SEATTLE, September 15 /PRNewswire/ --

Christian Aid, the largest grant giving organization in the UK, has
awarded leading interactive marketing and technology consultancy, Ascentium
Corporation, with a contract to manage its business process re-engineering
project. Using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, MOSS 2007 and Office 2003,
Ascentium will create "The Promise Solution," an innovative new program that
will enable Christian Aid to compete for funding and demonstrate returns on
donations, rather than merely save cost.

One of the largest projects underway in the not-for-profit sector, The
Promise Solution is meant to focus on and improve the charity's grant
management activities for projects and work programs undertaken by Christian
Aid, as well as by its partners worldwide. The project will ensure that
Christian Aid works with Partner organizations in a more consistent,
efficient and effective way.

"The Promise Solution is a crucial component to the future of Christian
Aid," said Martin Kyndt, Director of Corporate Affairs at Christian Aid. "We
feel that Ascentium, their expertise and strong partnership with Microsoft
makes them the right company to meet our goals."

Ascentium is one of the top Microsoft partners in the world for MOSS and
CRM. When used in conjunction with one another, the two products prove to be
innovative in the field of software development. As the company who maintains
the largest dedicated CRM practice in the world, Ascentium has also led the
effort for the world-wide training of ISVs on CRM 4.0 and holds seven
Microsoft Gold Competencies.
