PVBS Adds Strategic Partnerships to Support Burgeoning List of New Government Contractor Customers

Diamond Mind and POSitive Technology Latest Industry Leaders to Become Key Partners

Reston, VA (May 14, 2007) – Pleasant Valley Business Solutions (PVBS), Microsoft’s leading provider of government contractor ERP, financial management and project accounting solutions, announced that it has developed strategic partnerships with two leading technology firms in order to expand the already comprehensive solutions it brings to its growing list of government contractor customers. Both firms add capabilities to PVBS’ feature-rich solution set based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV for Government Contractors.

The latest firms to sign partnerships with PVBS are Diamond Mind, Inc. (Rockville, MD) and POSitive Technology (Gaithersburg MD). Diamond Mind offers Level III payment processing solutions for companies that sell to the Federal Government. POSitive Technology was Microsoft’s top Point of Sale solutions provider for the last four consecutive years. Both companies offer technologies that have been included in solutions PVBS has delivered to new customers recently.

Bernard Mustafa, CEO and President at PVBS said of Diamond Mind, “The Government is moving more and more towards e-commerce procurement including the use of SmartPay® for as much at $100,000 per transaction. With our new relationship, our current and future clients are now in better shape to serve their government customers. We are also excited with the Diamond Mind partnership because we believe our customers can save thousands of dollars per year in payment-card processing costs.”

The Level III payment processing capability Diamond Mind offers is important for government contractors who need to accept federal government purchasing cards and wish to have the card processing payment application integrated into Dynamics NAV.

Katherine Novikov, CEO at Diamond Mind, said, “Level III continues to be a largely unmet need in purchase card programs administered by the various federal government agencies. By providing Level III data to the agencies, government contractors not only reduce their cost of accepting government purchase cards, often substantially, but it also tightens the relationship of the contractor to the Agency. Level III reporting provides coveted data-rich information which ultimately enhances fraud and spending controls for the Federal government.

”With the consummation of the POSitive Technology partnership, PVBS has been able to offer government contractors an ERP-solution which is among the most user-friendly and comprehensive in the entire industry. “Our Dynamics NAV solution is perfectly suited for companies that sell a combination of products and services to the government. The POSitive Technology offerings are perfect for those companies that maintain point-of-sale or retail-like facilities to sell those products.”

POSitive Technology is the leading provider of the Microsoft Retail Management System for retail point of sale solutions. POSitive Technology is a Microsoft Gold Partner, and has been awarded the prestigious Partner of the Year award by Microsoft for the past four years. They feature retail software applications, hospitality software applications, hardware platforms, networks, internet access, payment processing, and security solutions to help lower costs, increase speed and improve business efficiencies.
