Analysts International Acquires Redwood Solutions

Analysts International Corporation (NASDAQ:ANLY) today announced that it has acquired the assets of Redwood Solutions, a Michigan-based information technology services company that specializes in integrating hardware and software solutions for data storage and retrieval systems. As a result of the agreement, all of Redwood Solutions' assets, employees and service offerings will become part of Analysts International's Storage Solutions Group. Terms and conditions of the transaction were not disclosed, but Company officials noted that the consideration for the acquisition would come from current cash resources, common stock and a management earn out.

The demand for storage solutions -- technology and applications that manage and protect data -- is growing rapidly as a result of the increased federal requirements for the archiving of records and communications in key industries like healthcare and financial services. Also fueling the trend is the rising demand for business continuity and disaster recovery systems. According to industry experts, the global market for storage management software is expected to reach $7.1 billion by 2008.

"Some companies are doubling the amount of data they store every year," said Jeff Baker, president of Analysts International. "The need to archive e-mail, financial records and operational databases is now part of the cost of doing business. We expect the demand for storage solutions to continue to grow as organizations address the need to manage and secure massive amounts of data while reducing their total cost of ownership. This agreement with Redwood Solutions is another step in our strategy to provide advanced technology products and services to our clients."

"As a leader in delivering storage technology, we are very pleased to join Analysts International and look forward to being part of one of the nation's leading technology delivery companies," said Marc Grove, president of Redwood Solutions. "By combining our capabilities in providing specialized storage solutions and services with Analysts International's expertise in integrating emerging technologies, we are able to offer our customers an expanded set of products and services in this critical business area."
