Alanco Signs Cooperative Marketing Agreement with SAIC
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. --(Business Wire)-- April 1, 2004 -- Agreement Expected to Speed Widespread Adoption of TSI PRISM(TM) RFID Tracking Technology In Nation's Prison Systems
Alanco Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALAN), developer of the TSI PRISM RFID inmate tracking system for the corrections industry, today announced a cooperative marketing agreement with Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) to jointly develop new federal and state market opportunities for Alanco's proprietary TSI PRISM technology.
Under terms of the agreement, the parties plan to pursue targeted federal and state correctional opportunities offering maximum benefit from a TSI PRISM deployment as measured by potential cost savings, reduced inmate violence and enhanced officer safety. SAIC also will provide appropriate lobbying support, as well as be involved in a broad range of contract implementation services, including financing, project management, on-site installation, staff training and warranty service. Initially, two Alanco/SAIC proposals totaling $6.5 million have been submitted to California for a 2,300 inmate prison and a 1,800 inmate women's facility. Two additional proposals are in process and expected to be submitted in the near future.
SAIC is pleased to be working with Alanco to help improve the overall safety and management of our nation's prison systems, said Craig Lewis, SAIC corporate vice president.
Robert R. Kauffman, Alanco chairman and CEO, commented, We anticipate that our new agreement with SAIC can provide essential ingredients to accelerate our TSI PRISM market development activities. In addition to invaluable assistance in the complex federal and state government procurement process, SAIC's extensive systems installation/integration and project management experience can provide crucial support as the scale of our business evolves to multiple, simultaneous project executions. We are optimistic that this new Alanco/SAIC effort can provide the final 'lift-off' required to establish TSI PRISM as a new standard of inmate management and officer safety for the nation's prisons.
