NOVEMBER 6, 2006 -- San Diego, CA -- Ascendi Solutions, a leading software consulting and staffing firm, today announced that it has completed the spin-off of its video game and film segment of operations into a new company. The spin-off company, named Ascendi Entertainment, will focus on technical resource staffing specifically for the growing video game and film industries. The spin-off will allow for each company to focus on their strengths, while improving quality of service and efficiency.

Ascendi Solutions was established in 2001, and its Interactive Entertainment segment has grown significantly. "The spin-off was a natural evolution for the business allowing Ascendi Entertainment to focus specifically on this exciting and growing industry" says Bijan Amirzada newly appointed President of Ascendi Entertainment, and former Vice President at Ascendi Solutions.

Ascendi Entertainment will be providing services which include fulltime employee staffing, contingent workforce staffing and management, pay-rolling, and on-site staffing management solutions that are specific to these industries. "We have a complete solution for every type of film and game company", says Amirzada. "Our services range from fulltime employee staffing to full blown on-site resource management solutions."

"What sets us apart from other companies in this space is that we are a true technology company", says Amirzada. "Our parent company, Ascendi Solutions, develops high-end software for some of the top Fortune 100 companies in the world. Therefore, we are able to leverage those resources internally and also will be moving them laterally into Ascendi Entertainment. We understand the technology that drives this industry. Basically, we can talk the talk, unlike almost every other firm in our space. That is a fact."

Ascendi Entertainment cultivates a highly qualified candidate pool through an in-depth technical interviewing/screening process. Included are detailed technical interviews with our in-house developers who understand the technology at a detailed level. This ensures fully qualified candidates for our clients. We work with the client to ensure our technical interviews are in-line and relevant to the specific job. This approach is used for both the fulltime and contingent workers.

Regarding the staffing of contingent workforces, Mr. Amirzada stated that - "The gaming and film industries are very project centric, and it is extremely difficult if not impossible for these companies to maintain a constant workforce. That's where we come in. We can provide the high-end supplemental contingent staff that these companies need on a project basis. We are always looking for and hiring the top talent in the industry."

Headquartered in San Diego, CA, and offices in San Jose, CA Ascendi Entertainment has representatives covering San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco, and surrounding areas.
