Letter from the Publisher

Spring 2005

I write to you on a brief hiatus from our busy trade show schedule. We attended many successful shows in the first quarter and have a full calendar throughout the spring and summer. Trade shows are such a great way for us to reconnect with familiar faces and introduce ourselves to others. Welcome to those of you who are first-time readers of the newsletter. In this edition, we look at load testing from a project management perspective, introduce you to our Partner Alliance Program and share other important news and information.

I’d like to highlight one particularly significant event that happened to IQ Services. Last quarter, we joined the Mercury Technology Alliance and Solutions Partner Programs. Mercury Interactive Corporation is the global leader in business technology optimization (BTO) providing products that help customers optimize the business value of information technology. As a member of Mercury’s alliance programs, IQ Services can work with Mercury and our mutual customers to provide end-to-end testing including voice and network traffic. This testing will facilitate optimization of total system performance and demonstrate that systems are meeting performance requirements. We look forward to this new business relationship and the opportunities it will bring.

I hope all of you are off to a good start in 2005. We had a busy and challenging first quarter and expect the pace and challenge to increase as the year progresses. If you have topics you’d like discussed in the newsletter please let us know. Our objective is to provide you with information that will be helpful to your business activity with a dose of personal content. Thank you for participating.

Sincerely,


Jim Jenkins
President & CEO
