COLUMBIA, MD - April 18, 2005. eXpert Technology Solutions (XTS, Inc.), a leading provider of offshore software engineering management, announced today a strategic partnership agreement with aurionPro, a global provider of outsourced services. Under the terms of this agreement, aurionPro and XTS will combine their expertise and resources to deliver high quality, timely, and cost-effective software products for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) in the US market.

"Our partnership with XTS will expand our US presence and provide XTS with dedicated access to our ISO-9001 certified software development teams," stated Paresh Zaveri, director of aurionPro. "By combining XTS' US based sales and project management capabilities with our offshore software delivery services, we will provide small to mid-sized ISV's with an attractive and affordable alternative to traditional in-house product development. These ISV's can save significant money and time-to-market by taking advantage of our economies of scale, product expertise, and proven processes for high-quality software development."

"We are seeing an up swell in demand for smaller ISVs to outsource their product development," said Eric Spiegel, CEO of XTS. "By partnering with aurionPro, we can fulfill this growing need by providing world class engineering management services state-side, while aurionPro delivers cost-effective design, coding, testing and documentation offshore. We handle all interaction with the offshore resources, so ISVs can focus on creating intellectual property, and then marketing and selling their products. Our virtual development teams will provide our customers with predictable, fixed price contracts and reasonable, reliable on-going support."
