Butler Group Report Identifies Technology and Vision Strength of WBT Systems

Dublin, Ireland - August 14th, 2003 - WBT Systems, a global leader in Enterprise e-Learning Solutions, today announced the publication of a new report on their leading e-Learning Suite, TopClass, by The Butler Group, the premier provider of Information Technology Research. The report was written by John Holden, a Research Analyst at the Butler Group and includes an in-depth analysis of the TopClass e-Learning Suite. The report also discusses WBT Systems' focus on training solutions for companies operating in highly regulated industries and how they enable rapid return on investment (ROI) for their customers.

"WBT Systems is at the forefront of development thinking on the expanding requirements for compliance with regulations that are coming to the fore in most industry sectors. Butler Group believes that WBT Systems has the technology and the vision to achieve continued success," said John Holden, Research Analyst, Butler Group. "WBT Systems’ approach is to help a customer achieve early ROI and acceptance of TopClass e-Learning before extending its use to further areas. Butler Group believes that this approach, together with its focus on compliance functionality, will ensure that the company will continue to expand its share of this growing market."

Over the past year, WBT Systems has been developing a strong vertical strategy to deliver customised solutions to companies in highly regulated industries. These companies now have a robust, defensible, audit-ready compliance system, leading to reduced costs, improved efficiency and unprecedented reporting on the compliance readiness of the organisation. In addition to delivering centralised management and reporting, streamlined content conversion, and full audit trails, the solution assists in reducing corporate risk by driving understanding of risk management processes and technologies throughout the organisation.

Holden continues, "TopClass incorporates strong integrated technology with a comprehensive range of features. It has demonstrated its robust scalability with global customers. We believe that any organisation that is considering the acquisition of an e-Learning system should closely examine what TopClass e-Learning has to offer."

"We are delighted to have been recognised by the Butler Group and this reflects our continued commitment to thought leadership in the e-Learning space," commented Declan Kelly, CEO, WBT Systems. "We believe our market leadership is attributable to our vertical solutions focus, enabling us to deliver robust, defensible, audit-ready compliance solutions for companies in highly regulated industries."
