Business/Technology Editors

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2000

Caliber Learning Network (NASDAQ:CLBR), premier provider of corporate e-Knowledge solutions, and Docent, Inc. today announce a partnership to combine Caliber's flexible and scalable e-Knowledge platform with Docent's award-winning eLearning management system. The pairing will provide enterprises with a turnkey e-Knowledge solution designed to deliver measurable, bottom-line corporate training results.

Under the terms of the alliance, Docent(TM) Enterprise 4.5, an Internet-based knowledge exchange platform, will be teamed with Caliber's WebCORE e-knowledge platform. The joint corporate training solution will be hosted, run and supported from Caliber's data center and be accessible via Web browsers. Both companies will promote and sell the joint solution through each other's direct sales teams and channels.

"Caliber's alliance with Docent takes e-Knowledge to an entirely different level and provides a truly complete and convenient solution that is based on best-in-breed technology and eLearning methodology," said Caliber CEO and president Chris Nguyen. "With Docent's participation in our Global e-Knowledge Consortium, client companies can now combine the highest impact broadband Internet technology for their education with the best available tool to measure effectiveness of that training. In addition, since the applications are hosted, the usual integration cost burden on client IT departments is eliminated," Nguyen noted.

Docent is a recognized leader in eLearning management solutions that help to deliver business results. The company's Docent Enterprise product was rated the leading learning management system among seven competitors in PC Week (now eWeek) magazine's recent "Learning Management Shoot-Out." Docent Enterprise is the first e-learning solution built explicitly for the Web, and the first to tie learning objectives to business objectives and deliver measurable learning across organizations. Employee productivity can be maximized with the Docent Enterprise's student assessment and approval cycles, as well as the ability to match eLearning with job performance.

"Bottom line, Docent Enterprise empowers managers with substantial information so that they know precisely who is taking what WebCORE courses, where and when, and whether it is having the desired impact both for the individual and for the enterprise," said Docent chairman, president and CEO Dave Ellett. "Just-in-time, just enough learning is a growing business need and we believe that this joint, best-in-class eLearning platform is one of the best ways to ensure that enterprises, employees and professional communities will gain from it and produce an acceptable return on investment."
