WingSwept Communications, Inc. Names Software Developer

RALEIGH (July 1, 2005) - WingSwept Communications, Inc., a leading IT consulting company specializing in Web and database development, has named Allison Hoke as a software developer. She will be responsible for working primarily with the firm's government consulting clients.

"We're extremely happy to have Allison on board in a full-time capacity," said WingSwept President Jay Strickland. "We put a lot of emphasis into developing a quality internship program by selecting top-performing students and offering a rigorous training program once they're on board. With Allison, that investment has definitely paid off with her addition as a high-caliber developer."

With a strong belief in grooming future talent, WingSwept has established a rigorous internship program. The company seeks recommendations from N.C. State University computer science faculty members, and only those candidates with strong academic achievements and drive are encouraged to apply. Both candidates and recommending faculty are interviewed to gauge a candidate's fit and performance capacity. Promising candidates who perform beyond expectations are encouraged to stay at WingSwept and continue subsequent internship opportunities until graduation.

Hoke served as an intern with WingSwept for two semesters before earning her bachelor's degree magna cum laude in computer science from North Carolina State University.

The WingSwept companies provide full-service information technology consulting focused on interactive media and e-business systems. Headquartered in Garner, N.C., WingSwept Communications was established in 2000, followed by the incorporation of WingSwept Technologies in 2002 by its president, Jay Strickland, who has been in the Web technology consulting field for over a decade.
