VERTEX Solutions to Deliver Apple Products and Services Through OPM TMA Contract

FALLS CHURCH, Va.--(Business Wire)--
VERTEX Solutions, an Adayana company, and Apple, Inc. are pleased
to announce a Teaming Agreement between the two companies that enables
Apple to provide its products and services to Federal clients using
the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) Training and
Management Assistance (TMA) contract vehicle. As a TMA prime
contractor, VERTEX will collaborate with Apple to help TMA clients
integrate their innovative products and services into effective
Blended Learning solutions.

With the coming departure of the "Baby Boomer" generation, the
Federal government recognizes the need to attract and retain new
generations of employees. To meet the needs of tomorrow's workforce,
organizations are providing "blended" training options using a wide
range of delivery platforms and media. Apple products such as the
iPod, iPhone, and Mac have appealed to younger "digital natives" for
many years. In conjunction with VERTEX's e-Learning and instructional
expertise, tomorrow's Federal workers can now use these same Apple
products for secure mobile learning, performance support, and content
development virtually anytime and anywhere.

"We're delighted to have Apple's Government organization as part
of our team," said Jeff Kidwell, President of VERTEX Solutions. "This
agreement is the result of several months of discussion, and I believe
that this partnership will ultimately benefit TMA clients by improving
workforce performance using leading technologies."
