RTO Software Expands into Europe Signs first three Value-Added Distributor Partners SUWANEE, GA, February 6, 2003 - RTO Software, Inc., developer of the TScale(tm) terminal server optimization application, announced today its expansion into Europe by appointing its first three distribution partners: Centia (UK), Ready Informatica (Italy), and Miel (France). As the leading Citrix distributors in Europe, the partnership will build awareness for and provide availability of TScale to ultimately save users of thin-client solutions time and money on new and existing implementations. "We are very proud to have such quality and expert representation in these markets," said Mark Winter, vice president of business development for RTO Software. "As server-based computing specialists with solid and excellent reach in the Citrix market, they will be able to help resellers provide extra value to their customers by deploying TScale to decrease the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their Citrix or Microsoft thin-client solutions." "We believe TScale offers excellent value for Citrix users and huge potential for our resellers," said Yuri Pasea, managing director, Centia. "TScale not only saves money for customers by reducing the number of servers needed, but also, with the money saved, they can purchase more software or engineering services to obtain the full solution they desire within their fixed budgets. This is great for the resellers, too, due to the higher margin in services and software." "In addition," commented Marco Lorefice, vice president of marketing, Ready Informatica, srl., "TScale provides immediate capacity increases without the time and expense of adding additional hardware, which will allow our resellers to sell more Citrix license packs more quickly." RTO Software expects to have 10 or more active resellers per region by Q3, 2003, as the leading European value-added distributors recruit and accredit TScale Authorized Resellers in their territories. "All of our active Citrix resellers should be offering TScale to their customers," said Roger Bonini, president, Miel. "It makes perfect sense for their clients and makes sense for the resellers." During Q1 and Q2, 2003, RTO Software intends to add additional distribution partners in Europe, focusing initially on northern European countries. Resellers interested in learning more about TScale and resale opportunities should contact the appropriate distributor or apply online at RTO Software's web site (www.rtosoft.com).
