eImagine Technology Group Named a Finalist in the Prestigious
TechPoint Mira Awards Program, Presented by BKD CPAs & Advisors

eImagine selected by a panel of independent judges as one of seven Indiana
information technology (IT) companies to compete for state’s top technology honors

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (April 12, 2010) — eImagine Technology Group (“eImagine”), an Indianapolis-based custom software developer and information technology (“IT”) service provider, today announced that it has been named a finalist in the prestigious 2010 Mira Awards program. The company was one of seven Indiana-based businesses selected to compete for the state’s top honors in the Mira’s Information Technology category. Now in its eleventh year, the TechPoint Mira Awards recognize the achievements of Indiana’s outstanding technology performers and contributors, and focuses attention on the broader issue of the important role technology plays in Indiana’s economy.

“More than 1,500 technology companies operate in the state of Indiana,” said Jim Jay, president and CEO of TechPoint. “Tech companies in the state realize greater overall business value than those located on the coasts because of our superior tech workforce, educational resources and lower infrastructure costs. I think that’s reflected in receiving a record number of nominations for the Mira Awards following the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.”

“We’re extremely honored to be selected as a Mira Awards finalist for the second year running,” said Joel Russell, eImagine’s founder and president. “The IT market sector in Indiana is extremely competitive and there are many great businesses out there, so we count our finalist status as a great accomplishment. We believe that our selection reinforces our philosophy that it’s no longer enough to just offer a great product or service; you have to back it with a true commitment to helping other businesses succeed and to the growth and success of your employees, communities and the state as a whole.“

Mira Awards judges evaluated and scored each submitted nomination, and the scoring determined which nominees became finalists. A total of sixty Indiana businesses, schools and individuals were nominated across fifteen categories. Finalists will deliver presentations and answer questions in person before one of the five independent panels of judges during the next few weeks and the winners will be announced at the Mira Awards Gala on Saturday, May 15, at The Westin Indianapolis.
