IBS continues to broaden technical base with Microsoft Gold Certified Partner
status

Stockholm, Sweden, May 7 2010 - International Business Systems (STO: IBS B), the
leading application supplier for wholesale and distribution, has today announced
that it has been awarded the Gold Certified Partner status by Microsoft. The
accreditation is the latest step by IBS to broaden its technical base and offer
products which utilise the latest platforms and technologies from across the
market. 

“The Gold Certified Partner accreditation is a reflection of our proficiency in
using different software platforms to best solve our clients' business
problems,” said Andy Bailey, Chief Marketing Officer, IBS. “There is a
perception that IBS develops software applications solely for use on IBM
iSeries, which is simply not the case. This announcement dispels that myth and
demonstrates IBS versatility in delivering world-class solutions on a variety of
platforms including those from Microsoft.”

IBS achieved the Gold Certified Partner accreditation through its IBS Integrator
product suite, which was awarded with Microsoft's ISV/Software Solutions
Competency. IBS Integrator, part of the IBS Enterprise Distribution Management
suite, is IBS's integration middleware platform. It is based on an open,
flexible, service-based architecture that simplifies integration and
synchronization of business critical applications like IBS Enterprise 6.0,
databases, devices and legacy code, whether inside or outside the business.
