Northboro, MA, June 28, 2005 - IntraLearn Software Corporation,
the world’s leading supplier of Microsoft technology-based e-Learning software applications,
announced today an agreement with QAD, Inc. (NASDAQ: QADI), a leading provider of
enterprise applications for global manufacturers, to license IntraLearn XE. QAD
chose IntraLearn XE to help them address increased customer and employee demand
for a centralized e-Learning system that could measure and track user progress and
course completion.
In looking for an e-Learning system, it was important that the system not be a hosted
solution; be highly scalable and feature rich; and be able to manage content that
was self-created, imported, or repurposed from multiple sources. IntraLearn offered
that in a single, turnkey system that was less expensive than other systems.
“Many of our customers needed to be able to verify training, so we needed to provide
better tracking to support their needs,” said Jim Kirkley, QAD’s Chief Technology
Officer. “IntraLearn’s architecture supported multiple portals, which is important
to us since we plan to offer customers the option to have their own custom portals.”
“Our customers need to establish that users of our software are certified for compliance
purposes. They also ask us to customize our existing e-Learning courses so they
can provide more relevant training. Through IntraLearn, we gained the benefit of
providing custom learning environments to our customers, while keeping things simple
from a system management perspective. The flexibility of the IntraLearn system has
allowed us to attach a number of specialized reports to the system that provide
our executives with the real time status of internal and external learning initiatives.”
Evan Lenson, IntraLearn Software Corp. Vice President of Business Development, said,
“We are very pleased to have been chosen by QAD to give them the e-Learning infrastructure
that can manage the training needs of their employees, business partners, and customers.”
