BTP Partners with Peer Software and Fortinet to Provide Data Protection and Real Time Security Functions for its
Clients

NEW YORK, NY - May 19, 2009 - Business Technology Partners, Inc. (BTP), a
premier New York City-based IT consulting and managed services firm, today
announced strategic partnerships with two different companies: Fortinet, a marketleading
network security provider and worldwide leader of unified threat management
(UTM) solutions; and Peer Software, Inc., a global provider of enterprise-grade file
synchronization, file replication and file collaboration solutions for hundreds of Fortune
500 companies and government agencies. These partnerships will allow BTP to provide
both leading edge data security and protection and file collaboration solutions.

Through PeerSync, BTP will provide collaboration and file sharing tools to their
client base. Often utilized by the construction, engineering and architectural industries,
the Peer “CAD” Collaboration solution offers server-to-server file mirroring between a
company's office sites with integrated file locking to prevent version conflicts. The
solution includes a number of features indispensable to large CAD projects:
ByteReplicator, allowing for the transfer only of modified data during synchronization
(instead of copying over the entire file); Multi-Threading, which allows for parallel
processing of multiple file transfer events between source machine(s) and target
machine(s); and PeerLock, which ensures that when a user is modifying a file, no other
user will be allowed to make changes to that file on any machine that the user has chosen
to lock.

Thanks to their partner agreement with Fortinet, BTP will be able to offer a world
class unified threat management tool (UTM) to its client base. An integrated device on
all Fortinet appliances, the UTM automatically performs updates and includes firewall
protection, website filtering capabilities, secure remote VPN access, anti-virus, antispam,
and intrusion prevention measures. Ensuring data security and confidentiality
inside the corporate network has become a growing concern for companies dealing with
private information. The UTM tool keeps data inside of the network and can refuse
applications and block the ability to send unlawful attachments.

“Today's businesses are dealing with new challenges in protecting their data,
providing Internet usage policies, and providing their teams with secure and reliable
access to files and information. Our new partnerships with Peer Software and Fortinet
will enable BTP to quickly respond to customer demands by deploying highly targeted
solutions to better suit their evolving needs in these critical areas,” said Joshua E. Aaron,
President of Business Technology Partners,” said Joshua E. Aaron, President of Business
Technology Partners.

BTP's expertise is in many facets of IT including technology infrastructure and
applications, network management, IT Support, telecommunications, audiovisual and
security systems. For more information BTP's partnerships or general information about
