SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Consonus Inc., a premier provider of mission-critical business data center services, Internet application development, and managed-hosting services, today announced the appointment of Steven C. Eror as president and CEO. Eror was promoted from the position of vice president and CFO in the company, where he made a significant contribution to the combination of strategic businesses that became Consonus in June of this year and where he is a key architect of the company's financial and business strategy.

"We believe that this appointment will quicken the pace of Consonus' development into a unique e-infrastructure service business that meets the rigorous demands of companies that require top-quality, highly reliable Internet presence," said Don Cash, chairman of Consonus.

"Consonus is responding to the rapidly growing demand for high quality, disaster and fault tolerant networking and e-business solutions."

Questar Corp. (NYSE:STR), a Salt Lake City-based diversified energy company, formed Consonus from a core of growing and profitable networking, application and data center-related businesses. This core provided a foundation of network engineering, network operations and secure data-center facilities as well as established customer relationships.

Consonus currently provides medium and large companies with end-to-end services and solutions for building and operating Web e-business systems 24 hours a day in Class A, ultra-secure IT facilities. It has extensive experience in the Application Service Provider (ASP) market in developing and then applying high-quality systems to industries significantly affected by the explosive growth of Internet commerce, including high technology, health care, consumer retail, media, and financial services.

In naming Eror to the CEO post, Cash said, "The board is confident that Steve can accelerate the growth of this business. He has a solid track record in attracting capital to the businesses in which he has been involved, and his leadership is an important benefit in bringing together these endeavors and in finding and exploiting synergies in a high-growth environment."

Eror has held management positions with Ford Motor Co., Air Products and Chemicals Inc. and Guardian Industries Inc., where he was instrumental in developing, organizing and financing successful joint ventures in Venezuela, Thailand, Hungary, Spain, India, Luxembourg and China. He has more than 20 years of business-management experience in strategic planning, raising capital, and merger and acquisitions transactions. Most recently, he held the position of vice president and CFO of Pharmadigm, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of therapeutics for the management of acute inflammation. Prior to that, he served as executive vice president and CFO for Paperwise, Inc., a document imaging software development company, and as a vice president and CFO of Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp., a leading high-technology company involved in high-performance 3D visual simulation.

He is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Utah with a bachelor's degree in economics and a master's in business administration.
