Mirapoint Signs Technica; Announces New Partner Program Targeting Government Sector
Mirapoint's Email Security & Boundary Control Solutions Address Government Need

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 8, 2003 - Mirapoint, a leader in solutions for message networks, today announced a reseller partnership with Technica Corporation, a leading technology services and product solutions provider. Technica will be part of Mirapoint's new Government Solutions Partner program, which provides marketing and sales support to assist resellers specifically selling Mirapoint products to federal, state and local government agencies. Under terms of the partner agreement, Technica will resell Mirapoint's products, including the Mirapoint Message Server, Message Director and Directory Server, to government customers looking to bolster the security and reliability of their message networks.

"With Mirapoint, we can help our customers better secure their message networks against the overwhelming deluge of spam and viruses, as well as address email policy enforcement and business continuity planning," said Miguel Collado, President and CEO, Technica Corporation. "Mirapoint's new Government Solutions Partner program will also provide us with the right tools and training, so the Technica team can quickly engage the government market and capitalize on email security opportunities."

With the increasing importance of email communications, government agencies are looking for ways to better secure their mission-critical message networks. The Mirapoint Message Director provides a powerful boundary control solution for blocking spam, viruses and hacker attacks at the network edge. Customers also have the flexibility to create policies with the Message Director to better manage message traffic, such as filtering for inappropriate content and preventing sensitive information leaks. In addition, Mirapoint offers a robust message store for message archival or disaster recovery. All of the Mirapoint products can work seamlessly with an existing mail system, such as Microsoft Exchange.

"We are excited to sign Technica as a Mirapoint partner. The Technica team's strong experience in government sales will help Mirapoint further expand its market reach," said Bill Messer, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Customer Services at Mirapoint. "Technica's strong customer relationships and industry knowledge combined with Mirapoint's best-of-breed messaging and security products, present us with a truly powerful partnership for success."

This agreement marks Technica as the founding member of Mirapoint's new Government Solutions Partner program. Under the program, Technica will receive significant joint marketing and sales assistance from Mirapoint when going after the government market. The addition of the new Government Solutions Partner program complements existing Mirapoint partner programs including the Total Solutions Partner program for resellers focused on Mirapoint's comprehensive messaging solutions, and the Security Solutions Partner program focused on email security and boundary control solutions.
