energy and healthcare," said Tony Perkins, founder and CEO of AlwaysOn.  "We
congratulate the OnDC 100 for their success in introducing new tools, services
and systems to address the nation's top priorities."

The OnDC 100 winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology
companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists and industry insiders. 
The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process
to finalize the 2009 list.

"To be recognized for the positive impact that your company is providing to
one of your targeted marketplaces, like the public sector, is especially
gratifying and one that is not taken lightly," said Scott Ryan, President and
CEO of Asankya.  "Being included among the OnDC Top 100 is a validation for
the hard work and commitment Asankya has made in enabling the secure delivery
of mission-critical applications to and from the cloud for enterprises, SaaS

adoption of Internet-delivered applications."
