“Extensis is encouraged by its strong financial performance coming into 2006,” said Kevin Hurst, Vice President of Marketing for Extensis. “We have worked very hard to service the growing needs of creative professionals through the release of Portfolio 8 at the end of last year.  Our continued investment and commitment to this market has brought us profitability, gold-standard products and exceptional customer service for our users.”
