- Astadia Gains Momentum in 2008 and Continues Providing SaaS Solutions 
to Assist Collaboration Across Teams and Organisations

Salesforce.com Europe Dreamforce Conference -- Astadia Consulting UK
Limited, the European subsidiary of Astadia, Inc., a global business
consulting and SaaS solutions company, delivers productivity gains with
Astadia Quoting and Astadia Report Collaboration as part of the
salesforce.com-Google category of salesforce.com's AppExchange. With
Astadia's two new applications customers can use Salesforce for Google
Apps(TM) to collaborate on sales quotes and reporting, further enabling their
businesses to run in the cloud. Built on salesforce.com's Force.com platform
and Google's open APIs, Astadia Quoting and Astadia Report Collaboration are
available for test drive and deployment at
http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange. The announcement was made today at
Dreamforce Europe, salesforce.com's User and Developer Conference.

With Astadia Quoting, Salesforce users can team up within a company
around sales quotes and effectively manage negotiation between a prospect and
sales team. The wizard-driven process takes advantage of the Salesforce
application's native workflow and approval processes. Astadia Report
Collaboration gives Salesforce users the ability to conveniently export any
Salesforce report to their Google Apps business account, and then to grant
secure, selective access to the data using Google Apps' built-in sharing and
discussing functionality.

"We are excited to give Salesforce users a new and better way to
collaborate instantly and seamlessly within their organisations and with
their prospects and clients," says Jerry Huskins, Astadia Executive Vice
President, Corporate Development. "With our two new AppExchange products,
Salesforce users can connect these expertly-paired SaaS solutions and improve
efficiency by creating a common view for dispersed work teams. Astadia
continues to assist clients to maximise their on-demand technology
investments around the corner and around the globe."

"Astadia is honored to be selected as one of two salesforce.com partners
to participate in the salesforce.com-Google AppExchange category launch, and
the new Salesforce for Google Apps offerings illustrate Astadia's commitment
to creating straightforward collaboration solutions," says Jason Masciarelli,
Astadia General Manager, APAC. "We are positioned to expand our product and
service offerings throughout Europe and Asia-Pacific this year."

"With Astadia Report Collaboration and Astadia Quoting, Astadia is
establishing itself as a leader in collaborative SaaS offerings for
Salesforce users," said Clarence So, Chief Marketing Officer, salesforce.com.
"Astadia's integration offerings have delivered significant value to
salesforce.com customers and we expect similar customer success with their
new AppExchange offerings at our first Dreamforce Europe user and developer
conference."
