FAIRFIELD, NJ--(Marketwire - July 20, 2009) - Dr. Alan McCartney, COO of Virtual Ed Link (PINKSHEETS: [ VRED ]), announced today that VRED has expanded its marketing efforts to the commercial enterprise market.

Now, more than ever, commercial enterprises, energy and utility companies, government agencies, municipalities and health care companies and organizations are on high alert for physical security and safety breaches. Timely, effective, documented communication, preparation, training and planning are essential to field force mobilization, physical security and the safety of the workplace.

When faced with planning and implementing an enterprise-wide emergency response strategy, many of these organizations address the problem by implementing several independent solutions. While this approach can be reasonably effective it can also result in disjointed communications and disparate systems deployment that can prove problematic from a complete emergency management perspective.

VRED's integrated solution enables the mobilization people during emergencies and in everyday, time-sensitive situations. The portal based Safety and Security Management System provides a web based integrated command and control center that is capable of providing commercial and enterprise organizations with the resources necessary to prepare for and manage any crisis situation.

According to a report by Frost and Sullivan, the mass communication side of the safety and security market may approximate $1 billion over the remainder of the decade. This segment of the market has witnessed strong growth with overall market revenues reaching $357.5 million in 2007. It is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9 percent for the period from 2008 to 2013.

Virtual Ed Link fills the need for a comprehensive integrated safety and security management system that will meet today's complex and evolving requirements. The company is actively establishing strategic partnerships to help them channel into these vertical markets.
