AVERT, INC. ADDS MAJOR ACCOUNTS DIVISION TO ITS JOINT MARKETING AGREEMENT
WITH ADP FOR PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING SERVICES
FORT COLLINS, Colorado - Avert, Inc. (Nasdaq National Market/AVRT), an
information services company providing employment screening and support to a
diverse nationwide client base, today announced an additional agreement with
Automatic Data Processing (ADP), Employer Services, (New York Stock
Exchange/AUD) to broaden its joint marketing partnership. This new agreement
calls for Avert services to be offered nationwide to ADP customers in the Major
Accounts division.
ADP's Major Accounts Division is comprised of customers employing from 100 to
999 employees. Through this agreement, Avert services will be marketed to Major
Account customers in a packaged format. The terms of the agreement are similar
in nature to an earlier agreement announced May 11, 1999 between Avert and ADP's
Emerging Business Services Division. The Emerging Business Services Division
focuses on providing ADP's selection of products and services to employers with
fewer than 100 employees.
"Both of the agreements are designed to capitalize on Avert's ability to provide
interactive, on-line resources for screening employment candidates," commented
Dean A. Suposs, President and Chairman of Avert, Inc.
