Austin, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/08/2007 -- Today NetDimensions, developer of the award-winning Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP) learning management system, announced the opening of its first regional office in the United States.

United States and Canada Vice President of Sales Mark Sanmarco manages the Austin office, now NetDimensions' North American headquarters. "From Austin we can provide "at-hand" sales and support services for local EKP users. This becomes increasingly important as the number of U.S. and Canadian clients grows," said Sanmarco.

"We've recently won a number of strategic contracts and we're closing more every month," he added. "Opening the hub office in Austin gives us the opportunity to give our clients even better service than before."

"The Austin office represents another step in NetDimensions' continued expansion," said NetDimensions Chief Executive Officer Jay Shaw.

"The U.S. was the logical next move. We are already one of the most successful learning management system providers in Europe and Asia. This new office provides the additional reach and on-the-ground expertise needed to achieve similar success with clients in the U.S.," Shaw added.

EKP 4.6: A powerful new release of the NetDimensions Enterprise Knowledge Platform and the first LMS to integrate SkillSoft's Open Learning Services Architecture.

Hong Kong, HK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/22/2006 -- Today, NetDimensions announced the release of the Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP) 4.6. The new NetDimensions learning management system (LMS) is now available to a select list of clients and partners under the NetDimensions controlled release program with global release scheduled to coincide with the NetDimensions EKP Users Conference September 12 in Bermuda.

Featuring the latest in virtual learning technology, EKP 4.6 is NetDimensions' most feature-rich learning management system. EKP is also the first learning and performance management system to be integrated with SkillSoft's Open Learning Services Architecture (OLSA).

Hailed as "groundbreaking" by SkillSoft Executive Vice President of Technology Mark Townsend, NetDimensions' efforts mark the first successful implementation of the OLSA initiative, originally announced in 2005 at the SkillSoft Perspectives conference. OLSA is based on Web services technology and provides SkillSoft learning services to Learning Management Systems for easier integration and richer e-learning experiences.

"Existing learning architectures have focused on integrating small learning objects when creating learning content within a single LMS," said Townsend. "EKP's successful integration of OLSA is the first example of the opportunities that exist to create effective, value-added learning solutions together with our partners that make it easier for end users to integrate their learning assets faster and more efficiently."

EKP 4.6 includes out-of-the-box support for OLSA and automatically checks for new and updated SkillSoft courses and assets the client is entitled to, and then immediately updates EKP's course catalogs. This Course Management Learning Service, according to Robert Lowe, NetDimensions' chief technology officer and head of the EKP-OLSA integration project, eliminates the manual work involved in keeping EKP course catalogs up to date.

"This means customers using EKP will have the newest courses as soon as they log on," said Lowe. "It's brilliant, and saves trainers a lot of time, especially if they have a large course library to maintain."

There's OLSA and there's also . . .

Aside from OLSA, EKP 4.6 promises to deliver improved usability with a number of high-level enhancements. A recent presentation on EKP 4.6 by NetDimensions Chief Information Officer Ray Ruff highlighted the new PENS (Package Exchange Notification Service) implementation that allows content authoring systems to interface directly with EKP, allowing the publishing of authored material directly to the LMS with the push of a button.

Ruff touched on a number of enhancements, including . . .

- A new, Lucene Open Source-based search engine embedded within EKP to allow for fast and more precise searching.

- A new report scheduler that gives administrators the option of setting up reports which EKP automatically generates and emails to recipient lists according to set schedules.

- New payment processing options that give administrators the ability to assign token-based costs to courses and track token balances at the user or organization level.

"The theme for EKP 4.6 was really to enhance user functionality and usability while, at the same time, to improve the technology within EKP," said Ruff. "This lays the groundwork for EKP 5.0, with which we'll release a number of even more ground-breaking innovations."

E-learning solutions firm to partner with LMS provider to offer top quality, on-demand solutions for wide range of companies.

Wan Chai, Hong Kong -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/26/2006 -- 360training, the leading provider of e-learning compliance and courseware solutions, today announced a strategic alliance with NetDimensions, the award winning developer of the Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP) Learning Management System (LMS).

360training will bolster its current corporate solutions e-learning portfolio by offering on-demand versions of the NetDimensions EKP family of LMS products.

"While the e-learning industry continues to consolidate, LMS buyers are still plagued by marketing hype and 'large-license-fees-up-front' and price intensive 'software-as-a-service' models which can result in the negative ROI we've all read about in the trade press," stated Albert Lilly, Chief Marketing Officer for 360training.

"We're about to change those models and we selected NetDimensions to partner with because of the company's passion for software engineering and solid track record pleasing multinational customers," Lilly added.

Through the alliance, 360training will aggressively advocate on-demand access to a broad range of LMS suites using a Bronze, Silver or Gold subscription model starting at less than $300 a month. The new on-demand solutions will cover the spectrum of talent and compliance management needs for the small and mid-sized business to the global enterprise.

Recognized as one of the top-rated LMSs in overall customer satisfaction by Bersin & Associates, EKP is used by heavyweight multinational corporations such as HSBC, ING, ABN AMRO, and Cathay Pacific.

"We are delighted to be working with 360training, one of the top firms in the field," said NetDimensions Chief Executive Officer Jay Shaw. "A partnership like this, designed to give clients top-quality, hosted solutions at reasonable prices, well, it's a great thing."

Shaw added, "360training's reach and expertise, coupled with EKP's rock-solid architecture, means clients get a solution that works; what they need when they need it. This is where the industry is heading and we're leading. This is good news for clients."

Recognized as one of the top-rated LMSs in overall customer satisfaction by Bersin & Associates, EKP is used by multinational companies such as HSBC, ABN AMRO, ING, Cathay Pacific and South Africa Telkom.

Andreas Roy, European business development manager for NetDimensions, had this to say, "X-Pulse is one of the most successful content development tool vendors in Germany. Their clients rely on "easy to implement and easy to maintain" software tools — just like EKP."

"With EKP extending the X-Pulse LearnCube Suite offering we are confident we can help a number of companies, from small and medium enterprises to large corporations, with quick and successful implementations of their e-learning strategies."

The partnership is a logical step for both parties. "With NetDimensions, we have an international partner for the entire range of client requirements, from the smallest departmental solutions to larger, company-wide enterprise solutions," said Matthias Schulz, Managing Director at X-Pulse.

NetDimensions CEO Jay Shaw says he is "delighted" to be working with X-Pulse, a partner who will make EKP more widely available to clients in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

NetDimensions is already well distributed in other parts of the European Union through partnerships with The Courseware Company in the Benelux and Slovakia-based Dupres Consulting in Eastern Europe. EKP is available to clients in the United Kingdom and Ireland through the NetDimensions London office, a subsidiary of Intellego Systems.

NetDimensions, which currently serves more than 300 clients in some 40 countries around the world, boasts a rapidly growing partner network throughout the Middle East, Africa, North America, South America and the major Asia Pacific markets.

"We have a great product. Our partners know what their clients need and how to deliver it to them. Together, we have a recipe for success," added Shaw.
