Citadel Taps Into $2.5 Billion On-Line Training Market.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 1998--Citadel Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: CITN) will launch Citadel Campus, one of the first on-line training applications programs using streaming technology over the internet on November 1, 1998. According to Steven B. Solomon, CEO, it will bring interactive courses to the users' desktop at home, school or business for 90% less in cost than traditional stand-up training. Citadel Campus will be a division of Citadel Technology to focus on bringing the best-of-bread to Corporations, Education, Government, VARs and individuals.

Citadel Campus will provide interactive online courseware for the industry's top software applications from companies such as Microsoft(TM), Netscape(TM), Lotus(TM), Symantec(TM), Intuit(TM) and Adobe(TM). "Citadel's on-line training is not only cost effective, but is more efficient and effective than current methods of training," said Solomon. "By delivering multi-media over the internet, you are allowing corporations to take advantage of employees being trained at their desktops as well as being trained at home. This allows companies to fulfill the need to improve individual productivity on an employee basis, as well as keeping costs at a minimum. In most cases, greater than 90% reduction in cost over stand-up training. Yet, multi-media has an effective rate which is 80% greater than any other means of training because you can hear it, see it, participate in it. Citadel campus will be there any time the user needs it so that if they have any questions they can go back to it, versus stand-up training which once it is completed, the retention level is only 15% after 3 weeks. Multi-media allows users to have access 24 hours a day, seven days a week, anywhere they have a computer and internet connection," Solomon said.

Citadel Campus courses are retrievable on-demand and in "real-time" over the Internet. Courses can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as many times as desired. The courses contain fully synchronized, interactive multimedia content, including audio, video, graphic animation and text. In order to eliminate download time, Citadel Campus uses a proprietary streaming and compression technology for deploying multimedia. Course content is delivered without long download delay and with no special hardware demands or constraints. Citadel Campus pledges seamless playback without the delays and interruptions typically encountered when playing files over the internet.

Training courses offered include Microsoft Windows 98 and NT, Microsoft Office applications, Netscape Communicator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Lotus 1,2,3, Adobe PhotoShop, Symantec ACT! and programming courses on Visual Basic and HTML web design.
