TOMS RIVER, NJ--(Marketwire - July 14, 2009) - Visual Management Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: [ VMSY ]), a leading digital surveillance company, announced today it has been named to SDM Magazine's Annual Top Systems Integrators report for the third year in a row. The SDM report is a nationwide index of the 100 largest systems integrators in the security industry.

SDM ranks integrators on an annual revenue basis. In 2008, the top 100 integrators combined to recognize nearly $8 billion for the second year in a row. Like VMSY, the group recorded a 1% increase in year-over-year results. VMSY ranked seventy-ninth this year, a one position move from last year's ranking.

"Achieving the national ranking for the third year running is a huge accomplishment for VMS," said Jason Gonzalez, the company's CEO. "With the current condition of the economy and the way last year ended for everyone in the industry, keeping pace with the rest of the nation's top firms is critical to our long-term success."

Mr. Gonzalez added, "I consider our achievement particularly impressive considering we continue to derive nearly all our revenue from video surveillance, while most of our competitors recognize only a portion of their revenue from video. When we look deeper into what's going on in the United States and globally, it's easy to stay excited about opportunities for growth as the financial environment improves."

SDM Magazine is a monthly publication with a circulation of over 30,000 that targets integrators and distributors of security technology. Each year, it releases an analysis of the integration market, including the SDM Annual Top Systems Integrators rankings. The index evaluates "businesses that derive more than half of their revenue from the sale, design/engineering, installation and service of multi-technology electronic security systems, such as access control and identification, video surveillance, alarms, perimeter security, and other network-based technologies."
