Lewis Media and XSorbit to Provide Online Forum Hosting

Tue, Feb 15th, 2005

WATERLOO- February 18, 2005 - Lewis Media and XSorbit have signed a strategic alliance for providing ongoing development and product branding for Lewis Media's forum software that will allow XSorbit clients to take advantage of ongoing developments, enhancements and security updates. This capability will ensure the integrity of clients' data and the ongoing stability of their forum service.

The impetus for developing this partnership was XSorbit's strong commitment to maintaining the most secure environment for their clients, as well as Lewis Media's commitment to providing ongoing security support.

"Essentially, this joint solution will help our clients and XSorbit's clients to rest more soundly," said Jeff Lewis, Senior Partner for Lewis Media and Project Manager for the Simple Machines Forum project. "The folks at XSorbit listened to what their customer base was asking them to provide and discovered that it was much more effective to develop a partnership than to create security patches and feature development in-house. This means they can create more value for less - which saves money for their customers and adds shareholder value."

"Partnering with XSorbit is a win-win situation for both companies," said Jospeh Fung, co-founder of Lewis Media. "It allows us to rest assured that the integrity of the forum software is maintained. This enables new and prospective customers to work faster, cheaper, and smarter."
