Mitratech Selects Terremark to Deliver Managed Hosting Environment for TeamConnect Legal

(Aprl 17,2008)-- Mitratech, provider of software solutions for organizations to manage legal, compliance, and risks, announced the availability of TeamConnect Legal with managed hosting. Mitratech's innovative offering will leverage Terremark Worldwide, Inc.'s  Infinistructure utility-computing platform, its managed hosting services and world-class infrastructure to deliver high-quality service.

This service model highlights Mitratech's commitment to providing customers maximum assurances with regard to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) legislation by enabling greater controls of business processes and related data.
