OneNeck IT Services Announces Major Outsourcing Agreement with MissaBay Citrus Company

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., February 28, 2002- OneNeck IT Services, Corporation today announced it has signed a multi-year contract to provide complete 24x7 outsourcing services supporting MissaBay Citrus Company's enterprise resource planning systems. The contract provisions include 24x7x365 support center services, data center management, application and database administration, network management and functional support.

Commenting on the contract, Dawne Britney, Vice President of OneNeck said, "We are extremely excited about the opportunity to support MissaBay, further expanding our outsourcing solution model. MissaBay is a perfect example of our target market; a mid- market manufacturer and distributor who wants to outsource their IT operations, thereby focusing on core competencies, and providing a stable infrastructure to enable their growth."

Pat Graham, Director of Information Technology for MissaBay said, "Information technology is not our core competency. We are an entrepreneurial driven manufacturer and distributor of innovative, fresh food products. We are good at our business, and to help us become better at what we do, we chose Baan as our ERP package in 1998, and we now choose OneNeck IT Services as our outsourcing partner. My team and I searched long and hard, reviewing several outsourcing options – Hosting Companies; MSP's; and IT Staffing/Consulting companies – but none of these options could provide us with the complete Baan application, Informix database and data center outsourcing solution OneNeck IT Services can provide."
