PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2003--EDT Learning, Inc. EDT announced today the release of an ASP version of its award-winning software, LearnLinc(R). This ASP version of its virtual classroom and Web conferencing software provides its customers with even more options. Traditionally, LearnLinc customers could only purchase the software and install it on their own network. While large corporations like JPMorgan, EDS and Aetna benefited greatly, smaller organizations without their own IT infrastructure or capital budgets often choose to license Web conferencing software. In response to customer demand of this mid-market and in order to broaden LearnLinc's reach, EDT Learning now offers both purchase and license options.
Commenting on the announcement, James M. Powers, Jr., EDT Learning's president and chief executive officer, said, "Our LearnLinc customers have long appreciated the rich feature set that LearnLinc has to offer. For many years, LearnLinc has been recognized as the most comprehensive and powerful virtual classroom software in the training marketplace. With this ASP version, we expect to capture our share of the Web conferencing and customer support markets, providing customers with a lower initial investment. With the tightening of corporate training budgets, we have seen more requests for a smaller investment with longer commitments, so we have adjusted accordingly. What is so exciting about this new ASP version is that, although more affordable, it still provides the same rich feature set as our traditional client-server version of LearnLinc."
LearnLinc will now be available for licensing for a monthly fee and will provide the same feature set as other Web conferencing companies in the industry. The acquisition of LearnLinc by EDT Learning from Mentergy, Inc. was closed in December 2002 and provided EDT Learning with comprehensive online training software rivaling the likes of WebEx and Placeware.
