InsiderAdvantage.com Establishes Alliance with Government Contract Services

ATLANTA, Feb. 20, 2002 - InsiderAdvantage.com, the national Internet-based source of government-related information and consulting services, announced an alliance with Government Contract Services. Government Contract Services, Inc. (GCS) performs business development and proposal services for Fortune 500 companies and Small Business Concerns throughout the United States.

The alliance adds considerable value for customers of InsiderAdvantage.com and GovernmentBids.com-already the flagship resource for companies that do business with governments-and continues a steady pattern of alliances by InsiderAdvantage.com since its launch April 2000.

"This alliance can help clients mobilize key contacts and coordinate communications that are essential for doing business with government," said IA Chairman Matt Towery. "This partnership is another piece of our aggressive plan to create, acquire and aggregate sources of information concerning government and business."

GCS has won over $400 million in government contracts for its more than 4,000 clients. The company has a team with over 100 years of combined government contracting experience.

"GCS members can expect quick access to procurement opportunities at GovernmentBids.com's online listing service," said Ivan Moscoso, Director of Business Development.

The alliance will add substantial value for clients of both companies. InsiderAdvantage.com will provide clients an affordable resource to help win government contacts, while GCS customers will have direct access to InsiderAdvantage.com's proprietary information on forthcoming but unannounced opportunities to do business with state and local governments. InsiderAdvantage.com's coverage of active procurement listings currently extends to more than 12,900 federal, state, provincial and local agencies in the United States, Canada, and Australia.

The company serves more than 15,000 registered subscribers worldwide. "Its amazing that in three short years InsiderAdvantage.com has grown to this level of service," said Mark Knowles, InsiderAdvantage.com President & CEO. "This new relationship should push us past our goal of 20,000 subscribers by spring."

Company founders are former state representative Matt Towery and former Georgia Lt. Governor Pierre Howard. IA clients have the option of choosing subscription-based products that include active and upcoming procurement information, legislative analysis, business trends analysis, and state political news. You can learn more about any of IA's products by contacting Mark Knowles at 770.432.3267.
