| SSB will occupy the space on January
1, 2007 and plans to provide Help Desk and Call Center
support for commercial and government clients. Garrett
County is a HubZone and is ideal for SSB's operations
since it offers access to a large, skilled, educated,
workforce in a low cost of living region. In addition
to being co-located with Garrett College, the site is
close to several other colleges and universities in the
Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania tri-state area. |

| SSB has begun joint operations with
Your Talent Coach, to provide online web-based personality
evaluations to satisfy various corporate HR requirements
including new employee screening, effective Tips for Team
Building and Structuring, and overall corporate employee
synergistic information to enhance employee productivity,
job satisfaction, etc. The site, ".Four Strengths,"
is being structured to also offer evaluations for individuals
seeking coaching and insight into their strengths and
suitability for existing or new careers. The evaluations
enable a greater understanding of such factors as one's
comfort zone under various conditions; how one is likely
to react under stress; whether or not one is better suited
to work alone or with a team; and more complex issues,
such as one's likelihood of prospering better in a highly
unstructured environment as an entrepreneur or in a well-defined,
secure environment within a large corporation. |

| SSB has completed the final testing
of their latest LMS product. The LMS is SCORM-compatible
and offers functionality usually found only in the most
expensive Learning Management Systems. It runs on windows
and UNIX platforms, is designed to be branded for each
client's requirements, enables clients to establish multi-tiered
permissions and roles for their users, has an intuitive
interface and includes numerous utilities and reporting
functions that can be tailored to the client's needs.
The LMS can be enhanced with several other functions such
as job-shadowing, certification tracking and access to
blended training. This latest release exploits the lessons-learned
from SSB's pioneering e-learning initiatives since 1997.

| The Department of State has tasked
SSB to enhance the utility of the WebMove Application
to include access to a targeted document repository with
password access. The controlled access will enable the
synchronization of post-specific documentation between
the Internet and the Department of State intranet. This
initial tasking will demonstrate WebMove's ability to
satisfy other more comprehensive e-gov initiatives such
as e-clearances and e-document integration. |

| SSB has successfully completed
their web-based Train-the-Trainer curriculum, developed
to satisfy the needs of the Intelligence Community. Historically
trainers in the Intelligence Community come from either
military training schools or homegrown training efforts.
Almost all the Trainers in the Intelligence Community
are SMEs, but not all SMEs are trainers. New personnel
need training to fill analyst gaps, especially as SIGINT
analysts. The first step is to ensure that experienced
personnel have the proper skills to be a trainer. Initial
use of the SSB Train-the-Trainer curriculum will be to
certify their trainers internally; afterwards it will
be made available to other organizations within the Intelligence
Community needing similar credentialing. With this new
curriculum, coupled with SSB's distance learning tool-set,
SSB continues to demonstrate the ability to provide the
highest level of quality support to meet today's Intelligence
Community training requirements. |

worldwide. |
