CA-Plus Inc. was named winner of the prestigious 2005 Consumers Choice Award for Best Computer Consulting Company.

"Frankly, I was a little surprised" admits the Principal of CA-Plus Inc. "We all work very hard to deliver top notch service to our ACCPAC and MISys clients. But to be voted Best in the entire Computer Consulting industry is an absolute thrill".

Craig Downing, Vice President and General Manager of Sage ACCPAC stated "After growing to become the largest ACCPAC integrator in North America, it is great to see that CA-Plus is providing service excellence to our joint customer base."

The principal concluded "We want to give a very big thank you to all our clients and especially those that took the time to vote."

The principal continued, "The Consumer’s Choice award is a sign that our focus on excellent customer service is being very well received. We have set processes and people in place to make sure our customers spend their time working on their business not on their business software. For 2005 we have added a full time telephone technical support person to provide immediate answers to questions and resolve problems. Our Tech Support Tuesday initiative has been very well received." From 2PM – 5PM on Tuesday’s CA-Plus customers can call in for FREE TELEPHONE TECHNICAL SUPPORT at 1-888-3CA-PLUS.

"Our commitment to our customers is to share their vision of what they want to achieve, knowing that our reputation and success rests with each and every satisfied client" concluded the principal and owner of CA-Plus.

CA-Plus announces the opening of our newest office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

"This is a great step in our goal of supporting ACCPAC clients across the country" stated Rob Carter President of CA-Plus. "As our customers open new offices across the country we want to be there with local support and service for their ACCPAC, MISys and computer networking needs."

"As the Canadian economy grows across our vast geography, we see the need for a local presence across the nation. Our Edmonton office is certainly benefiting from high oil prices and the growth of the Alberta economy. With Saskatchewan becoming a "have" province, potash at record high prices and the diversifying economy we see a large potential there", explained Mr. Carter.

CA-Plus Inc. also continues to deepen our Strategic Alliance with auditing firm, Grant Thornton. Across the Niagara peninsula, in our Hamilton, St.Catharines and Port Colborne offices we have added technical staff and are investing in marketing. In Ontario, we see a strong potential as manufacturers learn to adjust to the high dollar and as Ontario cements its position as the largest automotive producing jurisdiction in North America. Higher productivity and lower operating costs are the challenge our customers are facing and that is what CA-Plus delivers.

The $US 110 million acquisition of ACCPAC adds 540,000 customers to the Best Family of products and provides a rock solid hold on the Canadian accounting software market. Historically, Best does not drop product lines, instead their strength is in cross selling. For ACCPAC, Best announced continuous product enhancements and an application integration strategy to enable ACCPAC accounting software to integrate with the full line of Best's business management applications and industry specific solutions.

Reaching out to ACCPAC customers, Ron Verni, CEO of Sage Software, issued the following letter:

Dear Current or Prospective Best Customer,
Best Software has recently grown with the acquisition of ACCPAC International. ACCPAC brings a number of world-class products to the Best family including the ACCPAC Advantage Series, the ACCPAC Pro Series and ACCPAC CRM.
We are committed to the continued enhancement and expansion of these products, as we are with our other Mid-Market Sage brands, including MAS 90, MAS 200, MAS 500, BusinessWorks, Platinum for Windows by Best, TimeSheet Professional, MIP, Abra, FAS, SalesLogix and Timberline. We encourage you to discuss your specific business needs with our staff and a Best Software Certified Business Partner, and we will together help you select the ideal product for your business.
Thank you for the opportunity to work with you to earn your continued confidence and loyalty.
Sincerely,



Ron Verni
