MRK Hostwindow Announces Name Change to Independence IT

New Name Reflects the Company's Expanding Role as the Virtual IT Department for Small and Mid-sized Business

Allentown, PA — June 15, 2009 — MRK Hostwindow, a leading provider of application hosting and infrastructure management solutions for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced that it has changed its name to Independence IT and launched its new website: www.IndependenceIT.com. This new corporate identity reflects the company's growing position as the virtual IT department of choice, enabling all size businesses to leverage enterprise-class availability, security and agility.

"Businesses often struggle to keep up with their technology investments and those with multiple locations and virtual workforces need to provide their employees with anytime, anywhere access to their data and systems," said Chip Buck, CTO at Independence IT. "That's where we come in. As our new company tag line says 'Leave IT to us'. We are able to off load burdens of IT management for our clients and provide a more efficient and cost-effective solution than managing technology in-house."

Through predictable monthly fees, the company delivers secure, high performance access to its clients' systems and data from an Internet-connected computer. Hosting its clients' software and data through a Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) model, Independence IT provides a best-in-class solution as evidenced by its SAS 70 Type II certification.

Independence IT provides top quality user support through its easily accessible customer support team 24x7 and even offers service level agreements that include a money-backed guarantee against unplanned downtime.

Tony Whitton, Independence IT's CEO added, "Our team is truly passionate about technology. Utilizing a structured, disciplined approach to address the individual needs of each of our clients, and with our deep understanding and commitment to internal controls we are able to support clients across the country and the globe."
