Montreal, June 23, 2010: SAND Technology Inc. (OTCBB:SNDTF), an international provider of column-based database software, today reported a net loss for the three-month period ended April 30, 2010.

– Europe revenue of $583,485 in Q3-10 vs. Europe revenue of $1,749,343 in Q3-09

Tom O’Donnell, President and CEO of SAND Technology stated, “The current quarterly results were obviously unsatisfactory. In the last quarter, we have begun significant restructuring of the sales and marketing function. All North American and UK sales and marketing personnel have been replaced. The problem at SAND is sales and marketing which can and will be fixed. The technology is sound and in many aspects cutting edge. We continue to have access to funding SAND through private placements if the need should arise but are focusing on funding the company through internal cash generation.”

Mr. Pilcher is the author of “Prosultative Selling” and a blogger specializing in the use of social media in sales and marketing.

– In June 2010, SAND announced that Brian Schwartz would be its new Vice-President of Sales. Brian Schwartz comes to SAND with more than 15 years of experience in the software industry focusing on business intelligence, analytics, CRM, and HR solutions.
