We will be attending the 6th International Fisheries Observer and Monitoring Conference in Portland, Maine from July 20th - 24th. Bryan Stevenson and Phil Bailey will be attending from Electric Edge. The goals of the conference are "To improve fishery monitoring programs worldwide through sharing of practices and development of new methods of data collection and analysis. To provide a forum for dialog between those responsible for monitoring fisheries and those who rely upon the data they collect."

We plan to meet and share information with a variety of government officials, fishery managers, industry representatives and consultants from all over the world as a key part of our efforts to produce solutions that meet the conservation and regulatory needs of today's fisheries.

We have been awarded the role of development lead for the National Special Licence Issue System (NSLIS) project for Fisheries and Oceans Canada. NSLIS will be used to issue and track special licenses such as those issued for scientific research.

Electric Edge Systems' roles include documentation of functional requirements, database development, coding of the application, creation of test plans, and ongoing maintenance.

Electric Edge is pleased to announce that it was a successful bidder for a three-year standing offer contract with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. This extends the previous standing offer and allows us to continue the wide variety of systems design, development, and support work that we currently provide.

On behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada I would like to thank Electric Edge Systems Group and in particular Bryan Stevenson and Phil Bailey for their significant contribution to the successful development of our new Electronic Monitoring program in the groundfish fisheries. Your system development efforts were key to finishing this very challenging and ground breaking 2 year project that has been called by some as "the most significant change to fishery monitoring in the last 30 years".

Your willingness to work long hours under challenging conditions and still produce a high quality product on time are noted and sincerely appreciated by the Department and industry. We would be pleased to act as a reference for your future work. Please contact Lorne Collicutt at 250-756-7273 for specific reference information. Please feel free to use this correspondence in any promotional material for your company. Once again, thank you and your hard work and perseverance during this important project.

Yours truly,

D. D. Radford

Greg Rusak and Phil Bailey of Electric Edge Systems Group have provided a wide variety of software development services to BC Ferries over the last four years. Most recently, I managed a major development project in which Greg and Phil were instrumental. The project involved the design, creation, and implementation of several mission-critical software applications that replaced legacy, mainframe-based systems. Greg and Phil were a pleasure to work with. Their skill, professionalism, and enthusiasm were greatly appreciated.

Electric Edge was easy to work with and laid out a clear plan of work that needed to be done and the costs involved. They were quick to respond to any concerns and corrections to be made as we proceeded through the work...we greatly appreciated their commitment.
