Portland, OR - March 18, 2005 - Smarsh Inc., a privately held global provider of technology solutions for the financial services industry, announced this week the signing of their 100th Broker/Dealer client for managed email archiving and regulatory compliance.

This milestone follows the recent launch of Archive InSite for Hedge Funds and updated versions of several other messaging compliance products.
