Grand Central's Business Services Network Facilitates

Customers' Existing Applications and Services
Boston, MA (Feb. 8, 2005)—OpenAir, the number one Professional Services
Automation (PSA) On Demand Solution, has partnered with Grand Central
Communications, Inc., the leading provider of Integration On DemandSM
solutions, to provide Grand Central's award-winning Business Services Network
to their customers.
OpenAir's PSA solutions enable services organizations to dramatically improve
staff utilization, increase cash flow, and increase project visibility. In
partnering with Grand Central, OpenAir joins other leading
software-as-a-service firms on Grand Central's Network, enabling them to
easily integrate their PSA solution with customers' other applications and
services in a cost effective, risk-free, on demand manner, which scales far
beyond traditional point-to-point enterprise software solutions. In addition,
by leveraging Grand Central's rich and rapidly growing Business Services
Directory, OpenAir can now easily assemble services into custom solutions and
transform its own on demand offering into a best-of-breed, on demand
application suite.
"Grand Central's Integration On Demand solution complements the OpenAir PSA
application," said Morris Panner, CEO of OpenAir. "By delivering integration
as an on demand service, Grand Central eliminates the pain and risk typically
associated with using traditional software solutions to integrate our PSA
application with other existing applications and services."
"As a leading On Demand Professional Services Automation solution, OpenAir is
a valuable addition to our ecosystem of on demand services," said Halsey Minor,
founder and chief executive officer of Grand Central Communications. "Now
