TTN Titan Corp

Reliable Integration Services, Inc. (Reliable) today announced that it is rapidly moving forward with the implementation of its Mentor-Protege (M-P) relationship with The Titan Corporation (NYSE:TTN), a leading national security solutions provider. Titan and Reliable were informed of the partnership's acceptance in the Defense Information Systems Agency- (DISA-) managed portion of the Department of Defense (DoD) M-P Program in late June. As part of the Titan/Reliable M-P Agreement involving Technology Transfer, Reliable will become a Titan business partner in the engineering, installation and management of Titan's patented Multi-Domain Security Solution (MDSS) product for DoD and Federal customers. The M-P Program is designed to widen the U.S. economic base by assisting small businesses in competing for prime-contract and subcontract awards through partnerships with larger companies. Titan has been supporting the Program as a DISA-sponsored Mentor Company since 1997. Although the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) regulation was revised in 2001 to allow for active participation in the Mentor-Protege Program by woman-owned small businesses regardless of their socioeconomic status, Reliable becomes the first woman-owned small business that is not a small, disadvantaged business (SDB) to participate with Titan in the program as a DISA Protege. "Reliable is an ideal partner for us in the Mentor-Protege Program," said Ed Ohlert, president and general manager of The Titan Corporation's Continuity Assurance Group. "The company has managed networks of up to 500,000 users for a variety of organizations, and that experience will prove valuable to DoD agencies as they expand their networks in the United States and around the globe with MDSS." MDSS is a hardware and software solution that enables agencies to securely transport multiple levels of classified voice, video and data traffic over the same network infrastructure at lower costs and with greater ease. Titan's MDSS solution has achieved Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) certification for transport of traffic classified as Secret, Top Secret and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI). As a member of the Defense Intelligence Certification and Support Team (DICAST), DIA ensures the product meets the most stringent requirements for protection of classified information. "We look forward to working with Titan to bring the revolutionary benefits of MDSS to DoD customers as they move toward network-centric operations," said Valerie W. Perlowitz, president and chief executive officer of Reliable. "Joining the Mentor-Protege Program with Titan is a significant milestone in our company's history. The Mentor-Protege Program has fueled the growth of many small businesses, and we are proud to join that list."
