Dulles, VA –February 10 2009 – Everest^® Software, the leading retail and wholesale business management software provider launched their Independent Software Vender (ISV) program. The first partnership in this new program is with Green eStep, a privately held software services company, which will market and support Everest Software products in the Asian and Middle East region. Everest partnered with Green eStep to take advantage of the growing and outperforming SMB market in these countries. Everest is also actively seeking ISV partners to cater to other regions.

Everest’s new ISV program encourages service providers to market, support, and develop tailored solutions around the Everest Advanced^TM platform in various practice areas to meet the local and international SMB needs. Everest selected Green eStep as their first ISV partner based on a number of criteria, including their core team with prior experience of marketing and supporting Everest products. Green eStep‘s deep domain knowledge and ability to drive value and innovation across Everest’s product line made them a perfect fit. As an ISV partner, they will provide the OEM version of Everest and support services to select markets in the AMEA region. This partnership will give customers a much lower cost of ownership while getting local/regional support.

Edwin Miller, Everest Software’s CEO stated, “Small business retailers and wholesalers, both B2B and B2C, are growing worldwide. It’s a great time to enter these untapped markets. We plan to enter Europe and other parts of Asia with partners in 2009.”

“As an ISV partner, I am very excited to showcase Everest product capabilities in the new emerging markets in Asia and Middle East countries,” said Sunil Kumar, founder of Green eStep.

There is no dominant player for SMB software products in this part of the world. In fact, the segment of companies in the $5-$100 million revenue range is incredibly underserved. Everest is aiming to dramatically reduce the time-to-market internationally by partnering with global firms and welcome strategic partnership opportunities.
