Formed in March 2004 by the merger of industry pioneers Docent and Click2learn, SumTotal Systems is uniquely focused on helping organizations manage, motivate, develop and maintain their internal and external workforce to solve real-world business problems and produce significant bottom-line results.

In October 2005, we acquired Pathlore, increasing our reach of customers, particularly into state/local government and healthcare. In November 2006, we acquired MindSolve Technologies, a privately-owned company, founded and still guided by the same team that created their original software in 1994. MindSolve has been a strong provider of innovative employee performance management software and services, including the first web-based, drag-and-drop appraisal system.

With more than 17 million users worldwide, SumTotal has helped strengthen performance and profits for more than 1,500 of the world’s best-known companies and government agencies including Accenture, Aetna, Citigroup, DaimlerChrysler, Delta Air Lines, Ernst & Young, Harley-Davidson, Microsoft, Novartis, PNC Bank, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Bancorp, United Airlines, Vodafone, Wachovia and Wyeth.
