The New ToolBook 10.5: Endurance. Experience. Excellence.

The industry’s most comprehensive solution for fast, easy content authoring

Over the last 20 years, technology has transformed – and much of what we had in 1990 has long since evaporated.

Meanwhile, ToolBook has evolved. And today, it’s better than ever.

SumTotal is pleased to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ToolBook, our revolutionary content authoring product – and to announce the arrival of our latest version, built to serve the needs of today’s changing technology and industry demands.
