Press Release Summary: IT automation software provider to target South African MSPs
from new Johannesburg office

Press Release Body: ST. HELIER, JERSEY, June 12th 2008: Kaseya
(http://www.kaseya.co.uk) a global provider of information technology (IT)
automation software for IT solution providers and public and private sector IT
organisations, today announced its official launch into South Africa, with a new
office in Johannesburg and the appointment of Garth Hayward to spearhead the
company's expansion across the region. Kaseya will initially target Managed Service
Providers (MSPs) to help them deliver proactive IT management and monitoring
services to their customers, and will support its expansion by running a series of
educational seminars.

Kaseya's IT Automation software empowers managed service providers (MSPs) to
differentiate their service beyond the traditional \"break/fix\" model and add value
for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) . The software provides MSPs with a
powerful and simplified single framework for the implementation of IT procedures,
policies and practices, enabling them to automate essential administrative duties
and remotely manage distributed IT infrastructure easily and efficiently with one
integrated Web-based platform.

To support its drive into South Africa, Kaseya is offering MSPs the chance to
download and evaluate its software at no charge for a 30 day period. The company is
also running a series of educational seminars in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town
from 17th to 19th June 2008. Free to attend, the "Roadmap to Success for IT Service
Providers" seminars offers visitors insights into the theory and practice of Managed
Service delivery. Companies can sign up to attend at

"The launch of Kaseya in South Africa presents a significant growth opportunity for
MSPs, providing a complete platform for the development of rapid, proactive managed
IT services that will attract new customers, increase staff productivity and enhance
customer satisfaction," Hayward commented. "The SME sector in South Africa is set
for phenomenal growth and by using the Kaseya platform MSPs will be ideally placed
to equip these businesses with the optimised IT infrastructure they need to compete
effectively."

"A full time IT department is out of reach for many SMEs in South Africa, due to
cost and a scarcity of IT skills in the region", said Gerald Blackie, Kaseya CEO.
"The launch of Kaseya in South Africa will empower MSPs to differentiate their
service in this competitive market and take advantage of growing demand from smaller
businesses for reliable and flexible IT managed services, while reducing their own
IT management costs.\"

Garth Hayward is a veteran IT and telecommunications executive with 25 years
experience in managing sales and business operations. He joins Kaseya from
specialist IT services company Centricity, where, as managing director, he was
responsible for attracting customers from large international organisations
resulting in over 700 contracted sites across Southern Africa. Before this, he
worked for numerous technology companies, where he was in charge of business
development and sales.
