Apex, NC - March 21, 2006 -- SMGlobal Inc. (http://www.smglobal.com)
recently earned Microsoft Partner competency certification in ISV/
Software Solutions for its maintenance software program FastMaint CMMS.
FastMaint is a computerized maintenance management solution (CMMS)
suitable for manufacturing plants, industrial/ commercial facilities,
etc.

Certification involved customer surveys as well as a rigorous review of
FastMaint on the Windows platform. "Only companies that have
demonstrated high levels of customer service, proved their experience
and attained advanced certification receive the designation of Microsoft
Certified Partner," said Allison Watson, vice president of the Worldwide
Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft Corp. In addition the
Microsoft ISV/Software Solutions Competency recognizes the skill and
focus partners bring to a particular solution set.

Effective maintenance management is a challenge in areas as varied as
manufacturing, process industries, facility/ resort management, fleet
operations and more. Poorly performing equipment and unexpected

dissatisfaction. FastMaint makes it easy to set up a program for both
preventive and unplanned maintenance. It is available in both
stand-alone and networked editions. A 30-day trial can be downloaded
