Partnership Will Serve U.S. Government Market With 'Always Fast, Always On' Products

McLean, VA - Avokia Inc., which provides software that ensures the continuous availability of its customers' business applications, and immixGroup, Inc., a government business consulting and channel management company, announced an agreement with immixTechnology, a subsidiary of immixGroup Inc., that provides Avokia with a sales channel to the U.S. government.

Specifically, immixTechnology will be a reseller of Avokia's apLive and apSpeed products, which ensure continuous availability and high performance of its customers' business applications.

"immixTechnology is one of the fastest growing technology resellers to the U.S. government today," said Avokia CEO Alan McMillan. "A relationship with immixTechnology opens up that marketplace for Avokia."

Selling to the U.S. government requires a General Services Administration registration, and immixTechnology is a GSA schedule holder. In fact, immixTechnology was recently named to Federal Computer Week's Top 50 GSA Schedule Contractors list in the September 5, 2005 issue, growing 91.3 per cent over its previous year's ranking figures.

"We're delighted to partner with Avokia as part of its U.S. public sector business strategy," said Art Richer, senior vice president of immixGroup Inc. and president of immixTechnology. "By leveraging our long-standing success as a government technology reseller, Avokia has the opportunity to propel its public sector business to a whole new level."
