SumTotal Systems, the industry’s largest provider of learning and business performance technologies, services and processes, today announced that its much-anticipated new platform, the SumTotal Enterprise Suite 7.0, will headline the company’s appearance at this year’s LEARNTEC 2005, the 13th annual conference and trade fair for educational and information technology, held at the Kongresszentrum in Karlsruhe, Germany from February 15 - 18.
At the SumTotal stand (#115), conference attendees can get an in-depth look at the SumTotal Enterprise Suite 7.0, the first major product release for the company following its formation by the merger of Docent and Click2learn in March 2004. The hallmark of SumTotal 7.0 is its unmatched flexibility and adaptability. SumTotal 7.0 enables organisations to “mould” the platform to the specific characteristics of their businesses. It dynamically adapts to an organisation’s changing needs, whether it’s business processes, terminology and workflow, evolving organisational structures, or the personalised learning, certification and skills development needs of the individual employee.
SumTotal 7.0 offers radically easier administration of learning activities, user organisations, reporting and compliance, as well as unprecedented interoperability and integration with other technology applications and infrastructures - all without the need for programming and customization.
“After months of strategy and planning, hard work from our product management and R & D teams, and extensive feedback from customers, partners and analysts, we are proud to bring to market what many have told us is this industry’s most groundbreaking solution to-date,” said R. Andrew Eckert, SumTotal CEO. “SumTotal 7.0 is the culmination of the product vision we established when our two companies merged earlier this year. We are delighted to show attendees at this year’s LEARNTEC conference one of the most powerful tools they can deploy to accelerate readiness, business performance and profits in their organisations.”
SumTotal also will be showcasing ToolBook, its award-winning authoring solution for creating the complex simulations and interactive learning content that have proven to be a critical success factor in any organisational learning initiative. Using ToolBook’s powerful features, companies can create professional, standards-based simulations, tutorials, assessments, courseware and other interactive learning content without in-depth programming skills. Based on AICC and SCORM standards, ToolBook also makes it easy to launch and track ToolBook content through a standards-compliant learning management system (LMS).
Joining SumTotal Systems at its stand to help further demonstrate the features and functionalities of SumTotal 7.0 will be partners Hewlett-Packard GmbH and Media Freilingen.
