JAWS SIGNS ALLIANCE WITH WIMSCO, INC. TO PROVIDE INTEGRATED SECURITY SOLUTIONS TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
CALGARY, Alberta, May 13, 1999 - JAWS Technologies Inc. (NASD-OTC BB: "JAWZ"), a provider of the best in information security technologies and practices, announced today the formation of a strategic alliance with Worldwide Information Management Systems Company, Inc. (WIMSCO, Inc.), a leading systems integrator of IT solutions for US Federal Government and HealthCare Agencies.
The objectives of this agreement are to 1) grow both organisations' presence in the Federal Government IT Sector by accessing an estimated $3.9 billion market; 2) to deliver better integrated security solutions to existing Government Thin-Client/Server Customers; 3) to introduce improved policy-based security methodologies to large government agencies and 4) develop a strong VAR channel specializing in the government industry vertical.
"Because of WIMSCO's 10 years of solid government-based systems integration experience in LAN, WAN, Y2K and large-scale IT project management, they are perfectly suited to facilitate our growth into this market segment," states Robert Kubbernus, CEO, JAWS Technologies Inc.. "Their stature as an A+ Authorized Service Center demonstrates their commitment to excellence. These are the qualities we look for in our alliances."
"We work with only the best because our clients demand it. We selected JAWS Technologies to be our security specialist because they have the products and services combined with a rigid determination to address security issues across the board," states Thomas Wims, Founder and President, WIMSCO, Inc.. "This means our joint clients will be getting the best overall protection because security is not about any one product but it is an ongoing effort to find and fix the weakest link in the security processes. WIMSCO is a value-added reseller (VAR) for COMPAQ computers," he adds. "This means that the JAWS/WIMSCO team has access to total computer security solutions; from the encryption software, computer hardware and the systems integration skills."
