(otcqb:IFLG) a leading provider of enterprise mobility solutions for the
healthcare and commercial industries, announced today that they have entered into
a definitive agreement under which InfoLogix will be acquired by Stanley for

portfolio diversification strategy and continues the expansion of one of our
growth platforms, Stanley Healthcare Solutions," said Brian Kaner, CFO and COO of
Stanley Convergent Security/Healthcare Solutions. "Offering strategic technology
consulting services will enable Stanley Healthcare Solutions to assist clients in
improving workflow, productivity and profitability through complete enterprise
mobility solutions. With a strong leadership team and talented employee base, we
plan to leverage InfoLogix's expertise in mobility solutions, clinical
integration services, and mobile managed services in expanding our growing
security and healthcare businesses."
"By combining InfoLogix's technologies, solutions and customer relationships
together with Stanley's suite of healthcare products and services, intellectual
property and global presence, we will be uniquely positioned in the healthcare
and mobility marketplaces," said Dave Gulian, President and CEO of InfoLogix.
"InfoLogix has enabled 2,200 healthcare and commercial organizations to make
better decisions, mobilize their data investments, and manage their systems and
supply chain. We look forward to joining with Stanley and driving accelerated
growth while extending our services globally."
