Apps.gov Website, "Cloud computing plays a key role in the
President`s initiative to modernize Information Technology (IT) by identifying
enterprise-wide common services and solutions and adopting a new cloud-computing
business model. The Federal CIO Council under the guidance of the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and the Federal Chief Information Officer (CIO),
Vivek Kundra, established the Cloud Computing Initiative to fulfill the
President`s objectives for cloud computing."
