Dulles, VA - March 27, 2008 - Everest Software^®, the award-winning provider of business operating systems for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), is holding their annual user conference in New Orleans April 22-24. This location was chosen to help support the re-establishment of the city as a popular venue for events and provide a valuable influx of business dollars. The company will also be donating 10 percent of conference fees to the local Habitat for Humanity.

With over 1,000 companies and growing for its flagship business operating system, Everest Software has created an exciting venue for its customers to network and share their experiences. Because they are all, in effect, entrepreneurs they face many of the same issues. Today’s business environment is fraught with change as companies must manage complex business issues. The challenge has been how to manage the processes for these different channels, and more effectively integrate the information they generate to achieve much-needed overall business efficiency.

The major commonality for Everest customers is fast growth. It’s also a very experienced and insightful community. They readily provide feedback on new functionality they would like to have in the solution that runs their entire business, an offering that is quite unique and highly cost-effective compared with other offerings in the marketplace. Therefore Everest invests heavily in software development and produces a major release annually, with quarterly service upgrades that deliver new productivity-related features.

“I’m excited about attending Everest World; after a year using the software it seems we have only scratched the surface of Everest’s capabilities.” says Shannon Wright, president of promotional products company Xact Xpressions. “Networking with other users will be a real asset. Everest is an integral part of our business process.”

Everest 5.0 introduces much new functionality that helps customers streamline their business processes and improve their e-commerce capabilities. New eStorefront tools will enable a small business to emulate the large retailers in how they engage shoppers and convert them to buyers. At Everest World the entire gamut of business management using this 5.0 version is being addressed, including educational tracks on growing revenue in a multi-channel environment, productivity, technology and finance.

“We have a very demanding business segment,” says Ali Jani, Everest’s Chief Technology Officer. “Our customers are constantly reinventing themselves to grow their business and look to Everest to provide software solutions that enable their success.
