Press Release Summary: Cornerstone Consulting and Telovations are proud to announce
the complete web hosting of Comgine's integrated software, to help prepare
businesses for survival in a recession

Press Release Body: Clearwater, FL February 4, 2008 -- Many CEOs, CFOs, company
presidents and business owners are fearful of a severe economic recession. As each
day passes, business leaders are reading news headlines like "2008 - Talk of Worst
Recession Since the 1930s", "2008 - Stock Market Crashing", "Recession Fears
Growing", "Economic Depression Looming", "Economic Apocalypse", "Economic Collapse",
and more. Such articles describe the stock market downturns, layoffs at large
companies, well-known national companies going out of business, sharp inflation
increases, a weak US economy and declining international sales growth. Chris Isidore
recently wrote an article for CNNMoney entitled, "Recession 2008: How bad it can
get?" Within the article, he described an interview he had with Dean Baker, the
chief economist for the Center for Economic and Policy Research. When asked to
describe his vision of the worst case recession scenario, Dean Baker stated \"I can
easily imagine [the economy] going into a free fall.\" Baker added, \"The danger is
that housing prices continue to tumble and accelerate, people\'s ability to pull out
equity will evaporate, and you\'ll see a serious downturn in consumption.\" Similar
comments in current news articles evoke fear from corporate leaders regarding the
effects a recession may have on their companies.

With Comgine's streamlined and automated technology, business leaders now have a way
to defend their organizations from more drastic measures such as downsizing, layoffs
and bankruptcy. Many effects of preparing for a pending economic recession could be
considered negative. On the other hand, fear of a looming recession can be a
motivating factor for making positive changes within the technological
infrastructure, management and operations of a business. Fear can also prompt
business leaders to be creative and "think outside of the box" in order to prepare
for a recession and/or depression. For instance, company leaders are now
implementing integrated, automated and streamlined systems to process accounting,
inventory management and e-commerce business components. When asked how integrated
software solutions helps companies prepare for and survive a potential sales decline
of 15% or more, David Boos, President of Cornerstone Consulting answered, "In this
difficult economic period, many can no longer afford to waste time and resources by
using inefficient, non-integrated software applications in the conduct of their
businesses." He added, "We are resellers and implementation specialists of an
integrated accounting, e-commerce and inventory management software solution called
Comgine. We've recommended this streamlined solution to ensure that our clients
maintain: accurate sales forecasting, appropriate inventory levels, a lean business
operation, availability of company resources, customer loyalty and increased revenue
generation. We've also partnered with Telovations to ensure clients operating
Comgine have secure and reliable IP (Internet Protocol) bandwidth." Regarding the
strategic alliance formed with Cornerstone Consulting, Rob Cash, Vice President of
Channel Partners for Telovations stated, "Having the right technology partner that
understands the multiple technology touch points is critical. We've established a
sound business relationship based upon trust, technological collaboration, and
knowledge exchange for the purpose of strengthening our client's organizations.
Business owners take comfort in having an experienced technology partner like
Cornerstone." Installing an integrated e-business software system, on a strategic
level, is considered an extremely positive, offensive move against the problems
presented by a recession.

Companies currently using an integrated e-commerce, accounting and inventory
management system reduce transaction costs, streamline the online ordering
processes, and generate additional profits from their web store sales. When items
are purchased through an integrated e-commerce website, as opposed to a
non-integrated website, pertinent information is processed all the way through the
accounting and inventory management software, without any duplication of data entry.
An integrated system is efficient: the order comes in from the website; the system
fulfills the order from stock and orders replacement inventory from vendor; a
payable is created; the picking/packing ticket is created; the product is shipped;
the web payment is applied to order/ invoice; and, paid invoice and tracking
information is automatically emailed to the customer. A unified and streamlined
e-commerce system saves time and permits easy maintenance of accurate,
up-to-the-minute product, customer and vendor/supplier data. CEOs, CFOs, CIOs,
Owners, Presidents, and Sales Directors register to see live demonstrations of
Comgine's integrated e-commerce, accounting and inventory management software system
via web demo.

As a means of saving more money while preparing for the recession, many companies
are opting to have their entire integrated business management systems hosted.
Hosting integrated applications saves businesses from spending thousands of upfront
dollars for the software purchase and implementation of the system. During this time
of uncertainty, paying a flat monthly hosting fee, as opposed to purchasing many
software applications for installation on in-house servers, makes good business
sense to many corporate leaders and their financial advisors. In the absence of a
recession, utilizing complete web hosting of Comgine's integrated accounting,
e-commerce and inventory applications streamlines business processes and makes
organizations more efficient.
