WBT Systems ramps up channel acquisition in Middle East

Dublin, Ireland - December 2nd, 2003 - WBT Systems, a global leader in Enterprise e-Learning solutions, today announced the appointment of Webcentric as a TopClass reseller in Saudi Arabia. The move offers WBT a significant foothold in the Arabian Gulf and will enable WebCentric to offer the TopClass award-winning solution suite to its wide range of customers.

Saudi Arabia has recently experienced a surge of interest in e-Learning with many companies finding it difficult to keep their employees up to date given the size of the region and the remoteness of learners. The country is also host to a number of global companies who need to ensure the consistency and quality of learning. WebCentric considered a number of options before settling on WBT. "We are delighted to partner with WBT who have a strong EMEA presence and are also a global leader in the Learning Management System (LMS) sector. We are also delighted to be able to offer an established and innovative product such as TopClass as a core component of our e-Learning offering" said Thamir Abdullaf, WebCentric's President.

"This alliance with WebCentric is an important move for WBT" said Louella Morton, Vice President of Global Strategic Alliances. "IT spending in Saudi Arabia is predicted to grow significantly and the region has not suffered the downturn experienced in other parts of the world. We are confident that working together WBT and WebCentric will make a significant impact in growing the e-Learning market in the region".
