Message from the President

Jeff Belcher - President

Welcome to Alliant Systems. Please take a few minutes to browse our site and learn more about the Alliant Difference. As the leading provider of information technology solutions for the textile rental industry, we take great pride in continually setting the standards by which other providers are measured.

Incredibly, another year has come and gone. 2007, by any measure, proved to be a rewarding year for Alliant Systems. Marked by new product introductions, continued market growth, and multiple opportunities to interact with our customers and our friends, the year has seemingly passed in an instant. Much has been accomplished and I would like to share some of these milestone events with you:

  • Alliant Route Accounting 2.0 successfully launched in the 2nd quarter of 2007. Developed using Microsoft’s .NET development toolset, this powerful new application is operating at 7 locations as of December 2007, with multiple installations scheduled throughout 2008.
  • Alliant Route Accounting 1.0 featured three feature-rich releases in 2007 with another three releases slated for 2008. Certainly, a growing number of customers will be upgrading to the Alliant Route Accounting 2.0 product as we move forward, but development continues across the entire product line.
  • Mobile computing on the route continues to grow at a rapid rate. Alliant Systems closes 2007 supporting over 55 customers that have deployed Alliant Mobile 2.0 on over 760 routes.
  • As our customers continue to embrace electronic invoicing, the functionality and capabilities of the Alliant Online product continue to expand.
  • Alliant Systems realized a 7% growth in our licensed customer base in 2007. We welcomed a number of new customers and thank them for their confidence in selecting Alliant Systems as a key partner in their IT strategies.

The year provided a number of opportunities for us to interact with our customers and friends.

  • Clean ‘07 in Las Vegas was rewarding. We were fortunate to be able to forge new relationships and it provided an excellent opportunity to visit with a number of our existing customers.
  • Alliant Systems had three representatives enrolled in UTSA’s EMI program in August. The program offers an outstanding curriculum, excellent instructors and an unparalleled networking opportunity within our industry. 2007 marked the 9th consecutive year that Alliant Systems employees have been enrolled in this program.
  • In October, Alliant Systems hosted our largest and most successful Customer Conference to date. Over 80 representatives from 43 companies attended the meetings in Ft. Worth, TX and by all measures the event proved to be an incredible success.

I thank you again for taking the time to browse our site and invite you to contact us with any questions or comments that you might have.

Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2008.

Sincerely,

Jeff Belcher
President
