AGT & Information Experts Forge Creative Partnership in Video, Distance Learning and Management Communications

Chantilly, VA, July 7, 2004 – Strategic communications firm Information Experts and Applied Global Technologies, a leader in the field of video communications and distance learning, have successfully joined forces to offer broader and enhanced training services to the Federal government and commercial marketplace.

Mike Garvey, Vice President of AGT's Federal Government Division, expressed that this union, his Technology Group working in tandem with the Instructional Design Team at Information Experts, will be a huge benefit for each customer who has come to depend on end-to-end solutions for voice, video and data collaboration networks.

"We are pleased to be working with such a respected company as Information Experts," Garvey said. "Information Experts has been working as a Management Communications and an Instructional Design organization for the past several years with top corporations. Now that the company has emerged in the public sector as well, we can think of no better partner to demonstrate end-to-end solutions within the agencies that have an active need for the solutions we offer."

Marissa Levin, Information Experts' Chief Executive Officer, agrees: "Information Experts understands that public services agencies face a number of key challenges in meeting their operational directives and sustaining their level of commitment to their constituents. It is vital that a strategic communications firm like ours understands the internal process and procedural changes each government agency needs to provide the most value for our government customers."

Information Experts is a woman-owned business, 8(a) certified with MOBIS and STARS 8(a) Government Services Administration Schedules.

"We feel that working with IE's Schedule and Contracts team will make it simpler and quicker for our federal customers, both military and civilian, to place their orders so that they may start obtaining products and services as soon as they are determined to be needed," Garvey explained.
