Connectria Receives the 2004 Greater St. Louis Top 50 Award from the St. Louis RCGA and Deloitte & Touche

ST. LOUIS, MO (November 1, 2004) - Connectria Corporation today announced that it has been selected as a recipient of the 2004 Greater St. Louis Top 50 Award. The Top 50 program recognizes companies in the region who are active participants in the community and reflect the positive aspects of doing business in the Greater St. Louis region.

"We are pleased and humbled to be named as one of St. Louis' Top 50 companies," said Rich Waidmann, founder, President and CEO of Connectria. Connectria provides information technology outsourcing services from its world-class data centers and 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC) in St. Louis. Connectria's services help large and midsized companies become more efficient and more profitable. Connectria has helped more than 50 companies in St. Louis reduce IT costs and reinvest their savings to expand their businesses in St. Louis.

In addition, more than 60% of Connectria's customers come from outside of St. Louis. Each time Connectria adds a new customer, Connectria brings high-paying IT services work and new jobs to St. Louis. "We are pleased that the RCGA and Deloitte & Touche have recognized Connectria for helping St. Louis companies grow their businesses, as well as for establishing St. Louis as an exceptional place from which to deliver advanced technology services to companies worldwide," Waidmann added.

Being centrally located in St. Louis has helped Connectria connect to other parts of the country inexpensively, and also provides geographic separation for the East and West Coasts, which many companies want for disaster preparedness. Besides its advanced technologies and capabilities, Connectria believes its Midwestern work ethic and "No Jerks Allowed" company policy are major reasons why customers worldwide choose Connectria.
