DALLAS, TEXAS - 8/27/02 - Federal Liaison Services, Inc. (FLS), a leading provider of employer compliance software and services, announced today a new partnership agreement with Midrange Software Inc., a leading provider of enterprise software solutions for mid-sized businesses. Midrange Software becomes the newest member of the FLS CHAMPS™ (Channel and Marketing Partners) alliance program of leading technology vendors.

As a result of the new partnership, Midrange Software's customer base, which currently includes more than 500 mid- to large-sized companies, will have direct access to payroll tax compliance services and software from FLS. Midrange Software will develop and support an integrated software interface, and will promote the service to their customers.

"By focusing their efforts only on large companies, many enterprise software vendors have ignored a huge segment of the market," said Fran Bartlett, President and CEO of FLS. "According to the Internal Revenue Service, there are more than 300,000 mid-sized businesses in the U.S. Thanks to our new alliance with Midrange Software, these employers now have access to a best-of-breed, end-to-end solution for payroll and tax compliance."

"We investigated other potential partners, but our research made it clear that FLS' solutions are far and away superior in the industry," said Jacques Ohana, President and Founder of Midrange Software.
