Park City Solutions Acquires Kelltech Internet Services,

a Leading Provider of Web Based Intelligent Content Management

and Developer of Local, IDN-Branded Health Communities

Park City Solutions (PCS) Tuesday announced the acquisition of Kelltech Internet Services (PCS/Kelltech), a leading Internet application service provider.

Based in Independence, Ohio, PCS/Kelltech has empowered over 500 companies and healthcare organizations with its industry leading web content management toolset that provides an environment of content sharing and collaboration amongst their employees.

PCS/Kelltech creates a virtual branding strategy for their healthcare and IDN clients that is built upon a foundation of intelligent content management and web-enabled legacy systems. The PCS/Kelltech solutions enable organizations to transform their static information based web sites into dynamic, comprehensive e-commerce tools.

PCS/Kelltech's clients include: The Cleveland Clinic, Summacare, HSRS (U.S. Navy, DOD), The Center for Health Affairs, and Allied Healthcare.

PCS/Kelltech's solutions have enabled The Cleveland Clinic to manage and maintain a significant web presence with over 40 disparate divisions of their organization empowered to manage their domain specific content while allowing the IDN to establish and maintain a brand and image in a consistent and seamless manner.

In addition to empowering The Cleveland Clinic's Internet site, the PCS/Kelltech toolset also provides an operating environment for maintaining the Clinic's vast Intranet by allowing a wide range of non-IT experienced content providers to easily update the site without any knowledge of web page development or any reliance on corporate web masters.

Examples of this tool and how it can be used are available at www.parkcitysolutions.com/km.> Samuel Keller, president and chief executive officer of PCS/Kelltech said, "Our Company has grown at an explosive rate over the past four years because of our ability to deliver quality Internet solutions and infrastructures to our clients.

"These solutions support existing business models, provide high-payback operational improvements, and dramatically improve the real-time nature of our client's web environment.

"We have succeeded in providing a simple way for key players in every organization -- from CEO's to Physicians, PR Staff to Department Assistants -- to dynamically update content of a web page while maintaining and enhancing the corporate image and local branding of the organization.

"This has transformed our client's static web sites into dynamic communications vehicles overnight. By joining Park City Solutions, we position ourselves in an enhanced infrastructure to capitalize on the current market opportunities surrounding online health while maintaining our high standards for quality of people and client services."

PCS/Kelltech provides its clients with experienced professionals who facilitate Internet application development and systems integration projects as well as ongoing support and maintenance for all aspects of an organization's web investment.

Kelltech has earned a reputation in the healthcare industry as a firm with a comprehensive understanding of the on-line environment and the ability to convert that understanding into workable solutions for their clients.

Terry Pitts, president and CEO of Park City Solutions said, "Kelltech is a critical platform acquisition for Park City Solutions upon which to build our Internet/e-health strategy within our growing family of companies. Healthcare entities have traditionally struggled to brand comprehensive Internet solutions that seamlessly integrate all IDN, hospital, doctor and patient perspectives.

"By simultaneously providing a health organization's web portal, integration expertise into existing transactional systems, and empowering all content contributors within an organization to keep the web presence fresh and updated, Park City Solutions can provide immediate and cost effective e-health solutions for our clients.

"Park City Solutions will utilize Kelltech's web operating system toolset as the foundation of our e-health strategy; employing in particular its advanced Internet development, integration and optimization tools to help health organizations build integrated, locally branded, constantly updated, and informative web positions."

Park City Solutions is the result of a partnership of the Chicago-based private equity investment firm, GTCR Golder Rauner LLC, and industry leaders Terry A. Pitts, Scott Holbrook, and Scott Remley. GTCR is a leading private equity firm with more than $3 billion in equity capital invested in a wide range of consolidating service businesses.

GTCR pioneered the investment strategy of identifying and then partnering with exceptional executives to consolidate fragmented or growth industries. GTCR has built more than 110 companies in a wide range of sectors including information services, healthcare, outsourcing, distribution, and communications.
