AdvanceNet Partners With Really Simple Systems to Deliver Simple Hosted CRM to Africa

Africa's Leading CRM Provider Set to Distribute the UK's Most Popular Web Based CRM System

LONDON, November 30 - AdvanceNet, www.advancenet.co.za/home.htm Africa's
leading CRM provider, announced today that it will be distributing simple
hosted CRM (www.reallysimplesystems.com/simple_crm.asp) systems from
the UK's largest online CRM (www.reallysimplesystems.com/evaluate.asp)
vendor, Really Simple Systems www.reallysimplesystems.com/ throughout
Africa. AdvanceNet will be adding Really Simple Systems web based CRM to its
portfolio of traditional in-house CRM products including Pivotal and
Microsoft Dynamics.

For 20 years, AdvanceNet has been providing sophisticated
business solutions for clients in over 30 African countries in industries
ranging from mining and logistics to financial services, telecommunications
and government. AdvanceNet has achieved significant success in the South
African marketed by placing CRM at the heart of business and technology
alignment, and will look to build on this with online CRM (
www.reallysimplesystems.com/) from Really Simple Systems.

Phil Hemsley, managing director of AdvanceNet, said, "The
combination of ease of use, reliability and speed over limited Internet
connections make Really Simple Systems Hosted CRM the ideal product for
African companies looking for a Software as a Service solution."

"The Really Simple Systems offering was really cost-effective
- some others were as much as ten times the price," says Gavin Green,
managing director of African Corporate Cleaning Services and an early adopter
of Really Simple Systems web based CRM in Johannesburg. Green adds, "We also
liked the hosted aspect - we did look at some 'on-premise' solutions, but
decided they weren't for us. We wanted the ease, security and reliability of
a hosted solution."

Earlier this year, online CRM provider Really Simple Systems
announced a joint venture between themselves and resellers 4Growth Inc. in
Toronto. This latest deal with AdvanceNet, coupled with recent reports from
Gartner indicating that SaaS revenue will grow by 18% in 2009[1], further
demonstrates the global demand for simple hosted CRM solutions and the shift
to SaaS which looks set to continue into 2010.
