Press Release Summary: Tasica Forms Director decreases amount of paper in daily
office operations allowing companies to save on cost and promote a greener business.


Press Release Body: Huntington Beach, CA – Sept 15, 2008 – Alphalogix™, IBM Business
Partner and awarding winning provider of portal and workflow solutions, is
announcing their Tasica line of software products as an environmentally sound
solution to enable any size business to begin reducing the amount of paper used in
daily operations and ultimately reducing corporate carbon foot print.

According to the Worldwatch Institute in Washington, D.C., the average office worker
creates 12,000 sheets of paper a year and 40 percent of all municipal waste consists
of paper. A recent Gartner study found that one piece of paper costs between
$30-$165 to use, process and enter. Although there are no signs of these rates
slowing down, more and more businesses and organizations are starting green
initiatives, becoming aware of their practices and how they affect the earth. One of
the elements of these initiatives is reducing the amount of paper, either by using
recycled paper or electronic forms.

Electronic forms authoring tools such as IBM Lotus Forms provides business the
opportunity to graphically create pixel perfect electronic forms that have the same
look and feel as paper forms. Tasica Forms Director, a human-centric business
process automation solution, routes data from electronic forms designed in IBM Lotus
Forms through business logic based decisions. Together the integrated business
process automation solution has the ability to reduce the amount and costs of
pre-printed and multipart forms, and issues such as human data entry error, form
filing and duplicate form and task entries.

Forms Director can be set in a web based interface, however the solution also
integrates with enterprise class portal environments including IBM WebSphere Portal.
With this extended integration, employees are able to perform business processes
along side their other personalized corporate applications, offering another way for
businesses to reduce the amount of ever day paper materials being printed,
distributed, and copied.

According to Bob McCandless, CEO of Alphalogix, “While it is unrealistic to
eliminate every single piece of paper a company uses, business process automation
solutions such as the powerful combination of Tasica and IBM Lotus Forms and
WebSphere Portal helps business move toward a more cost efficient and eco friendly
operation. By automating one form and its corresponding workflow, businesses can
save an astonishingly large amount of global resources including trees, landfill
space, water, oil and air pollutants. ”

In May of this year, IBM announced its "Software for a Greener World" as an
expansion of Project Big Green, an effort to deliver technologies that help
customers increase the level of energy efficiency in their data centers. "Software
for a Greener World" includes new and existing offerings that help organizations
optimize their infrastructure, workloads and people for energy efficiency.

“We are very proud to have a solid relationship with our partners including IBM who
are actively pursuing a solution to the global problems we are facing today,” said
McCandless.
