VIP Bringing Human Capital Management Solution to State and Local Government Nationwide

Sacramento, CA (November 28, 2006) - Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP), a local IT company headquartered in Folsom, CA, has launched a campaign to bring its Human Capital Management and e-Learning software, called Meridian, to the state and local marketplace.

The Meridian software product, recently acquired by VIP, is used in over 50% of federal agencies. The product is a powerful Human Capital Management, e-Learning, and Knowledge Management system that blends robust technology, a fully featured competency modeling suite, and a powerful reporting engine to quantify success and measure ROI. The software solution can be deployed as an ASP offering in VIP's secure data center located in Chantilly, Virginia or behind a client firewall.

“We have begun penetrating various state and local organizations around the United States,” said Jonna Ward, CEO of VIP. “The software is elegant and effective,” she continued, “and VIP looks forward to sharing it with other state and local organizations, including those in California.”

This penetration at the state and local level has already started. The Meridian product is being used now in various agencies in several states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia.

“Meridian is really that good,” said Vince Juaristi, Vice President of VIP's National Federal Practice. “The federal government has really gained an effective way to manage knowledge. The same needs exist at state and local levels as well.”
