AlarmPointPressRelease

PLEASANTON, CA - AUGUST 16, 2006 - AlarmPoint Systems announced today that AlignSync LLC has joined its Connect
partner program to represent AlarmPoint products for use in IT systems management, business continuity planning and crisis
communications to organizations in the Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. areas..

"AlignSync first consulted AlarmPoint Systems to find an automated solution that addressed the reactive problems faced by
its IT clients – the rising stream of critical events was time-intensive while accountability for assignment and restoration was a
real problem," noted Troy McAlpin, CEO of AlarmPoint Systems. "AlignSync discovered that AlarmPoint could solve the
event notification and resolution needs of its manufacturing, banking and government customers -- although critical events are
not limited to the data center – they can be technology incidents, disasters or other crises."

Because AlignSync currently focuses on improving IT performance delivery, the connection to automated event notification
and resolution on the AlarmPoint platform is a natural extension of working with customers to eliminate human errors,
inadequate alerting and data inaccuracies in slow, manual resolution efforts. Containing the cost of an IT infrastructure outage
requires finding more efficient ways to speed the resolution process, and as IT staff increasingly adopts more mobile
communications, AlignSync will offer its customers the ability to manage the complexity of contact and device details related
to critical event management.

"AlarmPoint strengthens AlignSync’s ability to improve business service and decrease costs to our clients. Automating event
resolution through a centralized notification system is a key offering to our IT clients that operate with multiple, disparate
systems where alerts overload and annoy people but don’t solve much", noted Charla Michalojko, President and CEO of
AlignSync, LLC. "Our clients will certainly benefit from AlarmPoint’s ability to focus on the people associated with curing
critical incidents, to eliminate the error-prone job of manual dispatch, and to ultimately simplify and speed resolution."
