(OTCBB:VCSY) (www.vcsy.com) announced today that it is has acquired exclusive rights to market StatePointPlus to government and healthcare users in the United States and Canada, as well as for all users in Brazil. VCSY had already acquired the same partial exclusivity rights from CW International, LLC (CWI) with regard to IA (formerly ImmuneApp).
IA and StatePointPlus are part of VCSY's security suite of products. In keeping with the movement in the software industry toward the software as a service model (SaaS), the security suite is named the Baseline Management Solution and is offered on a managed service basis.
VCSY has aggressively been making sales presentations of its Baseline Management Solution throughout the United States and Canada to various entities, including cities and other government agencies, as well as public companies subject to Sarbanes-Oxley reporting. NOW Solutions, Inc. (NOW Solutions), a wholly-owned subsidiary of VCSY, is also making presentations of the Baseline Management Solution to its customer base.
"In an era where security of a network has become a paramount concern, VCSY believes we have a very compelling service with our Baseline Management Solution," said Richard Wade, President and CEO of Vertical Computer Systems, Inc. "By securing these exclusivity rights to StatePointPlus, VCSY becomes the only company in the United States and Canada that can offer IA and StatePointPlus as part of its Baseline Management Solution for the government and healthcare sectors."
"With the combination of IA and StatePointPlus, not only will Vertical be able to provide the most secure environment available but the most efficiently managed," commented Sean Chumura of CW International. "The Baseline Management Solution takes the gray areas of computer security and network management out of the daily routines and lets administrators focus on their core abilities to help the companies they work for, expand and grow without losing control of their networks."
IA and StatePointPlus comprise the Baseline Management Solution, a complete security suite of software programs. IA is a client application that resides with the Microsoft operating system and shields computers within a protected network. StatePointPlus is a client application that allows mirroring of a system, keeping server data synchronized at any distance (local or remote), in real time. StatePointPlus enables a company to remotely monitor and repair the state of any computer system across the enterprise relative to its desired baseline from a central location. In addition, StatePointPlus can baseline regulatory compliance and IT best practice initiatives and automate the assurance of staying compliant with the areas being monitored.
