 center located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, has successfully been

 company has control procedures and that they are adequately
 implemented.


iWeb's review was conducted by Deloitte & Touche LLP and included
 extensive testing performed over a six-month period. The review and
 report notably included a full assessment of:


    --  Infrastructure and physical security measures
    --  Human resources policies and procedures
    --  Insurance coverage



« In obtaining this certification, iWeb had two main objectives,
 confirming the existence of the numerous procedures that were put into
 action over the last couple of years and demonstrating to its actual
 and potential customers the rigor of its operations. These two goals
 were successfully achieved » said Martin Leclair, iWeb's President of
 Products and Technology.


«The review highlighted the measures implemented to control physical
 access to our facilities, with surveillance cameras, access cards and
 biometric checkpoints.  The audit also confirmed the quality of the
 maintenance procedures of our electromechanical and fire control
 equipment.  We were confident that we were doing it right and now it is
 official » declared Cyrille Mertes, iWeb's Chief Technology Officer.


Michel Thivierge, iWeb's Human Resources Director, who also played a
 critical role in obtaining this certification, added: «the SAS70 Type
 II certification confirms to our customers that the policies and
 procedures set forth by iWeb to ensure the competence of its employees
 are effectively implemented, and that our employees will use their
 talents in the interest of customers. We always knew that this was so,
 but it is now confirmed by our auditors and we are really proud of
 it!»
