Thursday April 20, 12:05 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release EMC Extends EMC Proven Program to Solutions Integrators Leading Integrators to Design and Implement EMC Proven E-Infostructure HOPKINTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2000--EMC Corporation, the world's leading provider of enterprise storage systems, software and services, announced today the EMC Proven Integration program. The new certification program is the next step in the company's ongoing effort to simplify the critical task customers face building information infrastructure. It ensures qualified solutions providers, system integrators and consulting firms have the skills and experience needed to design and implement a robust and scalable IT foundation capable of meeting the changing needs of an Internet-fueled business. Building on the success of the EMC Proven E-Infostructure program announced in October 1999, the EMC Proven Integration program identifies and trains solutions integrators to deploy EMC E-Infostructure -- a highly scalable, constantly available infrastructure capable of meeting the enormous information management demands of today's Web-enabled companies. EMC Proven consultants pass a rigorous review and demonstrate a deep knowledge of EMC products and services. Consultants work with Internet-based businesses to implement the storage resources needed to operate at peak efficiency, adapt to a constantly changing business climate and easily manage Internet-driven growth. ``Our Internet-driven customers don't have the internal expertise or time to deal with unproven, piece-part IT solutions,' said Eva Losacco, President, Forsythe Solutions Group. ``The EMC Proven Integration certification demonstrates to our customers that Forysthe has the experience and skills necessary to deploy a proven infrastructure to withstand the demands of e-business and capitalize on today's Internet economy.' Internet business leaders, and the venture capital firms that fund them, have recognized EMC as the tested and proven supplier for information-centric systems, software and services required to build best-of-breed IT infrastructures. EMC Proven is a family of certification programs to help businesses identify the best partners and information infrastructure solutions to operate in the 24-hour Internet workday. EMC Proven is an industry standard upon which investors and clients can measure commitment to future success and the promise of customer satisfaction. ``On the Internet, time is a precious resource,' said Mike Ruffolo, Executive Vice President of Global Sales, Service and Marketing for EMC. ``Companies must quickly scale to meet the demands of their customers and stay ahead of competition. EMC Proven Integration makes it easier for integrators -- and the customers they work with -- to rapidly build a robust information infrastructure finely tuned for success in the Internet economy.'
