PETALING JAYA, 20 May 2003: A subsidiary of Dataprep Holdings Bhd, Solsis (M) Sdn Bhd received the "Reseller of the Year" award today from Novell Corporation (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd at an award presentation held at Novell's office premise. Dr. Andy Woo, Novell's Managing Director ASEAN, presented the award to En. Ahmad Rizan Ibrahim, Managing Director of Solsis.

"This is an honour for Solsis, as we are proud to be associated with Novell as well as receiving this recognition. It will definitely reinforce Solsis' strength and ability not only as a strategic networking partner of Novell but as an international-class solutions provider offering a compatible and sophisticated range of end-to-end ICT solutions to the marketplace," states Rizan.

Dr. Woo described this award as, "a tribute to Solsis as they deserve this recognition for their resilient and motivated spirit. Having worked with Solsis for close to a decade now, we are aware of their capabilities as a total solutions provider for customers of both Solsis and Novell, providing products, solutions and joint consulting services."

Having commenced a working relationship since the mid nineties, Solsis is recognised by Novell as a "Platinum Partner." With the "Reseller of the Year" award to add to Solsis' eminence, Novell looks forward to strengthening the relationship with their Malaysian top re-seller, Solsis.

Novell can now look forward to Solsis being more involved in further developing ICT solutions including managed services throughout Malaysia. As both Novell and Solsis strongly believe in giving the client the best customised solution, Rizan states, "Novell stands out clearly in their area of expertise, they have certainly been a class act and Solsis today is well known in the industry and provides turnkey solutions. Together, Solsis and Novell aim to ensure a high level of client satisfaction is attained.

He added, "With our combined resources and innovations, our extensive business and technology experience, and our commitment to our clients, we look forward to achieving greater client satisfaction."

"Having worked on several projects together, Solsis earned the 'Reseller of the Year' award, not solely based on numbers but their ability to understand their clients needs and provide suitable solutions to meet those needs. Delivering based on each customer's requirement and ensuring their satisfaction are the vital factors leading to this award, said Dr. Woo.

Solsis aims to do better this year despite the economic climate and targets a 30% sales increase compared to last year.
