Newforma(R) Adds VAR Partners for Newforma(R) Project Center Software

MANCHESTER, NH--(Marketwire - August 22, 2008) - Newforma, Inc., a software company addressing the project information management (PIM) needs of the design and building industry, today announced the expansion of the Newforma Authorized Partner program in response to increased market demand in North America. The program has been expanded to include value-added resellers (VARs) -- selected technology companies certified by Newforma to resell, deploy and configure the Newforma solution, and to train architects and engineers in its use. Two leading AEC technology consulting firms, Central Consulting Group (CCG) of Minneapolis, announced in May, and Control Group of New York, announced this week, are the first in the U.S. to participate in all aspects of the program.

"The marketplace has been very enthusiastic in its response to Newforma Project Center," said Newforma CEO Ian Howell. "But with that success comes the challenge of maintaining high levels of responsiveness. Newforma VAR Partners are an extension of the Newforma team and will allow us to maintain strong customer relationships and deliver excellent value-added services to our joint customers."

In North America, Newforma Authorized VAR Partners will work closely with Newforma's sales, marketing, and support operations to resell, deploy, configure and train small and mid-sized architectural and engineering firms. Larger firms will be jointly marketed by Newforma VAR Partners and the Newforma direct sales team.

Newforma Director of Business Development Robert Kahr is spearheading the program and shaping the profile of ideal Newforma Authorized Partners. "Today we are pleased to have engaged with two Authorized VAR Partners, Control Group and CCG, who exemplify the qualities we seek in such partner companies," Kahr said. "They're very experienced and responsive technology implementers who are also focused on the specialized needs of a large installed base of architects and engineers. Both partners are well-respected by their existing clients and believe that having Newforma Project Center in their portfolios will allow them to deliver a more comprehensive business solution to their customers."

"Newforma's project information management software is a natural next step for our Deltek customers as they continue their search for ways to improve productivity and project team effectiveness," said Central Consulting Group Partner Jim Falkanger. "We are excited about the opportunity to introduce our clients to the many benefits of Newforma Project Center."
