World Trade Press Project Group Gets Project Management System Contract, Believed to Be From Meijer , 09.01.04, 12:33 PM ET
Sep 1, 2004 (financialwire.net via COMTEX) -- (FinancialWire) The Project Group, Inc. (OTCBB: PJTG), a leader in project management solutions with major companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), said that a grocery and general merchandise retailer, with 159 stores, believed to be Meijer, headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, has selected the Company to implement an enterprise project management system, based on Microsoft's Project Server 2003 Software.
"New assignments in the retail segment demonstrate the tremendous value enterprise project management systems offer improving project performance and collaboration'', said Craig Crawford, President and CEO of The Project Group, Inc.
The Project Group is enrolled in Investrend Research's unique and pioneering professional analyst program, which facilitates independent analysts to provide financial coverage for shareholders and investors in companies that otherwise would have little or no analyst following. On May 12, 2004, Investrend analyst Piyali Chakravarty, who stated "The Project Group's status as Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Gold Certified Partner and Microsoft Managed Partner is expected to enhance the company's competitive position in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and consulting industry," rated the company a "Speculative Buy / 4." The rating was reiterated in an update June 14.

The Dow Jones Newswires has stated that independent research has been growing in credibility over the past 18 months, specifically citing Investrend Research, and the New York Times has reported a survey by Charles Schwab & Co. reveals an astonishing 78 percent of active stockholders now "value research from independent firms over analysis by Wall Street firms with financial ties to the companies they are rating." A survey at Investopedia reveals that 74.7% of investors say that "legitimate fee-based research is objective and useful," and 70.9% say that a company that enrolls for "legitimate fee-based research is making a positive statement about its investment potential."
Enrollment fees for Institutional coverage were $28,300, and the fees were paid by the company.

The Project Group, Inc. Signs Master Services Agreement with London Based Multi-National Energy Giant
Thursday September 16, 7:10 AM EDT
HOUSTON, Sep 16, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Project Group, Inc. (PJTG), a leader in project management solutions, announced today that it has signed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with the London based Energy Giant that was announced as a new Client of the Company in a June 24, 2004 press release. The MSA, which focuses on the implementation of a worldwide Enterprise Project Management ("EPM") system, now enables PJTG to work directly with the Client, where previously the work was under a Microsoft contract.
Craig Crawford, President and CEO of PJTG, said, "We expect this to be the first step in a long term, high value contract that will have very positive impacts on our client's ability to manage their systems, and is a potentially huge revenue win for us, with future revenue from this project estimated to be in excess of $2 million."
Microsoft EPM Specialist, Jeffery Spencer, stated, "Microsoft is very pleased to continue to win Enterprise Project Management and Collaboration competitions in the Oil and Gas Industry, and The Project Group is a key partner for us in winning this work. Without their deep industry experience, excellent team and knowledge of the process we would not be expanding the worldwide presence of Microsoft's Project, and Sharepoint Portal Services as successfully and rapidly as we are."
