ST. LOUIS, August 17 /PRNewswire/ --

- Leader in SaaS-Based Global Trade Management Solutions Deploys Savvis
Hosting Services

Furthering its position as a leading provider of software-as-a-service
(SaaS) IT infrastructure services, Savvis, Inc. (Nasdaq: SVVS) today
announced an agreement to provide hosting services to TradeBeam, a leader in
SaaS-based global trade management solutions (GTM).

TradeBeam's solutions facilitate billions of dollars of global trade. As
a rapidly-growing company that supports industry-leading customers, TradeBeam
required a high performance data center to host its enterprise-class SaaS
solutions.

TradeBeam's IT infrastructure is now colocated in one of Savvis'
state-of-the-art data centers (http://datacentergallery.savvis.net/) that 
meet the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) Type II 
requirements, confirming that proper procedures are in place to safeguard 
customers' financial data. SAS 70 reports also meet the requirements of 
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) for effective internal controls 
by public companies.

"Faced with considerable growth, we realized we needed to expand our IT
infrastructure capacity," said Nasser Mirzai, vice president of IT at
TradeBeam. "Savvis is an industry leader offering a global footprint of high
performance SAS 70 certified data centers integrated with one of the world's
largest Tier 1 networks. Extending our SaaS service delivery model into
Savvis' data center will allow TradeBeam to focus on our core business rather
than IT infrastructure."

"TradeBeam is at the forefront of global trade management solutions
delivered in a SaaS business model," said Brad Hokamp, Savvis Vice President,
Hosting Business Unit. "As TradeBeam continues to grow, we look forward to
building a long-term relationship as a trusted IT services provider."

Savvis currently operates 28 data centers globally encompassing more than
1.4 million square feet of raised floor space designed to support enterprise
IT operations. In addition, Savvis was recently positioned as a leader in the
