AVERT, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND STAGE OF PILOT WITH AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING
FORT COLLINS, Colorado - Avert, Inc. (Nasdaq National Market/AVRT), an
information services company that provides employment background checks to a
growing nationwide customer base, today announced an agreement with Automatic
Data Processing, ADP Employer Services, (New York Stock Exchange/AUD) to extend
a pilot program to offer pre-employment screening services to the ADP customer
base. The new agreement calls for Avert services to be offered to ADP customers
in the greater Chicago area.
This agreement modifies an earlier pilot arrangement by which Avert's products
were offered in the Boston area. The purpose of the extension is to further test
market acceptance of product options for Avert services. During the pilot
program the ADP sales force will be marketing the Avert services directly to its
customers and Avert personnel will provide sales support and customer training.
The pilot program is expected to last until September of this year.
"We look forward to extending our relationship with ADP through this pilot,"
commented Dean Suposs, president and chairman of Avert, Inc. "Working with the
ADP sales and marketing organization is consistent with our AvertAffinity
program of integrating Avert services with those of other human resource
management software and services providers."
The agreement also allows Avert, Inc. to participate in several joint marketing
activities with ADP. Included in such opportunities is "Preferred Services
Vendor" status, participation in seminars presented to ADP clients, and article
inclusions in the ADP Advisor, a publication focused on issues affecting ADP's
payroll service clients.
ADP Employer Services is the world's largest provider of payroll services and
human resource information systems. It offers a comprehensive range of benefits,
payroll, payroll tax deposits and reporting, time and attendance, 401(k)
recordkeeping and unemployment compensation management services.
Through its headquarters in Fort Collins, Avert is an information services
company that provides thousands of employment background checks daily to
employers nationwide. Avert guarantees that its products and services are the
most current and accurate available. Products and services include criminal
records, civil records, workers' compensation histories, driving records,
