Knowledgeone Corporation exceeds stringent US Federal Government standards

Washington, D.C., April 25, 2008 - Knowledgeone Corporation, a privately held Australian software company has been awarded a General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule Contract for Information Technology, effective April 25, 2008 until April 24, 2013.

The US Government’s Federal Schedule now makes Knowledgeone Corporation an “Approved Organization” with its key products added to a preferred buyers list that any US Federal Government Agency can purchase without going to tender. An added benefit is the fact that state and local governments can also buy off this same schedule.

Frank McKenna, CEO of Knowledgeone Corporation said, “A GSA schedule is essential to both selling software to government in the USA and to signing up dealers because the first thing anyone asks is "Do you have a GSA Schedule?" If the answer is no, the interest wanes to zero.”

“One factor that was of great assistance in becoming "approved" was the performance of our support team lead by Jonathan Scowen. The GSA contracted Dun & Bradstreet to interview our US and Canadian customers and rate how well we supported them. We received a top rating and without this we would not have got past first base,” says McKenna.

Through an arduous and extensive process, Knowledgeone Corporation working with the Winvale Group in Washington met and exceeded the most stringent quality assurance and product performance tests to finally secure the highly coveted contract.

“We are very pleased to have assisted Knowledgeone with this project. They are a group of highly-experienced industry leaders whose customers at the federal level will appreciate the simplicity the Schedule offers them,” said David Sonde, Winvale Managing Partner.

Knowledgeone will now expand its business further in the United States and Canada to make the most of its windfall.
