In China, SumTotal Deploys Talent Management System for Novo Nordisk

Beijing – June 12, 2007 – SumTotal® Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUMT) announced that Novo Nordisk has purchased licenses for SumTotal’s Enterprise Suite™, a software platform for managing talent as well as analyzing, storing and delivering learning, to bring a comprehensive and consistent workplace education and development program to its China-based employees.

The suite includes TotalLMS™, a learning management system (LMS) that will deliver, track and report on learning and development for the healthcare company’s China division, and TotalAccess™, which connects employees to learning via laptops, kiosks and hand-held devices. Along with the suite, Novo Nordisk bought licenses for SumTotal’s ToolBook™ Instructor, software for creating, among other things, web-based training and software application simulations.

Denmark-headquartered Novo Nordisk started its China operations in 1994. After years of development, it has over 1,000 employees in China. The company will use SumTotal’s software to deliver new-hire training for its growing roster of employees in China. The Denmark-based healthcare company will also provide its China-based employees with instruction on compliance codes as well as product training for its sales team.

“We believe the SumTotal system will not only standardize our training but also keep pace with the demand for an ever-increasing need for new-hire and product-related education,” said Wang Shuhong, director, Human Resources and Business Exchange, Novo Nordisk China. “There is still considerable work to do before this project is completed. But once accomplished, we feel the platform will help us educate our workforce and continually assess how well our staff is performing.”

“Today’s announcement follows other successful initiatives we’ve completed in Asia, including work for the Singapore Prison Service and Liaoning Mobile, a subsidiary of China Mobile,” said Alex Raymond, vice president, Asia-Pacific, for SumTotal. “We believe we’re making progress with our strategic efforts to expand our international business into new markets.”
