STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH MOBILE TORNADO

Crimson Tide plc is pleased to announce that it has entered a strategic partnership with AIM listed Mobile Tornado plc ("Mobile Tornado", AIM: MBT), a leading provider of instant communication mobile apps for business.  Mobile Tornado's apps offer a new way to communicate over smartphones and pdas and Crimson Tide will initially act as a reseller of its Instant Talk mobile application. The companies anticipate the partnership expanding whereby Mobile Tornado's instant communication applications will be directly incorporated in future releases of Crimson Tide's mpro solutions.

Mobile Tornado's applications will give mpro subscribers the ability to talk directly to head office, co-workers or dispatchers immediately from within their mpro application. The multichannel nature of communications for voice, instant messaging and tracking will allow mpro customers to optimise their field operations, enabling effective and instant communication.

Mobile Tornado's footprint is global and the two companies believe that there may also be opportunities for Mobile Tornado to introduce enhanced workforce apps using the mpro platform, to certain international partners.

Barrie Whipp, Executive Chairman of Crimson Tide, commented:

"The ability to add instant voice, messaging and presence communications to our mpro solutions gives us enhanced revenue possibilities whilst giving our customers the greatest complete solution and flexibility possible for managing their field workforce. Mobile Tornado's solution fits ideally with our own IP based communications and we look forward to a long and successful partnership."

Jeremy Fenn, Chief Executive Officer of Mobile Tornado commented:

 "We are delighted to be working with Crimson Tide, a Company at the forefront of developments in mobile business applications. Their solutions replace the paper based processes that field operatives perform, increasing the effectiveness of remote workforces and delivering significant cost savings. Further savings can be delivered through the adoption of an appropriate communication platform and I am confident that Crimson Tide's customers will generate even greater efficiencies through the introduction of Instant Talk into their businesses."
