Press Release Summary: Dynamic SaaS Tool Reduces Time to Close for Channel Partners,
Allows Resellers to Generate Quotes and Orders in Minutes

Press Release Body: CARLSBAD, Calif. -- April 28, 2008 -- MaintenanceNet, Inc., the
leading provider of warranty and contract management services, is helping
distributors and their reseller customers drive faster, more efficient service sales
through use of a new Quote-to-Order module that is now available as part of the
MaintenanceNet software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for full-lifecycle service
contract management.

Rolled out to select MaintenanceNet customers earlier this year, the Quote-to-Order
module is designed to help technology manufacturers, along with their channel
partners and end customers, identify the right services for their products, while
also facilitating and expediting quoting and ordering processes. It works by
streamlining traditional, labor-intensive approaches to service sales, allowing
resellers to focus their efforts on helping customers faster and more effectively.

MaintenanceNet recently deployed the Quote-to-Order module for a large global
distributor with a goal of improving service revenues across Europe for a leading
technology vendor.

\"Within just a few months, the volume of quotes and orders dramatically increased,
with the Quote-to-Order platform generating more than 7,000 quotes and facilitating
more than 3,100 total closed orders for the distributor\'s resellers,\" said Scott
Herron, president and CEO of MaintenanceNet. \"We\'re pleased that it had an
immediate impact, including driving significant service revenue increases, and we\'re
confident that it can produce the same results for other MaintenanceNet customers as
well.\"

Dynamic in design, the MaintenanceNet Quote-to-Order module is updated on an ongoing
basis with the most current pricing and service data that sales teams need to be
completely informed for their customers. It offers an easy-to-use shopping cart
approach to service quoting and ordering. In addition, it provides automated
reminders to ensure that resellers follow-up on open quotes – a feature that
has played a large role in not only improving order close ratios, but also in
reducing the amount of time required to close sales.

\"With our channel-friendly service contract management platforms, which are
available 24/7, sales teams have everything they require to succeed at service
sales,\" said Herron. \"Simply put, MaintenanceNet places sales teams in a position to
gain complete control of the overall service quoting and ordering process, and we
make it fast and painless for them.\"

MaintenanceNet\'s Quote-to-Order module is priced according to the scope of data
integration services required for implementation. It is available with language and
currency converter support for multi-national installations. For more information,
