Critical Information Network

CiNet Partners with The ComVest Group
In December 2008, The ComVest Group partnered with Norm Willox and the newly formed company, Critical Information Network (CiNet), to purchase the assets of TWL Corporation. TWL was previously the parent company of familiar training brands such as FETN, LETN, PSTN, HSTN, LTCN, and Trinity Healthforce Learning. The investment represents a strategic opportunity for the The ComVest Group and will allow CiNet to maintain and expand the critical training content offerings that TWL’s customers have come to depend on. Please visit The ComVest Group news release for more information on the acquisition and the new management team.
