PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2003

The Abreon Group, a leader in performance consulting and support, has announced the availability of a Windows XP eLearning Tool that enables end users to quickly understand the differences between Windows XP and their current operating system and take advantage of the new functionality to work smarter and more effectively. The easy to use, eLearning Tool is available as a stand alone license or as part of a more comprehensive XP Migration Solution.

"Organizations migrating from Windows 97, Windows 2000 or NT to Windows XP want their end-users to become productive and efficient with the new operating system as quickly and cost-effectively as possible," says Michael Kiyosaki, VP, Marketing and Partner Development, The Abreon Group. "The XP Migration Solution is an easy and affordable turnkey solution that leverages planning, communication, education and support to increase user performance and productivity."

The comprehensive four-step XP Migration Solution includes:

1. Consulting Services: a one-day engagement to customize the

solution

2. Change Communication: a program to promote user adoption and

acceptance

3. Education: education materials including a self-paced XP

eLearning tool, reference cards, desktop icon

4. Performance Support: help desk support for XP

The Abreon Group's XP Migration Solution accelerates the benefits of migration to your end-users and your organization:

-- Increased productivity of business analysts and techs, so they

can focus on the deployment and not on answering questions

-- A simple scalable solution that can be deployed as part of the

new desktop image

-- Increased end user buy-in and elimination of resistance

-- Decreased costs through increased utilization and satisfaction

-- Support when and where they need it: at their desktops

The new XP Migration Solution has recently been implemented at Westinghouse Electric Company.

"Their design and delivery approach was elegantly simple and cost effective. Abreon's XP Migration Solution was right on target."
