Richardson, Texas, May 18, 2018--Vertical Computer Systems, Inc. (“VCSY”) (OTCBB: VCSY) announced today that VCSY and Sawblade Ventures, LLC (“Sawblade”) will be entering into a strategic alliance to develop a secure communications conduit that combines hardware and software solutions. The product will seek to integrate certain technologies of each company to achieve a hyper-secure communications link to create trusted document storage and audit capabilities for special needs communities.

“The combination of secure data transmission and deeply imbedded flexible hardware is lacking in most electronic communities and data exchange systems,” added Scott Winning, President and CEO of Sawblade Ventures, LLC. “Our combined unique capabilities will make available the private secure communications needed in today’s fast changing electronics world”.

“Vertical Computer Systems is pleased to have an opportunity to explore a development partnership with Sawblade Ventures to integrate VCSY’s proprietary Ploinks® technology with Sawblade’s scalable, chip level encryption solution for the special needs community. We believe that the combination of our Ploinks®-based technology end-point encryption software solution with Sawblade’s patented, localized, obfuscated integrated hardware will produce a much needed, value added security component for use in end-to-end encryption systems and one that can be extended beyond the special needs communities,” said Richard Wade, President and CEO of Vertical Computer Systems, Inc.
