Supportgate.com Announces SafeHarbor.com

As New Service Vendor Alliance (SVA) Member

San Diego, Calif. (August 15, 2000) -- Supportgate.com, the leading industry portal for IT support professionals, announced today that SafeHarbor.com, a Web-focused customer service outsourcer, has joined the Service Vendor Alliance (SVA), a membership organization dedicated to bringing IT support service buyers and sellers together online. SVA is a community that resides at the Web address www.supportgate.com. The primary focus of SVA is to increase the visibility of vendors and suppliers within the IT service and support community.

“We’re extremely excited about having SafeHarbor.com join our Service Vendor Alliance community,” said Bill Rose, SSPA Founder/Executive Director. “They have created a leading-edge Web service company that is helping every day to define the future direction of technical support.”

SafeHarbor.com is a Web services company built from the ground up to provide fully integrated Web-based support solutions that are enhanced by the telephone -- not defined by it. SafeHarbor.com delivers interactive Web solutions through a customized KnowledgeBASE, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and expert Knowledge Engineers. The self-service knowledge base environment is intuitive and searchable, and is constantly updated with the latest support issues and solutions. The self-help driven approach to support on the Web is also backed by multi-channel, one-on-one assistance including advanced chat, email, Web case, or phone.

"As a Web-focused business, joining the leading industry portal for support services was a logical and natural step," stated Bo Wandell, president and co-founder, SafeHarbor.com. "The visibility that this online community affords us will further our mission of delivering superior customer support to businesses that want to succeed online."

SafeHarbor.com is the latest member of the SVA program, which includes companies such as Lionbridge Technologies, Blue Pumpkin Software, Brigade Solutions, Support.com, Inference Corporation, Motive Communications, CustomerSat.com, Remedy Corporation, Servicesoft Corporation, Sykes Enterprises, Software911, Applix, Inc., PeopleSoft, Ask Jeeves, ServiceWare, ePeople, InsightExpress, LLC, Previo and others.

As the SVA grows the virtual trade show floor will correspondingly entice buyers to the Supportgate.com Web Site. Other SVA Membership benefits include: Supportgate.com Banner Advertisements * SVA Information Exchange * SSPA Market Research Results * Support Practices Survey * The SVA Forum * Customized Survey of the SSPA Membership * Access to International Markets * SupportWeek Infoletter Visibility * SSPA Events Speaking Opportunities * Discounts for Event Registrations and Sponsorship Opportunities.
