Ottawa, October 25, 2006, - LPI Level Platforms Inc. earned two out of seven 2006 XChange Xcellence awards at CMP Media's 2006 XChange Tech Innovators at an awards ceremony in Huntington Beach, CA this week. Awards in the categories of Best Software Solution and Best Revenue Generator were determined by the votes of the several hundred solution providers attending the prestigious event. Level Platforms was recognized for its industry leading Managed Workplace software that provides everything a managed services provider needs to remotely monitor and manage their end customers' IT networks through a single web based central dashboard. The XChange Xcellence award program is sponsored by CMP Media's XChange Conferences, the global leader in face to face events.

The XChange Xcellence Awards measure overall business and technology integrator perceptions of vendor products and services during an XChange Conference. XChange attendees evaluate and score each vendor’s presentation, message and presence during the three day conference. The results are tabulated on site and awards are presented during a luncheon presentation at the conclusion of each XChange Conference.

The 2006 XChange Tech Innovators Xcellence Awards cover 8 key categories including an Overall Best in Show award. “The XChange Xcellence Award winners are selected by top solution providers at each conference and honor the vendors with the most exceptional products, programs and technologies,” said Nancy Hammervik, vice president/managing director, CMP Technology’s XChange Conferences. “Congratulations to all of the winning companies. They have demonstrated that they deliver high quality solutions and have many satisfied business partners.”

“Two awards mean so much to us because they are determined by our partners themselves” said Dan Wensley, VP Partner Development at Level Platforms. “With over 2000 solution provider partners using our platform to deliver managed services to their end customers, this represents a tremendous vote of confidence in our technology and our company. We are all very proud today.”
