Technology
Alignment, Inc. releases Made in Idaho

Community service to Idaho companies and residents

Nampa,
ID; July 28, 2009: Technology Alignment, Inc., a global provider
of world class solutions, announced the Made In Idaho website
and search engine. The new website allows visitors to search for
products actually manufactured in Idaho and also companies that
resell products made in the State. Technology Alignment provides
open source software freely such as Pioneer Linux and it's HIATLANTIS
open source version of the Contract Relationship Management software
or CRM. The company not only believes in the open source model
and community service, but also in putting the concept to the
task in areas other than software.
"Technology
Alignment develops both closed and open source software while
Made In Idaho is based on the open source concept." stated
Dianne E. Ursini, Technology Alignment, Inc. CEO. "The concept
of Made In Idaho allows us to provide services freely based on
the open source model allowing companies to share information
freely and consumers to find products and companies quickly."
In
looking for a sticker for it's PBX systems that are manufactured
in Idaho, the company found that there were no organizations currently
promoting products actually manufactured in the state. Wanting
to promote the fact that the product is literally manufactured
in Idaho along with other products developed such as Pioneer Linux,
the company decided it needed to start the Made In Idaho project.
Made In Idaho will be an extension of The Main Street Project
scheduled to be released later this year. The Main Street Project
will be similar to Made In Idaho, but will be nationwide and also
based on the open source concept.
There
are no annual memberships and the company hosts the website along
with maintaining the search engine. As other promotional tools
charge annual membership fees and costs for promotion, the new
website is totally free and accepts no donations. The same will
be true of The Main Street Project.
Kade
Price, VP of Development stated, "... the next step was to
create a website and search engine for people who wanted to support
companies that manufacture in the great State of Idaho while making
it entirely free and staffed with volunteers". Price also
added, "With the state unemployment rate also raising it
allows companies within the state to promote each other and in
turn provide growth and more jobs".
Kade
is a native of Idaho and was born in Malad while Dianne was born
in Connecticut and continued to migrate West and landing in Idaho
from Wyoming. Dianne believes she found a home not only for her
business but also for herself. Kade hopes to move back to Malad
one day and open an expansion office for Technology Alignment.
The
new website is live and ready to accept additional entries. If
you are interested in participating in Made In Idaho or The Main
Street Project, it is recommended that you visit http://www.madeinidaho.org
