PLEASANTON, CA (March 22, 2005) - ZANTAZ, Inc., the global leader in Information Retention and Discovery Management (IRDM) solutions, today announced that it has attained Gold Certified status in the Microsoft Partner Program with a competency in ISV/Software Solutions, recognizing ZANTAZ' expertise and impact in the technology marketplace.

As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, ZANTAZ has demonstrated expertise with Microsoft technologies and a proven ability to meet customers' needs.

Microsoft Gold status is yet another important differentiator of our proven solutions and a testament to the value that ZANTAZ Information Retention and Discovery Management solutions provide our customers."

The Microsoft ISV/Software Solutions Competency recognizes the skill and focus partners bring to a particular solution set. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners that have obtained this competency have a successful record of developing and marketing packaged software based on Microsoft technologies.

"Solutions Competencies are an important way for Microsoft to better enable ISVs to meet customer needs," said Sanjay Parthasarathy, corporate vice president of the Platform Strategy & Partner Group at Microsoft. "They allow ISVs to keep and win customers with their deep knowledge of solutions-based Microsoft platform technologies. Microsoft has a long history of working closely with ISV partners to help deliver compelling solutions and applications to our mutual customers, and the Solutions Competencies are an important step in continuing to enhance vital relationships with ISVs worldwide."

With its Gold Certified status, ZANTAZ has access to exclusive Microsoft resources and product information-benefits that the company can pass along to its customers. Those resources include priority access to a dedicated support team of Microsoft certified systems engineers, non-disclosure evaluations of new products and technologies, as well as planning tools and events to stay informed on the latest Microsoft product developments and future directions.

"Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between their business demands and technology capabilities. They need to trust in someone that can act as an expert adviser for their long-term strategic technology plans. Gold Certified Partners, which have certified expertise and direct training and support from Microsoft, can build a positive customer experience with our technologies," said Allison Watson, vice president of the Worldwide Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft Corp. "Today, Microsoft recognizes ZANTAZ as a new Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for demonstrating its expertise in providing customer satisfaction with Microsoft products and technology."
