October 18, 2005

Boulder, CO, October 18, 2005 – Incentra Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: ICNS) announced today that it has named veteran technology executive Shawn O’Grady to the newly created position of President and Chief Operating Officer.  O’Grady brings over 20 years of operations and sales executive management experience to the job, and was most recently at Siemens Business Services.  As President and Chief Operating Officer, O’Grady will report to Chairman and CEO Thomas P. Sweeney and will initially be principally responsible for the sales and operations of the global enterprise solutions division.

“After a thorough search, we are thrilled to bring Shawn on board to run our day-to-day operations for the enterprise solutions division,” commented Sweeney.  “The enterprise group represents almost 80 percent of the Company’s revenues and has been growing at more than 20 percent.  In order to manage that growth and continue the expansion nationally, we needed an experienced executive to take the Company to the next level.  Shawn has a strong track record of growing successful solutions teams selling both products and services to the enterprise markets and understands the complete solutions approach.  Shawn has successfully defined and implemented professional and managed services portfolios and has also successfully integrated operations.  We are looking forward to Shawn’s focus and positive contribution to the Company and our enterprise sales and operations teams.”
 
O’Grady, 42, has been a senior vice president for Siemens Business Services, the $5 billion IT Services Division within Siemens AG, for the last eight years.  He has served a variety of functions within that timeframe, most recently as head of the Consulting and Integration business unit for North America.  Previously, he served as head of Business Development, and has also served in a variety of regional general management functions.  He has a track record of success in strategy, portfolio, sales and service delivery as well as in organizational and process improvement.  O’Grady came to Siemens through its acquisition of Entex Information Services where he had been a senior executive since its founding in 1993.  Prior to Siemens, O’Grady held executive positions with Intelogic Trace, Inc. and NBI, Inc.  
 
“Incentra’s complete solutions approach is what the market is demanding; customers need more than just products,” stated O’Grady.  “The challenges of designing and operating large storage systems has never been greater, and Incentra’s proven experience in operating complex, heterogeneous environments is what separates it from the competition.  Incentra’s unique ability to improve a company’s IT operations, reduce monthly operating expense and reduce capital expenditures positions it for significant growth.  Incentra has a strong team and I look forward to participating in the Company’s growth.”
 
O’Grady holds a degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, Irvine.

The executive search was conducted by New York City-based Christian & Timbers, a premier-quality executive search firm.
