Atlanta, Georgia – September 13, 2004 – B2B Technologies, a leading e-business technology expert and Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, today announced that nine of its existing clients have awarded the company new engagements in the first half of 2004. In addition to winning more engagements from existing clients, five new clients have selected B2B Technologies for a range of Microsoft-based e-business technology assistance.

A sampling of recent B2B Technologies-led technology efforts conducted on behalf of new clients includes engagements with the following companies:

• Infusion3 – development of software components to run on the Microsoft platform.

• Hoover Material Handling Group –  enhancement and support of the company’s iTRAM application, an Internet-based asset tracking system for specialty containers shipped worldwide on behalf of chemical, petrochemical and food purveyors.

• Georgia State University – design and development of an intranet portal for faculty and student collaboration in the Executive MBA program.

“For the first time in several years, we are winning work from start-up enterprises,” explained Frank Fuerst, president, B2B Technologies. “We worked with many strong start-up companies during the Internet boom, but that work has been virtually nonexistent until recently. We believe the growing demand for our services indicates that the technology industry in the Southeast is beginning to rebound.”
