WBT Systems ramps up channel acquisition in Southern Europe

Dublin - June 15th, 2005 - WBT Systems, a global leader in Enterprise e-Learning solutions, today announced the appointment of Altia Consultores as a WBT partner in Spain. Altia will provide full customisation, implementation and support services in conjunction with WBT Systems' Enterprise Solutions Division (ESD). The move offers WBT a significant foothold in the Spanish market and will enable Altia to offer WBT’s award-winning solution suite to its wide range of customers.

Altia is a leading systems integrator offering tailor-made consulting and development solutions. It was founded in 1994 and today has offices throughout Spain. Altia’s main focus is public sector and banking. In terms of e-Learning adoption, Spain has traditionally lagged behind other countries but this is forecast to grow in the coming years. It is estimated that today, 30% of training interventions are e-learning based actions and in three years this percentage will increase significantly. Altia believes there is tremendous potential for the company in the e-Learning sector.
