Press Release Summary: Despite economy, EduCorp Training and Consulting continues to
grow by acquiring new division, ETC Solutions

Press Release Body: EduCorp Training and Consulting, a leader in IT training,
announces the launch of ETC Solutions, its full-service IT consulting division. ETC
Solutions provides enterprise-class technology solutions for small- to mid-sized
companies.
ETC Solutions is the result of the acquisition by EduCorp of MDR Consulting and
Education. MDR Consulting and Education was a fifteen year old IT consulting firm
specializing in enterprise-level storage, security, and IBM hardware and software
solutions. As a top provider of IBM and Microsoft training, EduCorp found MDR's
solutions to be the perfect complement to their existing offerings.
"We are delighted to be able to offer our clients enterprise-class technology
solutions, from strategy, to hardware and software, all the way through long-term
technical support. We work with small and mid-sized firms who want and deserve that
level of end-to-end technology support, but have found it inaccessible in the past."
said Sue Murray, EduCorp's founder and President.
"This was a natural fit," adds Mark Rodriguez, founder of MDR Consulting and
Education and now Vice President of ETC Solutions. "Both firms immediately saw that
we could serve our clients better by consolidating our expertise."
With 200+ consultants available to serve clients in key areas such as storage, data
security, and disaster recovery, EduCorp is poised to serve as a one-stop shop for
clients' technology needs.
Unlike many large consulting firms, where teams are led by senior technologists
while day-to-day development is done by less experienced staff, the ETC Solutions
consulting team is comprised entirely of highly experienced IT professionals. Sue
Murray comments that "one of the most exciting aspects of the acquisition is the
caliber of the consultants that are now a part of our team. Our team now has many
years of experience, multiple certifications, and a true dedication to excellence."
Additionally, she adds, "There are no junior team members learning while billing on
the client site with ETC Solutions."
