Complex Solutions Inc., a Kailua-based firm that provides training and educational services worldwide, has been acquired by a larger Mainland company, which will keep the company as a subsidiary and give it access to more information technology and other resources.

Terms of the acquisition by Huntsville, Ala.-based Camber Corp. weren't disclosed.

Complex Solutions President Glen Dower said there are no changes planned for his company's about 35 employees and that the both companies' businesses are complementary.

Camber has more of a military focus to its training work, while Complex Solutions focuses more on peacekeeping, disaster response and reconstruction.

"Our customers should see no change at all," said Dower from the company's Pali Palms offices. "Complex Solutions will be a wholly owned subsidiary."

The company was founded in 2000 and located in Hawai'i so it had easy access to both the Mainland and Asia. Dower said its business includes providing education and training to senior and mid-level officials for governments, international organizations and nongovernmental organizations.

The work includes training planners on how to best integrate the work of many organizations during disasters or peacekeeping efforts.

"We don't respond to emergencies themselves," Dower said. "We help formulate plans and concepts about how to deal with various scenarios."

Among Complex Solutions' contracts is a five-year $92 million deal to provide its expertise to the Center for Civil Military Relations in Monterey, Calif.

Camber already has operations in Hawai'i in providing military and defense training, education and engineering services. The 17-year-old company has 1,450 employees and revenue of $200 million a year, spokeswoman Mellissa Blockel said.

Camber's work extends from biological agent monitoring for homeland security operations to acquisition management and software development, according to its Web site.

"Combining Camber with CSI is a win-win for our customers and our companies," Walter Batson, chief executive officer of Camber, said in a press statement. "Joining multi-disciplinary international planning with joint operational and tactical training will position us to help our customers deal with diverse training audiences in increasingly complex contingencies, including joint operations, post-conflict practices and international relief efforts.

"We're especially encouraged by this acquisition as we believe our combined strengths constitute a depth of operational and technical experience absolutely vital to the security of our nation and the customers both Camber and CSI serve."
