Canvas Becomes Blackberry Alliance Member

Canvas joins BlackBerry® Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Alliance Program to further support the global deployment of Canvas.

Herndon, VA – August 14, 2009 – Canvas announced today it has joined the BlackBerry® Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Alliance Program and as such would be listed in the Blackberry Solutions Catalog. Canvas joins a growing number of software developers building applications for the full range of BlackBerry® smartphones from Research In Motion (RIM)(NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM). As a member of the ISV Alliance Program, Canvas can better leverage the business and marketing resources RIM offers to introduce Canvas to a global market.

“We are very excited to become part of the Blackberry partner ecosystem,” said James Quigley, Canvas’s CEO and Co-founder. “Supporting BlackBerry smartphones is absolutely essential to our strategy of delivering our next generation experience to our customers engaged in replacing costly paper based forms and surveys using their Blackberries.”

The introduction of Canvas represents a significant change from the expensive and time consuming software development process that is typically required to create business applications for mobile devices. Canvas eliminates the need for specialized software developers, lengthy projects, and expensive information technology budgets. Using only a web browser, business professionals can publish electronic versions of their forms or surveys as applications on their Smartphones.

“As a member of the BlackBerry ISV Alliance Program, our software team gains access to valuable technical and support resources needed to assist us in designing and delivering the Canvas application for BlackBerry smartphones,” said Matt Warner, Canvas’s Vice President of Mobility and Co-Founder. “Through our partnership, we can increase our understanding and use of core technologies in the BlackBerry platform to help facilitate a robust, easy to use experience for our clients.”
