  --  eLandia, gains entry to fast-growing Brazil market
  --  Amper, through its subsidiary Medidata, gains entry to 13 additional
      countries in Latin America

  --  eLandia and Amper are evaluating the feasibility of expanding the scope

eLandia International, a leading technology enabler in Latin America,
today announced it has formally entered into a strategic alliance with
Madrid based Amper, a leader in the development and integration of
Information and Communications Technology solutions in Spain and
Brazil.

The alliance will allow eLandia to extend its operations into Brazil,
which is experiencing growing demand for Information and Communications
Technology integration. Amper gains a new opportunity, through its
Medidata subsidiary, to extend its presence into the 13 countries where
eLandia currently operates throughout Latin America. The expanded
territory provides the companies the opportunity to offer their
combined portfolio of products, services, technology solutions and
technical resources throughout the region.

eLandia believes that Latin America has exceptional potential for
information and communications technology growth. According to Business
Monitor International (BMI), the total value of spending on Information
and Communications Technology products and services in Latin America is
expected to grow from US$48 billion in 2010 to US$65 billion by 2013,
representing growth in excess of 35%. Brazil represents more than 45%
of the total investments for the sector in the region.

"Latin America continues to be a region of fast growth for technology
investments," said Pete R. Pizarro, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of eLandia. "Governments in Latin America consider information
technology a key element for economic and social development. Many of
our clients operate in multiple countries, and this alliance with Amper
will allow us to expand our business strategy of enabling technology in
emerging markets, and help contribute to the transformation of
communities in the region."

Currently the two companies have no overlap in the region, making the
alliance absolutely complementary. Desca, a wholly owned subsidiary of
eLandia International, is one of Cisco Systems' leading Gold Partners
in the region and has one of Latin America's largest
regionally-integrated services presence. Medidata, a majority owned
Amper business unit, also holds the Cisco Gold Partner designation and
is one of the largest network and systems integration companies in
Brazil.

The alliance also provides entry into the Brazil market for eLandia's
information and communication technologies training and education
services subsidiary, CTT, as well as the ability to exploit the
experience and knowledge of Amper's Homeland Security business unit for
national public safety projects across the region.

"We are very satisfied to have reached an agreement with eLandia that
will allow us to extend our presence in Latin America, a region with
great growth potential for systems integration and networking
activities," said Manuel Marquez, Chief Executive Officer of Amper.
"Thanks to this alliance, we have created a unique platform that meets
the needs of our multinational clients to have partners with a broad
regional presence who can support them throughout Latin America."

Additionally, eLandia and Amper are evaluating the possibility of
expanding the strategic alliance through a possible equity
participation and have begun the process through a mutual due
diligence. Amper has ensured the due diligence will remain exclusive
with an advance payment of $5 million to be applied towards a possible
future transaction. eLandia has provided security for the repayment of
that advance to Amper in the event an agreement is not reached. The
proposed transaction would permit Amper to acquire a majority of
eLandia in exchange for the majority of the Medidata business, without
any additional cash payment other than the $5 million payment made to
secure the exclusivity.
