BySynergy, the Total Capital Process (TCP) Group, announced today that it has purchased PartnerAxis, the company that delivers the Linux channel. PartnerAxis will begin operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of BySynergy. Terms of the transaction included a cash payment and a transfer of assets and obligations to BySynergy from EBIZ Enterprises.”PartnerAxis is a phenomenal investment opportunity for BySynergy,”
said Michael A. Zito, founder, president and CEO of BySynergy. “The Linux
community is growing quickly and the channel-focused services offered
by PartnerAxis are in great demand. PartnerAxis is poised to be a major
force in shaping the way products and services are delivered to the Linux
channel.”

PartnerAxis will continue development of an e-marketplace for Linux
solutions and information (launching this summer), uniting Linux
manufacturers, resellers and end-users. “We have a vision. We will
deliver the Linux channel by serving as a neutral facilitator for all channel
players and providers and seekers of Linux products and solutions,”
said Dean Taylor, president and CEO of PartnerAxis.

An initial cash infusion from BySynergy will be used to complete the
PartnerAxis e-marketplace, and for the development of programs to facilitate
partner adoption of the PartnerAxis system. Expansion of the PartnerAxis
management team and internal staff are currently in progress.

Karen Smith, senior analyst, Aberdeen Group said, “Creating an
effective channel is a critical necessity for Linux manufacturers and resellers
whose customers are increasingly demanding Linux solutions. PartnerAxis
leverages its experience in Linux and the Channel to help companies develop more
successful, cost-effective channel programs.”
