Business Wire, June 24, 2009

FULTON, Md. -- Quality Associates, Inc. (QAI) (www.qualityassociatesinc.com), an established provider of services and solutions for document management, imaging, and archiving, announced that it has been recognized by Everything Channel as a VAR500 “25 to Watch.” The VAR500 is made up of the top solution-provider revenue producers headquartered in North America. This year, Everything Channel introduced the “25 To Watch” list of companies — those that are on the cusp of breaking into the VAR500.

The VAR500 list details the leading revenue producers among technology integrators and technology solution provider organizations in North America. The list’s ranking is based on gross worldwide revenue of hardware and software sales, as well as earnings from professional and managed information technology (IT) services.

Quality Associates President Paul Swidersky said, “We are extremely pleased and honored at our inclusion on the VAR500 “25 to Watch” list. For more than 20 years, QAI has focused on providing top-notch customer service and bringing the best technology and insights to our clients – whether they are a large federal agency, a state or county government, a government contractor, or a multinational firm. Our steady growth demonstrates the commitment of each of our employees and the strength of the company as a whole.”

The complete listing of the VAR500 is published in the May 2009 issue and can be found online at www.channelweb.com.

To complete the 2009 ranking of the 500 largest North American solution providers, system integrators, VARs, and IT consultants were asked to complete an online questionnaire to determine prequalification. In February 2009, Everything Channel conducted extensive research and analyzed the data. Independent data sourcing (e.g., SEC filings, annual reports, etc.) also was conducted. Finalists were ranked according to their fiscal year 2008 revenue, based only on their reseller-related services business.

Quality Associates focuses on providing services to government agencies and private companies in regulated industries such as accounting, legal, healthcare, and finance. Quality Associates is a GSA Federal Supply Service (FSS) contract holder.
