			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NEWBURYPORT, MA – (August 8, 2011) – AgilePath Corporation, a leading IT<br />
management and technology consulting firm, today is proud to announce its new<br />
partnership with CGI, a full IT service provider.<br />
The partnership with CGI is focused on the delivery of Government IT contract services.<br />
The first engagement is a multi-year governance effort for the State of California<br />
Franchise Tax Board (FTB).<br />
AgilePath’s main focus of work within FTB will be for the Enterprise Data to Revenue<br />
(EDR) project with an emphasis on enterprise governance, incorporating the EDR<br />
governance into a consistent fabric of governance across all of the FTB.<br />
Ms. Gerri Magers, Project Director for the EDR Initiative of CGI stated, “We chose<br />
AgilePath to partner with us on the EDR project given AgilePath’s experience and<br />
proven methodology on legacy modernization projects.” EDR is a state sponsored<br />
program to focus on the California Tax Gap and improving tax collections throughout the<br />
state.<br />
Governance is a key component of modernization efforts as companies replace legacy<br />
systems, expand their use of Service Oriented Architectures, and explore Cloud<br />
Computing. The AgilePath approach ensures a consistent application of best practices<br />
and institutional controls when organizations look to newer technologies to improve their<br />
business.<br />
“This is an exciting opportunity for AgilePath to partner with proven leader like CGI.<br />
The two companies have synergies that provide a combination of expertise to bring<br />
forward as a team for the EDR engagement. This will only help FTB with their future<br />
strategies and directions,” stated Mr. Eric Marks, President and CEO of AgilePath<br />
Corporation.<br />
AgilePath looks forward to a long lasting relationship with CGI and future opportunities<br />
to support our West Coast business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>As Seen In… Forbes, May 9, 2011</em></p>
<p>When AgilePath Corporation earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies the first year it was eligible, President and CEO Eric Marks was pleased but not surprised.</p>
<blockquote><p>In 2009, AgilePath was ranked #723 on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest- Growing Private Companies.</p></blockquote>
<p>After all, the Newburyport, Massachusetts based IT professional services firm, founded in 2003, had quickly made a name for itself as a thought leader in helping businesses and organizations take full advantage of emerging technologies such as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Cloud computing. And Marks is the author or co-author of six cutting-edge books on how these technological breakthroughs can help companies of all sizes become more agile and achieve operational excellence. Cloud computing, he explains, allows users of computers and other devices to obtain shared resources, such as infrastructure, development platforms, and software and information on-demand, via the Internet, paying only for what they use. Technologies like SOA and Cloud computing are enabling business model innovation and enterprise agility, while driving cost and resource efficiencies in parallel.</p>
<p>AgilePath provides management, technology and systems engineering consulting to commercial and federal government customers, helping them make the best technology choices for their specific needs and realize their business objectives from those choices. For example, the firm was recently retained by a Department of Defense agency to develop a Cloud computing strategy, technical reference architecture and an implementation plan based on AgilePath’s Cloud Computing Playbook™ methodology.</p>
<p>“We’re vendor-neutral,” Marks stresses, “so we don’t re-sell software. Rather, we help our clients achieve their strategic goals through the adoption of emerging technologies.”</p>
<p>As for that Inc. ranking, Marks says AgilePath is on track to do even better this year. In fact, it is opening a new office, in Concord, California, to serve a growing West Coast clientele. “We’re growing rapidly, and we’re bullish on our future.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>“Executive’s Guide to Cloud Computing”</h3>
<p>NEWBURYPORT, MA – (May 3, 2010) – AgilePath Corporation, a leading management<br />
consulting firm and Appistry, the enterprise cloud platform leader today announced the<br />
release of the book “Executive’s Guide to Cloud Computing,” published by John Wiley &amp;<br />
Sons, and co-authored by Mr. Eric Marks, president and CEO of AgilePath, and Mr. Bob<br />
Lozano, founder and advisor of Appistry.</p>
<p>“Business and technology executives have demanded an insightful guidebook that explains<br />
cloud computing and provides tools such as the Cloud Adoption Model, a pragmatic Cloud<br />
Computing Reference Model, as well as a series of adoption approaches to help organizations<br />
get started applying cloud computing to their business and mission challenges,” said Marks.<br />
“This book will be a valuable desktop reference for those executives.”</p>
<p>“We created this book and have assembled this webinar series because there is surprisingly<br />
little information available about cloud computing from the enterprise IT executive<br />
perspective,” said Lozano. “With the enterprise emerging as the next battleground for the<br />
cloud, we hope for this book to service as the go-to resource covering the steps for tackling<br />
the issues and concerns specific to the enterprise.”</p>
<p>Executive’s Guide to Cloud Computing provides the critical information that business and<br />
technology executives need to understand cloud computing, and then to plan, invest,<br />
and deploy cloud computing solutions to achieve targeted business results.</p>
<p>AgilePath and Appistry have developed a proven partnership in providing cloud<br />
computing solutions and services leveraging AgilePath’s Cloud Computing Playbook™,<br />
Cloud Computing Reference Model, and CloudSprint™ Methodology, as well as Appistry’s<br />
best-in-class solution, Appistry CloudIQ Platform.</p>
<p>To support the release of Executive’s Guide to Cloud Computing, AgilePath and Appistry<br />
announced a series of joint Webinars to focus on key themes from the book, such as<br />
the compelling value proposition of cloud computing, how to get started, and how to<br />
achieve agility, scalability and efficiency with both private and public clouds. These will<br />

comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy – America’s independentminded<br />
entrepreneurs. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S.<br />
economy.</p>
<p>“Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism,” said<br />
Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young,<br />
underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge<br />
business models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth.”</p>

and superior return on IT investments. AgilePath’s practices and solutions focus on serviceoriented<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Establishes Healthcare SOA Practice for Providers and Payers</h2>
<p>NEWBURYPORT, MA—July 16, 2007 – AgilePath Corporation, a leading service-oriented<br />
architecture (SOA) management and technology consulting firm, announced a<br />
new SOA contract with Partners Healthcare, its first in the healthcare industry. AgilePath<br />
will be providing SOA consulting services to Partners in support of its internal SOA<br />
initiative. This contract formalizes AgilePath’s entry into the healthcare industry to<br />
provide its industry leading solutions for SOA strategy, SOA governance, enterprise<br />
architecture and SOA implementation services.</p>
<p>“AgilePath’s SOA Governance Playbook™ methodology is an industry-leading solution<br />
for assessing, designing and implementing SOA governance processes, policies and<br />
enabling technology in support of Partners’ SOA strategy,” stated Eric Marks, President<br />
and CEO of AgilePath Corporation. “We are pleased and excited with the opportunity to<br />
demonstrate the value of AgilePath’s SOA solutions in support of this strategic<br />
relationship with Partners.”</p>
<p>AgilePath redefined the SOA governance landscape in February 2006 with its SOA<br />

establishing SOA governance capabilities, organizational models, processes and policies<br />
to support client SOA initiatives.</p>
<p>“Taking an SOA approach to clinical systems development and integration is a key<br />
strategic initiative for Partners,” stated Steve Flammini, Chief Technology Officer of<br />
Partners IS. “Our engagement with AgilePath will enhance our ability to execute on our<br />
SOA strategy and grow our SOA program across our enterprise.”</p>
