Press Release Summary: MaintenanceNet's Service360 Platform Sets New Standards for
Service Sales Success at Ingram Micro

Press Release Body: CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Sept. 29, 2008 -- The IT Services Marketing
Association (ITSMA) has recognized Ingram Micro, Inc., the world's largest
technology distributor, as a finalist in the "Enabling Sales" category for the
organization's 11th annual Marketing Excellence Awards. The recognition comes as a
result of Ingram Micro's innovative use of MaintenanceNet, Inc.'s Service360
platform, which transforms sales and marketing processes while delivering proven
increases in overall profitability to manufacturers and their channel partners.

"It's a tremendous honor to receive this recognition in conjunction with our
customer, Ingram Micro," said Scott Herron, CEO of MaintenanceNet, Inc., the leading
provider of extended warranty and service contract management solutions. "By
choosing Ingram Micro as a finalist, ITSMA validates the business goals that
MaintenanceNet has worked so hard to achieve, along with the value that we bring to
our customers' marketing and sales initiatives."

When Ingram Micro embarked upon an initiative to expand its service contract
business, it selected MaintenanceNet to develop an on-demand service contract
management platform for no-cost use by thousands of resellers nationwide. What
resulted was the Reseller Services Portal, based upon MaintenanceNet's Service360
platform, which provides Ingram Micro with 360-degree views into service contract
lifecycles, while setting new standards for sales success. Ingram Micro has achieved
millions of dollars in new service revenue streams, and more than 5,600 of its
resellers have accessed the portal to retrieve, track and grow maintenance contract
opportunities.

Marketing Excellence Award winners will be announced on November 4, 2008 at ITSMA's
annual marketing conference, for which this year's theme is "Maximizing Marketing's
Influence: The New Marketing Rules." Additional information about ITSMA and its
