ASD Expands Nationwide; Broadens Its Business Intelligence Focus

ASD is a full-service provider of business and technical solutions with
four areas of focus: Business Intelligence, Network & Security, IBM and
Microsoft. The company is an IBM Premier iSeries Partner and a Microsoft
Gold Certified Partner that focuses on the integration of these two
leading technology providers.

With new locations in California, North Carolina and the greater New
York metropolitan area -- as well as an added location in Illinois -- ASD
is better positioned to serve clients in all its focus areas.

"We have great expertise in Business Intelligence -- and a one-of-a-kind
technology to support it in our BI Express solution," says Dave Johnson,
chief executive officer. "Now we're building on that core competency by
adding people to meet the needs of specific industries."

The Business Intelligence team now includes Justin Silver and Aviva
Phillips, insurance; Glenn Bugden, financial services; and Richard
Vincent, manufacturing.

ASD also hired an operations leader and formed a board of directors to
support the expanded company. Frederick Waite is a new executive vice
president and member of the board. Previously, Waite was the President
of BCF Technology Inc., focusing day-to-day on Sales, Marketing and
Operations while providing strategic direction to the organization as a
member of the Board of Directors.

Prior to BCF Technology, Inc., Waite was the President/Co-Founder of
Access Coverage Corp, Inc., a world class provider of technology
solutions for the insurance industry. Waite began his career at
Microsoft Corporation and continued providing his leadership to start-up
organizations and international leaders in the technology, insurance,
manufacturing and financial services sectors over the past 20 years.

"These are exciting times for ASD as we offer our wide variety of
technical and business solutions to new clients across the country,"
says Waite. "I'm happy to be a part of the ASD team and share my
