Brno, Czech Republic - October 15, 2002

Moravia IT, the leading provider of localization and testing services, announced it has been selected as Premier Vendor for Microsoft, (NASDAQ: MSFT), the worldwide leader in software, services and Internet technologies for personal and business computing.

Microsoft utilizes a rigorous selection process for elevation to Premier Vendor status. The criteria for selection were designed by Microsoft to identify those vendors who are qualified, and have the scalable capacity, to undertake a significant proportion of Microsoft's outsourced localization work. Some categories of criteria under assessment were performance track record, the outcome of previous projects completed by the vendor company as well as the company's ability to meet Microsoft's growing requirements.

"We are pleased to award Moravia Premier status as a localization vendor. Microsoft has worked with Moravia for several years and recognizes the experience and systems that have been built to consistently deliver high quality work," said Bernhard Kohlmeier, Director Integrated Product Services at Microsoft.

"Few vendors will receive this coveted Premier status from Microsoft," said Katerina Forstingerova, CEO of Moravia IT, one of the largest localization companies in Europe. "We see the selection of our company as a recognition of Moravia's successful completion of key Microsoft products in over 11 languages during the last 7 years. It is a great honor for our company to be selected, and exemplifies the dedication of our respective teams, as well as of Moravia's partners around the world, to work together in the true spirit of partnership."
