Funding from Advantage Capital and Commerce Bank to support Long Island Company's growth

COMMACK, N.Y., January 31, 2006 -- Invision.com, Inc., a Managed Service Provider (MSP) in the New York metro area, has received $5 Million in financing.

The company received a $2.5 million investment from Advantage Capital and an additional $2.5 million in financing from Commerce Bank. The funds will be used to expand Invision's sales force, enabling the company to increase its presence in the regional marketplace and grow geographically. The funds will also be used for acquisitions and working capital.

"With more and more companies recognizing the value of pro-active managed IT services, the demand for these services is creating significant growth opportunities," said Tyler Roye, Invision's CEO. "This funding will enable us to capitalize on these growth opportunities and extend our market reach to new customers and geographies, building on our traditional market strength in the Long Island area."

The company has been aggressively looking for a few acquisition targets.

"The additional funding will enable us to kick our acquisition efforts into high gear to accelerate our growth," added Roye.

"Invision's team has a proven track record of managing and profitably growing a managed services business," said Scott Murphy, principal of Advantage Capital Partners in New York. "Advantage is pleased to be a part of Invision's commitment to providing a wide range of businesses with practical IT solutions."

"As Commerce expands its Long Island presence, we are pleased to be assisting one of Long Island's emerging companies," said Christopher Giamo, Senior Vice President

Advantage's investment of private capital was made in connection with New York's Certified Capital Company (CAPCO) program, which encourages the flow of investment capital to promising companies located in the state.
