Velocity & Lawson Renew/Expand Partnership
(New
York, NY, March 5, 2008) - Velocity Technology Solutions, Inc. announced
today that it has renewed and expanded the scope of its Preferred
Hosting Partner agreement with Lawson Software. In

years, this new agreement also enables Velocity to provide hosting
services for enterprise software applications from Lawson.

Tier IV "carrier-class" facilities, a national MPLS network dedicated
to Lawson traffic and a worry-free service level agreement. Velocity's
certified professionals; SAS 70, HIPPA, ISO 9001:2000 compliant
facilities; and Lawson-endorsed services deliver top-quality
application management and hosting that is proven to reduce Total Cost

continues to grow as customers seek to simplify their IT support and

for hosting, and now we have extended our partnership to allow us to
