Adesso Systems and Leverent Announce AppsNOW Gold Partnership; Leading Systems Integrator Announces Innovative Solutions for Government Sector built on Adesso's AppsNOW Platform V4.

BOSTON -- Adesso Systems, the provider of a powerful new software platform that is revolutionizing how applications are built, distributed, marketed and sold, today announced Leverent as a new Adesso AppsNOW Gold Partner. Leverent provides business value to its clients by integrating leading edge technology to solve customer business issues by defining and creating innovative solutions.

Leverent is utilizing Adesso's AppsNOW Platform V4 to extend its system integration business into new solution areas more rapidly. The first application provides the cattle industry its first fully automated, fully mobile application for helping to monitor and track cattle herds. The application developed for Leverent fully automates a range of livestock management and control systems. This enables users to more effectively manage federal compliance requirements around a host of regulations including, among others, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. The application is linked to an RFID tagging system to enable fully automated tracking. This kind of automation is critically important to cattle owners, state and federal regulators alike, as a means of maximizing efficiency for superior operations and results.

"As a national system integrator, we are continuously looking for ways to differentiate ourselves from our competitors, said Sam Ganga, chief executive officer of Leverent. "There is no better way of doing that than offering customers more powerful applications that are easier to use and take less time to build and extend. This is exactly what we have done for the State of New Mexico, with the industry's first fully automated, fully mobile application for helping the state better manage its widely distributed cattle population. "

"Now in production pilot with the State of New Mexico, we already have enquiries from other cattle states regarding this unique, industry-critical application - a great opportunity to leverage our system integration business," continued Ganga. "I am pleased to be an AppsNOW Gold Partner and look forward to building more state and local government applications on the AppsNOW Platform V4."

The AppsNOW Partner Program is designed to address the company's four developer communities: Entrepreneurs (individuals/teams with a great idea), ISVs (software development shops looking to extend their applications to the mobile and distributed world), Systems Integrators (a fast and easy way to build and run powerful mobile and distributed applications that satisfy customer needs), and Enterprise Development Shops (a fast and easy way to build and run powerful workgroup and/or enterprise applications for a specific company need).

NOW.Gold Partner membership allows partners the flexibility of multiple go-to-market deployment models. Adesso offers a powerful newly-hosted, Software as a Service (SaaS) model through its AppsNOW Marketplace, accelerating a partner's time to revenue, while maintaining his or her control and visibility for sales, marketing and support purposes. In this model a partner pays a monthly hosting fee to Adesso, and then shares the net revenue proceeds of the application with Adesso. In addition, NOW.Gold Partners also have access to an On-Premise deployment option once additional training and certification requirements are met and maintained. This model offers NOW.Gold Partners the added flexibility to address unique security, compliance or other specialized customer needs that may arise from time to time.

"Leverent has built a perfect example of a 'long tail' application," said John Van Siclen, chief executive officer of Adesso Systems. "They have taken their unique knowledge of a specific market segment and leveraged it into a distributed, mobile application. There are thousands more such applications out there waiting for those with domain knowledge and initiative to create them. We are pleased to have Leverent as an early AppsNOW Gold Partner and look forward to more Leverent applications to come."
