Voyence Partners With Philadelphia-Based AlignSync

Richardson, Texas, February 27, 2006 - Voyence™, a pioneer in automated change and configuration management solutions, today announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with AlignSync, LLC, a professional services firm specializing in offering network solutions designed to align IT processes with business needs.

The new partnership underscores the need for businesses to streamline the process of aligning the IT infrastructure with stringent government compliance regulations, while ensuring network availability via viewing and controlling device changes and configurations. This growing need will be addressed by integrating VoyenceControl NG with AlignSync's expertise on compliance management and processes.

"Meeting compliance mandates and addressing network faults caused by misconfigured devices continues to strain limited IT resources," said Mitch Miller, director, Voyence's Worldwide Channels and Alliances. "Our partnership with AlignSync provides a new, value-added service to secure and automate the entire process of network changes, device configurations and SOX compliant checks -- or simply put, lifecycle management."

"Our decision to partner with Voyence is based on the desire to provide best-of-breed solutions to our clients for their network operations and to insure their vision of achieving true Business Service Management (BSM)," said Charla Michalojko, president, AlignSync. "A critical first step on the journey to BSM begins with a strong compliance, change and configuration environment. We believe VoyenceControl NG has the best features to allow us to support the ITIL processes needed for true compliance."

AlignSync delivers services based on a proprietary methodology designed to insure consistency and continuous improvement. The 5 step process begins with a discovery of the client environment (both IT and business), delivery of a customized design, implementation and training, operational management of the environment, then reporting and education on evaluating the reports to insure more effective decision-making for continuous improvement. Through the methodology, clients now have a solution that comprehends and delivers against the business objectives.
