Business Editors/High-Tech Writers:

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2003 --Tejes Services Inc, an information technology services firm, today announced its official launch with a roster of eleven accounts in three vertical industry sectors: banking, healthcare and professional services.

Tejes Services provides a suite of reliable and affordable outsourced IT management services, including network architecture, set up and maintenance; web site and application development; and biometric security implementations, such as iris and fingerprint scanning. Tejes Services, based in Superior, Colorado, provides services throughout the Front Range.

"Tejes is a new kind of IT services firm, combining complete IT network capabilities, web support and application services and biometrics -- all at prices that are the most competitive in the region," said founder and director of technology Anil Kumar Vijay. "We specialize in meeting the needs of small- and medium-sized businesses who need the cost effectiveness of outsourced IT services and the rapid response time that we guarantee."

"I've known the Tejes Services team members for several years. They understand how critical it is for my network to be up and running 24 hours a day," stated Karla Trippe, managing partner of a local integrated marketing firm. "Anil and his team have a breadth of IT experience that results in well-conceived IT strategy and impeccable service execution. They are good thinkers and good people that we can rely on."

"I can personally attest to Tejes Services' emergency response time," said Jag Khatter, vice president of SeniorMed Pharmacy, based in Aurora. "Our network went down over a weekend, and the Tejes team responded within one hour, diagnosed the problem and fixed it. That's the sort of responsiveness that makes a difference in our business."

Anil Kumar Vijay and his team are well versed in a variety of network infrastructures, including all Microsoft servers and applications. The team can also provide interoperability between a wide range of operating systems to allow cross-platform access.

The name "Tejes" is derived from the Sanskrit word "tej," meaning "luminous, keen and swift" -- all relevant to the nature of the company's services. On a personal note, added Vijay: "'Tejes' has a special significance. It was also the first name of my father."
