Companies to Announce Multi-Million Dollar Contract Win

to Implement ElectioNet(TM), Which Help States

Meet the 2002 Help America Vote Act 

WHAT:     At the 2004 National Association of Secretaries of State
          Winter Meeting, government officials, technology executives,
          industry influencers and decision makers will gather to
          discuss the improvement of voter registration processes and
          state systems, e-government services and election reform
          policies at the state and national levels.

WHY:      In 2002, the U.S. government passed the Help America Vote
          Act (HAVA), which required every state to have a new voter
          registration system in place by the beginning of 2004. To
          date, less then a quarter of US States have yet to meet the
          deadline and have requested extensions.

          In order to help states meet the mandate, PCC Technology
          Group, a leading provider of elections management solutions,
          and Covansys Corporation, a global consulting and technology
          services company, teamed up to offer an end-to-end solution
          leveraging PCC's ElectioNet(TM) product. At the conference,
          PCC and Covansys will announce they were awarded a
          multi-million dollar contract to implement ElectioNet(TM).

WHEN:     February 13-16

WHERE:    Hyatt Regency Hotel - Capitol Hill
          Washington, DC
