Jelecos Acquires Omaha-based Exanium
Building on Momentum of Industry’s Consolidation

OMAHA, Neb., (April 16th, 2004) – Jelecos, a hosting, development, and managed service provider, announced today it has completed the acquisition of Exanium Global Internet Services' Hosting and Development Division. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

News of the acquisition comes after several studies report increased consolidation activities in the Internet Services and Hosting market.

“Today’s announcement is an exciting development,” said Leon Thomas, president of Jelecos. “It is a classic example of the consolidation seen lately in the Internet services industry. Companies no longer need to rely on multiple vendors to develop and host a website or E-commerce solution. These companies are migrating to full-service hosting, development and managed service providers like Jelecos.”

Exanium Global Internet Services, the privately owned Omaha-based managed Internet service company, provided shared hosting, dedicated hosting and consulting solutions, along with E-commerce and managed security services.

Today’s announcement is poised to strengthen Jelecos’ technology solutions services for companies in the region that have no IT staff devoted to Internet-related projects or have limited IT staff resources. The acquisition gives these companies access to a full spectrum of custom-built, Internet-based services and technologies.

Jelecos’ technology services including hosting, web development, business intelligence, and content management.
