MARKHAM, ON, March 30, 2011 - VIQ Solutions Inc. ("VIQ", "VIQ Solutions" or the
"Corporation") (TSX Venture: VQS) is pleased to announce that the Corporation will
commence the national rollout of the digital recording software and services project in
the United Kingdom previously announced in April 2009.
The national rollout consists of the implementation of VIQ's digital audio recording and
management solution for 536 installations in the United Kingdom. Consisting of
software, hardware and associated services, this phase of the project is estimated to
generate £1.5 million in revenue for VIQ, including approximately £340,000 of service
revenue that will be billed over the implementation period.
"We are extremely pleased to commence the national rollout for this prestigious project,"
said David Outhwaite, President and CEO of VIQ Solutions. "After the success of the
early stage implementation ("ESI") phase, the commencement of the national rollout
solidifies our reputation as a world leader in digital audio capture and management
solutions."
The rollout is scheduled to commence in June of 2011 and will take approximately
twelve months to complete. VIQ's Commercial off the Shelf ("COTS") enterprise-level
Encompass Server and Workstation solutions will be installed in 96 locations.
The project initially called for VIQ to provide a complete digital audio recording and
management solution for approximately 653 fixed and portable installations across the
United Kingdom. The early stage implementation phase of the project consisted of 118
installations and was completed in the first quarter of 2010.
