EMIS INC. GAINS MICROSOFT GOLD PARTNER STATUS IN CANADA

Achieves status independent of UK parent

Edmonton, AB - 27 January 2009 –

EMIS Inc., the Canadian operation of EMIS Group Limited (Leeds, UK) is proud to announce that it has expanded its Canadian relationship with Microsoft and independently achieved Gold Certified Partner status directly with Microsoft.

EMIS Group has globally maintained very strong ties with Microsoft based on EMIS’ activities in the UK, and in fact is one of Microsoft's highlighted partners in areas such as the Common User Interface (CUI). While EMIS Group and Microsoft have collectively benefitted from this relationship around the world, EMIS Inc. establishing itself as a Gold Certified Partner independent of EMIS Group not only demonstrates both EMIS' global commitment to Canada, but the capacity of EMIS Inc. in Canada to continually deliver value to its Canadian clients independently from its UK-based parent.

"This is a superb achievement for EMIS Inc.'s Infrastructure, Architecture and Development teams based in Canada, and underscores our commitment to best practices and standards in all aspects of our business.", stated Jon Beeby, Chief Technical Officer of EMIS Inc.

EMIS Inc. and Microsoft in Canada will now begin collaborating oon several Canadian-centric activities in order to add value to Canadian healthcare providers and patient’s alike.
