MANCHESTER, N.H., April 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- QED Connect, Inc. (OTC: QEDN), a New York corporation ("QED Connect"), today announced that it has signed a Stock Purchase and Consulting Agreement with Sonasoft Corporation ("Sonasoft"), a San Jose, California based company.

Under the terms of the agreement, QED has the right to provide up to $500,000 in financing in exchange for shares of Sonasoft.  Additionally QED will receive royalties on sales of Sonasoft products and services for the US market.  QED will hold a seat on the Sonasoft Board of Directors and will act as an advisor for marketing, business development and financial matters including funding and corporate structure.

Andy Khanna, President and CEO of Sonasoft said, "We have been positioning ourselves for the last nine years finalizing the development and marketing of our products.  We are now prepared to take the next steps to expand our business and look forward to working with QED to assist us in achieving those goals."

Mr. Khanna added, "In particular, our email archiving product, SonaVault, has been well proven across a wide range of SMB installations. These satisfied customers tell us that Sonasoft has provided software with exceptional features they had previously found only in more expensive and difficult to implement products."  

Tom Makmann, CEO of QED Connect stated, "We are excited to be working with Sonasoft and believe we can help them achieve their business plan. The Software as a Service (SaaS) market continues to be one of the fastest growing sectors as companies move away from in-house support to Managed Services Providers (MSP). QED expects to realize revenue from the royalties during this quarter."

Mr. Makmann, added, "Previously on February 24, 2010, QED Connect announced that  it had executed a Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of StockProfile.com that was expected to finalize a definitive agreement by April 4, 2011.  Due to the conflicting schedule of counsel involved in the transaction, the parties have mutual agreed to extend the date to finalize a definitive agreement to on or before May 20, 2011.
