CINCINNATI, Jan 30, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- MYCOM Group, Inc. (OTCBB:MYCO) today announced a strategic alliance with Baltimore-based Early Morning Software, Inc. (EMS) to jointly develop and deliver a wide range of technology solutions for major commercial and government clients in the Mid-Atlantic region.
EMS is one of the Mid-Atlantic region's leading software and systems engineering firms. MYCOM Group is a top Midwest e-business provider, providing Fortune 100 clients with advanced technology and enterprise learning services.
The alliance was established as a result of discussions between MYCOM Group CEO George Young and Sharon R. Pinder, formerly Senior Vice President of MYCOM and now president of EMS. Pinder was responsible for successfully launching MYCOM's Mid-Atlantic operations and for the company's e-business vertical market strategy. Young and Pinder will work closely to develop targeted strategies for leveraging the combined strengths of EMS and MYCOM Group.
Young called the alliance a "win-win" for both organizations. "Our relationship with EMS further strengthens MYCOM's presence in the growing East Coast market, and will enable us to benefit from their significant market presence," he said. "At the same time, we can help EMS by providing technology resources and augmenting its products and services, especially in e-learning, e-commerce, and technology communications."
Young said MYCOM Group would pursue establishing a joint venture company with EMS if the alliance yields significant joint e-business projects that require the capabilities of both companies. As a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), EMS is bidding for a significant information management assignment from the State of Maryland. Young also said that MYCOM Group may team with EMS to bid for portions of a $6.9 billion information technology contract that the U.S. Navy awarded last fall to Electronic Data Systems (EDS).
"This alliance is a part of EMS' tidal wave strategy, focusing on growth through partnerships and acquisitions, infrastructure efficiencies, national expansion, and e-business strategies," according to EMS co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Cecil Robinson. "The alliance strengthens EMS' portfolio of services and it will enable our customers to further rely on our end-to-end approach in delivering solutions."
