Merlin International Creates New Public Sector Solutions and Technology Divisions.

Former BEA Executive Gregory Feldman to Lead New Technology Systems Division

DENVER -- In response to rapidly evolving market needs, Merlin International, one of the nation's fastest growing federal IT solutions providers, today announced it has established three new divisions of the company -- the Enterprise Solutions Division (ESD), Special Programs Division (SPD), and the Technology Systems Division (TSD). In addition, the company announced that former BEA executive Gregory Feldman will lead the new TSD group as the Vice President of technology systems.

The Enterprise Solutions Division serves as the consulting and systems integration arm of the company and is the key business component of Merlin's growth strategy in 2007. Under the direction of John Trauth, executive vice president of government systems, ESD will manage full-scale implementations for public sector agencies, with an emphasis on creating security, managed content, enterprise messaging and enterprise management solutions. The Special Programs Division, announced October 24 2006, is specifically designed to handle the engineering services needs of the National Security and Defense agencies.

"This restructuring strengthens Merlin's position in the market by enabling key teams to focus on growing our core competencies," said David Phelps, CEO and president, Merlin International. "Moreover, the addition of Greg Feldman allows the company to maintain its presence as a leading solutions provider while we focus on continuing to grow our professional services business. He is a consummate sales professional who possesses the leadership qualities needed to inspire and energize our expanding sales team."

TSD will serve as the company's conduit to provide Merlin's technology partners with access and contract vehicles for reaching federal government agencies. Merlin technology professionals will help partners navigate industry specific activities such as getting on GSA schedules as well as help partners close deals faster and provide the back-end support required to succeed in this market, said Phelps.

As the head of the TSD, Greg Feldman will be based in the company's Vienna, Virgina office and will also oversee client-relationship management and the overall operations of both the product and inside sales teams. He will report to John Trauth, executive vice president, government systems.

"I am very excited about joining Merlin as it moves into a leadership position in the federal IT market," said Greg Feldman, vice president, TSD, Merlin International. "I look forward to working with Merlin's experienced sales team to drive technology adoption while maintaining the high service standards our customers and partners expect."

Feldman brings more than 15 years of sales and channel management experience to Merlin International and has been an important contributor to the success of several industry-leading enterprise software companies, including BEA Systems and Cisco. Most recently, Feldman served as Senior Director of the Americas Channels at BEA Systems, where he was responsible for executing the sales strategy for general and emerging territory in the United States and Canada.
