(2) To reduce equipment and associated costs by switching to a less-expensive system.

"Executives and other corporate decision makers continue to be forced to sort through many options -- and a lot of contradicting claims -- when they begin to roll-out e-learning solutions," said Kevin Oakes, chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Click2learn. "Founded 18 years ago, Click2learn today has the longest tenure, and the largest customer base, in the entire e-learning industry. We're in a unique position to share our customer's successes, as well as the knowledge we've gained from years of research and development, customer feedback and successful implementations." "The failure of the industry to live up to the lofty projections of the late 90's has dampened the enthusiasm for some about the potential of the industry," Oakes continued. "That's a big oversight in our opinion. We have several clients who are using e-learning today to reshape their business, open new revenue streams and leverage their internal knowledge for a competitive advantage in the marketplace. E-learning is helping these companies recognize that the ability to use technology to quickly share knowledge is as `mission critical' to their business as almost any other enterprise application. Our goal with this new Webinar series is not to merely have a veiled sales pitch of our products, but to help companies embarking on new learning initiatives by sharing our knowledge, lessons, learned, and highlighting real customer successes and satisfaction." Click2learn's new Webinar series is aimed at a diverse audience, from those just beginning to research e-learning to organizations who are ready to make e-learning buying decisions. The series will run from late June through early September, with each of the five Webinars available for a two-week period.
