QSGI Certified as a Microsoft® Authorized Refurbisher


HIGHTSTOWN, NJ-October 13, 2008-QSGI, Inc. (OTC:BB QSGI) the only provider of a full suite of information technology services to help corporations better manage IT assets, data center maintenance expenses, and ensure best practices for data security and regulatory compliance, announced that it has received certification for the new commercial Microsoft® Authorized Refurbisher (MAR) program. The MAR certification enables QSGI to install Windows® XP Professional and Windows® XP Home Edition software on refurbished PCs so that the computers can be resold with fully loaded operating systems.

Under the MAR program, QSGI benefits from a reduced royalty and receives access to Microsoft’s proprietary tools which simplify Windows® XP operation on restored or refurbished PCs. Additionally, each refurbished PC receives a Windows operating system Certificate of Authenticity (COA) before it is re-sold into the market. In order to be eligible for MAR certification, QSGI has met several eligibility requirements including adherence to the Department of Defense standards for all data erasure procedures, appropriate security measures in place to ensure the safe storage and handling of COAs, and compliance with local health, environmental, and safety policies.

Marc Sherman, chairman and chief executive officer of QSGI, commented, "We are excited about our new status as a Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher. This opportunity will set us apart from any competition that is not an MAR and will provide higher gross margins and extra remarketing dollars. With MAR and our remarketing relationships, we anticipate great demand for our refurbished products. In fact, we have over 5,000 units on back order that had been pending this approval. Additionally, this certification, combined with CCSI’s Microsoft Gold Partner status, further reinforces our commitment to delivering best-in-class services, while ensuring the proper ‘end-of-life’ security measures for our customers.”
