DETAILS: Each quarter, companies turn to NelsonHall as the trusted
         reference for developments in the business process outsourcing
         industry with the release of its BPO Index Webcasts. NelsonHall
         is expanding on these events with the new "ITO Index," the first
         in a series of quarterly Webcasts analyzing IT outsourcing
         contract activity and covering in detail IT infrastructure
         management and application management.

         NelsonHall IT Outsourcing research manager Dominique Raviart
         will review and analyze recent ITO contract activity and present
         a year-on-year comparison of levels and type of ITO activity. He
         will examine major contract trends by service type, vendor,
         industry and geography, look at the likely contract trends in
         2009 and provide an assessment of the impact of the current
         economic recession.

         This first "ITO Index" will verify trends recently predicted by
         NelsonHall, which include an increased adoption of application
         management as a standalone contract form; a decline of full ITO
         contracts among large enterprise clients; a renewed interest in
         full outsourcing contracts from mid-market clients; and the rise
         of activity levels in outsourcing overall, triggered by the
         economic environment.
