SkillTRAN Purchases VERTEK·
SkillTRAN - the maker of Job Browser Pro software and Internet-Based products announces the purchase of VERTEK the maker of OASYS, Occubrowse Plus and Occubrowse
Spokane Valley, Washington - (September 1, 2010)
SkillTRAN LLC, the maker of Job Browser Pro software and Internet-Based products, today announced that it has acquired the assets of VERTEK OIS Inc., a software company specializing in Transferable Skills Analysis, Career and Labor Market Information.
SkillTRAN's purchase of VERTEK, based in Bellevue, WA, expands SkillTRAN's ability to serve the Rehabilitation, Forensic and Career Guidance markets. "The combination of VERTEK with our unique products will provide our customers a full range of tools," said Jeff Truthan, president of SkillTRAN, LLC. "The acquisition will result in greater efficiencies and significantly increase our presence in existing and new markets," added Truthan.
SkillTRAN will use VERTEK's existing personnel, products and distribution channels. "The integration of both companies will take place over the next six months. Our customers will continue to receive the same high quality products and services, which they have come to expect," stated Jeff Truthan.
SkillTRAN and VERTEK had begun discussions in 2009. In early 2010, the unexpected loss of VERTEK's principal, the late Gale Gibson, interrupted the acquisition process. In "passing the reins", Gale desired continued good care of the VERTEK customer base, preservation of his legacy, and a continuing opportunity for his loyal staff.
SkillTRAN pledges its continued legendary customer support and sustained legacy of innovation. In Gale's honor, SkillTRAN has committed to endow the International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals (IARP) Gale G. Gibson Memorial Educational Fund.
