BroadVision Training Organization Automates Registration

and Enrollment, Offers Personalized Classes

Targeted Toward Student Profiles

BroadVision(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:BVSN), a leading worldwide supplier of personalized e-business applications, announced that the company is using BroadVision One-To-One(TM) applications to launch a more personalized virtual training campus, BroadVision University (BVU). Using all aspects of the One-To-One products, the virtual campus trains BroadVision employees, customers and partners as well as showcases BroadVision technology including rules-based personalization, content management and online transactions.

"We are pleased to announce the new virtual campus that is changing the way BroadVision employees, customers and partners select, purchase, attend and record their BroadVision training classes," said Janine Pierce, vice president of BroadVision University. "It is our goal to create an automated, self-service process to ensure our customers quality service and provide a training experience that is valuable to their individual needs."

BroadVision University is a growing part of the BroadVision Worldwide Professional Service Organization (WPSO), which is tasked with supporting the company's customers for the long-term, working with customers to enhance implementations over time, train the customers' resources to use the solution and ensure that the company's system integration partners execute effectively. For example, BVU will be launching the Authorized BroadVision Implementor Program, a role-based curriculum featuring various "on the job" training opportunities for successful graduates. If a prospective student is a system administrator, a business manager, or a component developer, there is a specific curriculum path designed to teach just what the student will need to know and do in these roles. BVU has plans to support more than 15 different roles related to implementing or supporting BroadVision solutions by the end of this year.

Classes are now available in the traditional instructor-led training format as well as via Webcasts and demonstrations. BVU's catalog of courses in both mediums has increased tenfold in the last year. To date, BVU has already delivered more than 34,000 days of training for partners and customers and the organization is on pace to deliver more than 70,000 training days before year-end. This is an enormous increase over BVU's 5,000 training days in fiscal year 1999. To date, more than 9,000 System Integration partners have graduated from BVU -- the largest number of trained implementers for any e-business solution provider in the marketplace today.

What's New

The new virtual campus has the following features and functionalities:

-- Role-Based Curriculum: By completing a profile, students can request a
curriculum path that is tailored toward individual goals.

-- Personalized Training Site: Once registered, a student can gain access to
valuable training information based on profile and specifications.

-- Enhanced Registration and Online Transactions: Students will not only be
able to select courses online, but the entire registration and payment
transaction is handled online. Students will also be able to complete
transactions with purchase orders, checks and cost center references.

-- Real-Time Pricing: Based on organization profiling, discounts are
automatically determined and generated in the system. There is no need for
manual calculations; pricing is applied on the spot.

-- Simplified Access to Courses: Students have access to a sophisticated search
engine, allowing them to search for the perfect course based on a host of
parameters such as date, location, course name or track type.

-- Targeted News and Information: The targeted content will be developed with
specific users in mind. If the student is a customer or BroadVision employee,
the news and information will reflect the organization and particular role.

By combining these functions, BVU offers a potent set of programs and resources for the company's customers and partners during implementation and well beyond. A truly personalized site, the campus seeks to understand the user as a unique individual with unique interests and needs.

"As a fast-growing global company, we realized early on the strength of the Internet in providing BroadVision students with the very best online training opportunities available," said Nancy Mills, executive vice president and general manager of worldwide professional services, BroadVision, Inc. "We are pleased to have advanced our online offerings and will continue to develop and nurture a learning curriculum that can occur anytime, anyplace."
