I want to welcome you to Technology Alignment and the open-source plus commercial world of Linux and Linux solutions. Each of you is critical in the success of Technology Alignment's future and growth in this industry. As we continue to grow and develop new products and technologies, you're what makes the company. If you're a new employee, I want to personally congratulate you on choosing Technology Alignment for your career path and growth. One thing to remember, I find each of you, regardless of position at Technology Alignment, a critical factor in our success from the person who packages and ships products, the developers who create the products, right to the sales team. Depending on experience, your training will be remote or onsite at one of our locations or via Webinars.

Understanding your position and how you fit in the company is a great way to start. We've actually created a funnel/pipeline chart that allows you to understand not only why you are critical in the success of the company, but why you're the one of a team who makes the company work.

Technology Alignment started in my basement in March of 2001 while I was working on the development of HIATLANTIS in Southern Jersey across the bridge from Philadelphia, our CRM/Supply Chain Management tool. The company was incorporated in March of 2002 when we released our first product. We initially released HIATLANTIS with Windows™ servers and workstations. It soon became apparent that most of our support was going to supporting Microsoft™ products and not HIATLANTIS once the installation was completed. We searched for an alternative with Linux Servers and found the exciting world of Linux. Of course my son Preston was also instrumental in choosing Linux as our choice operating system. We were working with other Linux operating systems companies for our initial 4 years of business until we decided our needs, and those of our customers were not being met properly. This is when Pioneer was born in November of 2006. We moved from the basement to an official office in 2003.

In 2005 we decided we needed to grow the company and start hiring many more people to work in the company for an expansion and moved West. Although Laramie, WY was a great place for Technology Alignment, we found the need to expand our operations quickly and the resources were not readily available to reach our numbers. Our new locations in Norwalk, CT and Nampa, ID. If you're at one of our regional office locations, you'll have the same opportunities as at any site. I want to welcome all new employees to Technology Alignment from either location and wish you success in building your career. If you're thinking about joining us, I look forward to meeting each of you personnally as we expand operations into multiple areas.

In our 6-year history we've been building an excellent ISV partner and reseller partner base and the ability to grow our company has come from you, our employees. We are now heading into new directions including embedded Linux devices, PBX phone systems, Linux Accounting, SIP trunking for consumer and business, CRM applications and of course our business routers. Our ISV partners bring us new and exciting technologies for our end-users and reseller partners, allowing us to provide not only an operating system, but a method of delivering a total solution. I know that each of you is what makes our company, and we've provided 10% of Technology Alignment stock that is employee owned. Since I believe each of you makes us what we are, we divide the dividends on our net profitability equally between each of you regardless of position. The VP, CEO (myself), manufacturing, our janitor, and anyone else is provided dividends equally.

I just want to personally thank each of you for coming to Technology Alignment to expand your careers and assist us in our growth. Without each and everyone of you we would not be expanding or developing new products.

Remember also, my door is always open to anyone at Technology Alignment if there are questions or concerns regarding anything you feel is important.

Sincerely,

Dianne E. Ursini
CEO
Technology Alignment, Inc.
