to conduct "IT Landscape & Challenges" Survey

Press Release Body = Raleigh, NC - October 30, 2006 - The North Carolina Technology
Association (NCTA) and TotalCare IT Solutions by Alphanumeric are joining forces to
conduct a survey of NC-based organizations, in an effort to better understand what
IT choices area companies are making to accomplish strategic business goals.

Beginning this week, NCTA members and other North Carolina-based businesses will be
invited to respond to an online questionnaire asking them to reflect on the biggest
IT concerns for their organization, decisions on outsourcing IT elements and
projected spending levels on IT in 2007.

"There is a great deal of national data accumulated by major research organizations
and analysts, but until now there has never been an attempt to collect data on IT
issues and outsourcing on a local level," says Tim Finnegan, TotalCare Program
Director. "This survey will allow participants for the first time to see how they
stack up against other local, like-minded companies in terms of the decisions they
are making on IT."

Organizations participating in the survey must be headquartered in North Carolina.
All survey participants will receive the survey results. To participate, click
