EmerGeo Solutions Worldwide Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EMG)(FRANKFURT:
EMI.F) (the "Company", "EmerGeo" or "EMG"), a leading provider of
Emergency Management software and consulting services, is pleased
to announce that the Company continues to grow internationally,
advance its technology and build strategic alliances.
Over the past several months we have all experienced difficult
market conditions around the globe. This market turmoil, however,
has not affected EMG. Management has made exceptional progress on
executing the Company mandated business plan and achieving
projected sales targets.
Investment in our market sector, public safety and homeland
security, continues to grow significantly despite the current
upheaval in World markets. EMG's technology helps responders
protect people, property and the environment against the adverse
consequences of emergencies, terrorism and disasters - investment
is only going to continue to grow in this area. The Company has
invested in systems and hired key staff in Sales/Marketing, Product
Development, Customer Support and Finance/Administration to build a
strong foundation for growth.
Below is a brief summary of a few key business activities that
EMG has successfully cultivated since April 2008:
1. United Arab Emirates
a. Secured a key C$555,000 contract in October 2008 for the
provision of emergency management consulting services to design and
implement sustainable and comprehensive Emergency Management Plans
and Systems in the region. The contracting organization has
requested to remain un-named.
b. Established EmerGeo Solutions Middle East Inc. with an office
and staff in Abu Dhabi.
c. Two sizeable multi-year, multi-million dollar proposals have
been submitted for the supply of EMG emergency management software
and consulting services in new state of the art emergency operation
centers in the region. Awards are expected in early 2009.
d. Additionally large proposals have been submitted for EmerGeo
software, systems integration, training/simulation and consulting
services in the region.
2. USA
a. Successful completion of a substantial implementation of
WebEOC� and EmerGeo software at the largest gas and utility company
in the USA. The software has been deployed in production as of
August 2008 and will support hundreds of users throughout Southern
California. Project extensions and expansion are planned for
2009.
b. Successful implementation of EmerGeo software in a US State's
Emergency Operation Centre. This is the third US State Agency to
buy EmerGeo products and services and we are rapidly becoming a
recognized name in the USA, as we initiate a new sales program
focused on the US Homeland Security market.
3. Canada
a. Under a 5 year contract, EMG is developing and hosting online
EOC and Emergency Response courses for 6000 employees and
contractors working at the largest oil sands production facility in
the world with capacity to produce over 15% of Canada's oil
requirements. EMG is also providing Incident Command System (ICS)
training to key emergency response staff and management.
b. EMG was recently contracted to develop the Emergency Response
Awareness online course at a global energy company with over 3500
employees. The course will be delivered to locations in Canada, US,
North Sea, UK, Norway, Yemen, West Africa and Colombia.
c. EMG will assist one of the largest air based transport
medicine programs operating in North America with the development
and implementation of their Emergency Management programs and
Incident Management System (IMS). EMG has also been contracted to
deliver both online and instructor based training to over 300
employees.
d. EMG has worked closely with a large pipeline company over the
past 9 months to install EmerGeo software and update/harmonize all
emergency response programs, processes and systems for the entire
line.
4. Australia - EmerGeo software has been selected after an
intensive 2-year pilot as the standard emergency management system
that enables real-time information and data sharing between
multiple emergency response agencies. Additional sales to state and
local agencies are planned for FY2008/2009.
5. Strategic Alliances - several strategic alliances have been
formed to leverage our sales and technology around the world. An
example is CAE Professional Services (Canada) Inc. (www.cae.com), a
$1.4 billion Canadian company that is a world leader in simulation
technologies and services. CAE's simulation technology (S-Mission)
and 3-D mapping software has been integrated with EmerGeo and used
for a terrorist simulation project funded by a research arm of the
Department of National Defense. Together, EmerGeo and CAE are
pursuing several multi-million dollar opportunities around the
globe.
6. New EmerGeo Software Version Release - Version 4 of our
software was just released this quarter and initial feedback from
our customers and prospects is very exciting. Version 4 comes with
a higher price than earlier versions but gives customers the
advantage of a new web mapping interface, improved interfaces to
world leading software such as WebEOC�, Google Earth� and ESRI
ArcGIS�, enterprise scalability, and a platform for new hosted web
applications planned for 2009.

EmerGeo will continue to build, integrate and implement the
World's leading emergency management information systems that are
proven effective at helping save lives, secure property and protect
the environment - around the Globe.
