Konica Minolta Increases Participation in MarketNet’s Inquiry Management System by Over 350 New Dealers

SPRING LAKE, Mich. — July, 2004 — MarketNet Services, LLC, a marketing technology and services firm, today announced that the company has been selected by Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta) to be the inquiry management partner for all legacy Minolta dealers and branches. In addition, MarketNet will continue to provide its Web-based, customer inquiry management system to legacy Konica dealers and branches, as a result of a relationship that was formed prior to the merger of Konica Business Technologies U.S.A, Inc. and Minolta Corporation’s Business Products Group in October 2003.

“MarketNet offers great flexibility with its ability to customize our existing application to fit the merged Konica Minolta entity,” said William H. Brewster, Jr., vice president, marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. “From including the new product lines and dealer capabilities in the inquiry and lead distribution formula, to the backend integration of the customer data in our legacy contact management solutions, MarketNet was a good choice.”

“Our history with Konica Minolta and the Konica product line enabled us to efficiently tailor the former Konica system to accommodate all the sales and product needs of the newly combined company,” added

J.T. McDonald, president, MarketNet Services, LLC. “We’re looking forward to providing our inquiry collection, scoring, nurturing and distribution services to this new group of constituents.”

The MarketNet customer inquiry management system will quickly scale to accommodate the new users. MarketNet projects that the system will be fully accessible to all Konica Minolta sales resources by August, 2004.
