Reduction in costs result in estimated annual savings of over U.S. $1.6 million

VANCOUVER, CANADA--(Marketwire - Jan. 22, 2009) - Versatile Systems Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VV)(AIM:VVS), today announced that it has implemented a series of cost reductions in light of the current economic climate.

Versatile has reduced its workforce, focused research and development activities on core products, and redeployed research and development staff to the professional services group.

The Company will continue to monitor its costs in relation to its revenues and changes within the economy.

"We believe we have adopted a balanced approach in continuing to align our cost structures in light of the current economic environment," said John Hardy, Chairman and CEO of Versatile. "Nevertheless, we have also maintained our ability to pursue growth opportunities, which will enable us to generate long term profitability in a very challenging market environment."
