Tuesday April 9, 8:30 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: Intacta Technologies Inc. Zebec Data Systems, Intelleca Healthcare and Intacta Technologies Create Alliance to Improve Healthcare Claims Processing Trading Symbol: ITAC: OTCBB HOUSTON, TX, ATLANTA, GA and JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, April 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Zebec Data Systems, Inc., Intacta Technologies, Inc. and Intelleca  Healthcare, (Pty) Ltd. today announced they have formed an alliance to  improve the efficiency of health claims processing while enhancing the  security and privacy of patient information. Intacta brings to the alliance a patented solution for fax and email workflow  in the healthcare industry. Through compression, encryption, error correction and encoding engines, patient and other related information can be transferred  and integrated more efficiently among healthcare organizations - such as from  doctor to benefits administrator. This solution, hosted by Zebec's data center  and telecommunications network, will help streamline claims processing while  providing a HIPAA-ready alternative to safeguarding patient information. ``Healthcare institutions are increasingly burdened with the rising costs and  complexity of claims administration,'' said John Feltham, president of Zebec. ``This alliance will allow us to develop solutions that reduce claims processing  costs, and help our clients meet the confidentiality and privacy requirements of HIPAA regulations.'' Zebec and Intelleca will develop new applications with Intacta's INTACTA.CODE  and integrate the system into current applications used by their existing  healthcare clients to proactively establish or complement the organization's  HIPAA compliance programs. ``Zebec's and Intelleca's knowledge and experience in the healthcare industry  provides a unique opportunity for all three companies,'' said Noel Bambrough, president of Intacta. ``The combination of knowledge, experience and technology among our companies, related to the healthcare industry, provides a unique,  reliable and economically attractive solution for our existing and potential  clients.'' The parties intend to launch the joint services and applications in April  2002. The alliance also involves the development and marketing of the  applications in various countries including the United States, Canada, South Africa and Australia. ``Intelleca brings substantial international experience to the alliance, allowing the parties to satisfy similar requirements in countries outside of  North America,'' observed Mr. Clive Berman, CEO of Intelleca. ``There is a substantial opportunity within the international market and Intelleca will  participate fully in the development and marketing of the solutions and applications.''
