LMS Software Helps Meridian Make List of Top Training & Simulation Companies

CHANTILLY, Va.--(Business Wire)--
KMI Media Group and Military Training Technology magazine have for the second
consecutive year named Meridian Knowledge Solutions, LLC a "Top Training and
Simulation Company" because of the software firm`s impact on military training
during 2009. Meridian`s learning management system (LMS) - which analyzes and
delivers training via the internet - has underpinned its contributions to the
military.

The Meridian LMS is used for knowledge-exchange and learning across all branches
of the U.S. military, Department of Defense and several state National Guard
units. Since the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) began using
Meridian`s software, the number of users of the AETC LMS has grown from a
handful to more than 900,000 civilian and military personnel.

Meridian`s flagship software product, the Meridian Global LMS, combines learning
and knowledge management with Web 2.0 functions - such as online collaboration
spaces - to enable cooperation between warfighters billeted acround the world.

In reviewing Meridian for this year`s list of Top Training and Simulation
Companies, KMI Media Group and Military Training Technology magazine considered
the Chantilly, Va.-based firm`s contracts with the Air Force News Agency, U.S.
Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command; U.S. Marine Corps,
including Marine Corps Aviation; U.S. Special Operations Command; and, Joint
Special Operations Command.

"One of the advantages of Meridian`s LMS is that it provides the flexibility to
create a central repository for training data and deploy customized systems at
an unlimited number of bases around the world," said Roy Haythorn, vice
president of operations for Meridian. "Our Department of Defense business has
grown substantially in recent years for two reasons. First, our system has
consistently delivered for partners such as L-3 Communications as well as other
DoD contractors, and, second, our services and commitment have, in many cases,
exceeded the expectations of uniformed and civilian DoD employees."

A panel of judges selected this year`s Top Training and Simulation Companies
based on criteria such as total military sales, product innovations and the
success of each nominee`s training programs. Along with Meridian, the 2009 list
features more than 80 companies including CACI International Inc., Northrop
Grumman Technical Services, Raytheon and Rockwell Collins.
