Perago Manages Mobile Learning With SumTotal’s “ResultsOnDemand”

Mountain View, Calif. – June 13, 2007 – Durham, N.C.-based Perago Learning Solutions, Inc. has selected SumTotal ® Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUMT), a global provider of talent and learning management solutions, to deliver sales education via mobile devices to Perago’s partners and staff. To accomplish this, Perago has tapped ResultsOnDemand TM, which is SumTotal’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) model for analyzing performance and delivering learning.

“Perago provides custom learning content as well as integration and consulting services that help our clients extend the reach of their learning offerings,” said Tristan L. Evans, president of Perago Learning Solutions. “With ResultsOnDemand, we can now manage a broad range of learning offerings, even those delivered via hand-held devices in one integrated system. We deliver sales courses and product information that teach our partners and employees the best ways to promote and support our products and services. I guess you could say we’re finally practicing what we’ve been preaching.”

For its internal and partner learning, Perago relies on a mobile platform that links to ResultsOnDemand in order to synchronize the delivery and tracking of sales education. Using ResultsOnDemand, Evans says he can deliver learning exclusively to staff or serve up content tailored to partners or customers.

“SumTotal has been very forward-thinking about the many possible modes of learning delivery, which gives us the agility to deliver learning when and how and to whom we want,” added Evans. “The effort SumTotal has put into listening to its customers and the many ways those customers deliver learning activities to their staff has resulted in a product with an integration tool which made it easy for us to set up and synchronize ResultsOnDemand with our mobile learning platform. As a small shop, we don’t want our employees to have to access multiple platforms to find learning, take courses and record the results.”

“Perago is using ResultsOnDemand in a unique way, which speaks to its ingenuity as well as the flexibility of our platform,” said Jon Ciampi, vice president of marketing for SumTotal. “We believe it’s important to develop our technology to support the impromptu way many employees learn to do their jobs, including the use of expertise location, podcasts, blogs, simulation and gaming. Developing ResultsOnDemand to support the way our customers want to learn epitomizes learning on-demand.”

Ciampi added, “ResultsOnDemand also offers our customers hassle-free upgrades, support and maintenance.”

According to Ciampi, SumTotal’s ResultsOnDemand provides learning and talent management at a price that small- and medium-sized businesses can afford. Download the ResultsOnDemand Information Kit at http://www.sumtotalsystems.com/rod.html.
