NewMarket Latin America, Inc. Announces RKM IT Solutions' Multi-Year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement With Electricidad de Caracas


DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - June 3, 2008) - NewMarket Latin America, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NLAI) today announced that RKM IT Solutions (RKM) has signed a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with Electricidad de Caracas (http://www.laedc.com.ve/). Founded in 1895, Electricidad de Caracas generates, sells and distributes electricity to more than one million residential and commercial customers in the Caracas, Venezuela area. Electricidad de Caracas selected RKM from a competitive group of Microsoft service providers, and the contract is set to continue through the 2009 calendar year.

NewMarket Latin America recently announced RKM IT Solutions' (RKM) Microsoft sales increased 228% between July 2007 and March 2008 over the same period in the prior year. A large part of the sales increase can be attributed to RKM's upgrade last year to a Microsoft Large Account Reseller and Enterprise Software Advisor (LAR/ESA) from Gold Partner. Additionally, RKM has already surpassed its annual Microsoft sales goal by 78%.

As an LAR/ESA Partner, RKM can significantly extend its existing Microsoft Gold partnership to offer high volume licensing, specifically "Enterprise Agreement" (EA) and "Select" for companies with more than 250 PCs and support services to large enterprise and institutional customers. Prior to their selection to the LAR/ESA Partner program, RKM had been a Microsoft Gold Partner since 2001, winning the 2003 Microsoft Infrastructure Solution of the Year award in Venezuela.
