GTRI Achieves Cisco Powered Designations in Managed Security and
Managed Unified Communications

DENVER – April 14, 2009 – Global Technology Resources, Inc. (GTRI), a leading provider of
technology consulting services, today announced that it has achieved Managed Security and
Managed Unified Communications Cisco® Powered designations. These designations recognize
GTRI for having worked to acquire the resources and establish the procedures to deploy, manage
and support managed services across the U.S. and in Mexico.

“More and more companies are turning to managed services as an easy and cost-effective way to
manage their networks,” said Lu Unger, director of managed services at GTRI. “Our managed
services offerings not only save businesses time and money, but they also allow organizations to
re-direct precious resources that would have been spent managing their networks to other
important areas of the business. In addition, the peace of mind gained by knowing their
technology is in the hands of highly-trained, well-equipped network management professionals
who will ensure they are operating and regulatory compliant 24x7 is invaluable.”

“The market is moving toward the broad adoption of managed services as companies are shifting
from managing their own IT infrastructure to buying technology as a service,” said Edison Peres,
senior vice president of worldwide channels at Cisco. “With a Cisco Powered designation, GTRI
has made an investment in obtaining the training, skills and knowledge necessary to play a
pivotal role in meeting this increasing demand.”

Cisco Powered Managed Service designation requirements are based on the Information
Technology Infrastructure Library® (ITIL) framework of best practices as well as market and
industry requirements. GTRI participated in an assessment of its network operation center as a
part of the Managed Service Channel Program process.
