Vienna, VA - May 13, 2010 /PRnewswire/ - Emergent, an award winning small business and IT solutions provider, today announced it has been awarded a three-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The BPA provides DHS a cost effective streamlined procurement mechanism for all Adobe products on Emergent’s GSA schedule. The contract provides access to those Adobe products to all of the DHS components including: Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Citizen and Immigration Services (CIS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), Transportation and Security Administration (TSA), United States Coast Guard (USCG), United States Secret Service (USSS), Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) and the Office of Inspector General (OIG).

“The award is an acknowledgement of Emergent’s leadership working with advanced Adobe products and technologies to solve complex and mission critical business challenges,” said Greg Christensen, President of Emergent. “We are honored and proud to support the men and women across DHS in support of their mission to secure the United States and preserve our freedoms.”

Servicing all the DHS components, this BPA award supports the DHS vision to leverage advanced technologies to communicate efficiently and effectively, both internally and externally while reducing the amount of paper documents and increasing the use of electronic documents. The BPA will further decrease costs, reduce paperwork and save time eliminating the need for any repetitive, individual purchases and ultimately is a procurement mechanism that works better and costs the U.S. government less.

Barry Leffew, Vice President, Public Sector Sales at Adobe, adds, “Adobe products and solutions play a key role in all aspects of the public sector, helping simplify the business of government anytime, anywhere and through any medium. We’re excited to work with Emergent in support of this DHS-wide BPA to bring Adobe’s entire suite of software to the broad range of DHS components.”

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the ideal operating system in today’s increasingly virtual world, with its high performance, scalability, and ease of management. Virtualization has many benefits, but increased systems density also increases the complexity of the IT infrastructure. The last thing that you want is for your management costs to significantly increase and cancel out all of the benefits of moving to a virtualized infrastructure.

In this session, we will discuss how the combination of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Network Satellite can make it easier to manage your virtualized Red Hat Enterprise Linux infrastructure, resulting in a more secure, highly available and consistent environment.

Vienna, VA - February 16, 2010 /PRnewswire/ - Emergent, an award winning small business and IT solutions provider, announced today it has completed another successful week of teleworking by leveraging Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro during the historic snowstorms which blanked the DC Metro area.  Telework, also known as telecommuting, is designed to allow employees to work from another location other than the worksite, including home or remote sites.  Telework popularity has increased over the past few years, with GSA and OPM leading the charge in the government - encouraging all government agencies to implement programs in order to reduce traffic and emissions, improve employee productivity, while saving time and money.

Emergent launched their telework program several years ago when they brought Adobe on as their flagship vendor.  With Adobe onboard, Emergent quickly realized the benefits of Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro, a real-time collaboration solution vital for providing Continuity of Operations (COOP). Due to the recent snowstorms in the area, Emergent employees have been able to conduct business as usual, utilizing the technology put in place to effectively telework from their homes around the DC Metro Area.

“We were happy that the investment we made in Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro enabled us to remain open and productive during the blizzards of 2010” said Greg Christensen, President.  “Without the ability to telework, we would not have been able to support our customers with the time and attention they expect in support of their agencies mission or business goals.”
