Waltham & Dublin - November 4th, 2005 - WBT Systems, a leading provider of enterprise e-learning solutions, and Fusion Productions, a full service production and technology company serving the Association and Hospitality markets for the past 29 years, announce a partnership to deliver WBT’s award-winning e-learning technology to the Association community.

The partnership brings together two leading companies with complementary experience and expertise. For over 29 years, Fusion has worked with associations to address the needs of their organizations and their members with productions that impress, technologies that work, and strategies that win. Fusion's consultative approach to e-learning helps associations determine the right online educational products and services to make business practices more fruitful and to drive value. WBT’s TopClass e-Learning Suite™ offers a unique Learning Object architecture that enables associations to quickly create, edit, and deliver a member experience tailored to the needs of the individual. By reusing and reassembling these Learning Objects into courses and information of timely value to specific audiences, TopClass allows associations to quickly and inexpensively rebrand and disseminate courses for chapter and member organizations.

“The greatest challenge for associations today is to become their members’ ‘Lifelong Learning Partner.’ Change comes fast, and the associations that survive will become the single point of contact for professionals to learn about and master the competencies, latest techniques, and regulations required in their fields. With this in mind, TopClass is a welcome addition to our suite of offerings, because it satisfies all of those needs,” said Hugh K. Lee, President of Fusion Productions.

WBT Systems CEO, Declan Kelly, also welcomed the partnership. “We expect tremendous synergy from our partnership with Fusion. Our TopClass platform is well suited to the certification, collaboration and lifelong learning needs of the association community. It is already a significant market for WBT with existing clients such as the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), LOMA (leading association for the global insurance and financial services industry), IMKO (leading European professional association body) and the American Cancer Society (ACS).”
