Year Established: 2004 Number of Employees: 40 Number of Locations: 2

We have spent our company lifetime focused on our customers and helping drive their values. This will remain our commitment. Yet, our current marketing strategy is centered on increasing general awareness of our organization, as well as education initiatives centered on the specific services and products that Contegix provides. What are your predictions for the remainder of 2011 and 2012? We believe there is a fundamental flaw in how cloud computing is being provided by the marketplace today. Contegix is releasing exciting news in the second half of 2011 regarding our cloud infrastructure as a service offering to address this need. Combined with our overall brand strategy and continued hyper-focus on our customers, Contegix will gain significant market share in this growing sector of the market, especially as business pushes from the on-premise to off-premise. We expect to continue expanding our position in the area of traditional managed hosting as well as the growing area of cloud infrastructure as a service in 2012.

How have technology advances affected your business? Our industry is constantly evolving; currently our industry has shifted focus into cloud infrastructure as a service. The features of these systems are changing rapidly and Contegix is focused on innovation and development to broaden our offerings to match this rapid growth in infrastructure choice, and the accompanying managed services. Additionally, increased automation, dynamic managed service offerings and more choices for enterprise applications are all adding to our core capabilities. We are seeing a fundamental shift from customer on-premise IT infrastructures to agile, flexible infrastructures managed by trusted IT

infrastructure companies, such as Contegix. What are the biggest issues facing your company?

Contegix is known for unmatched client support and customer service by virtue of client referral and word-of-mouth marketing. However, in the larger marketplace, Contegix lacks brand recognition in a heavily commoditized market.
