EDUTECH to sell, implement and support Plateau's Enterprise Learning Solutions

"Plateau continues to extend our global reach through strategic partnerships with industry leading learning and performance management resellers," said Paul Sparta, chairman and CEO of Plateau Systems. "EDUTECH has proven its ability to successfully sell and deploy advanced technology solutions to the education sector. The joint partnership of Plateau and EDUTECH will expand the growth of learning and workforce performance solutions to rapidly growing commercial and public sector organizations in the region."

In 2004, the Middle East was the second fastest growing region in the world, and India also is experiencing high GDP growth. Both private and public sector organizations are realizing the need for learning and performance management solutions. New employees must be trained quickly, existing employees must be brought up to speed on new products and operating procedures, leaders must be identified and developed for promotion, and organizational readiness must be evaluated and continuously improved. Plateau's solutions enable these activities with a highly scaleable, robust solution that can be rapidly deployed to improve operational performance.

"Demand for learning solutions within the educational sector has been strong in the Middle East for several years," said ASF Karim, Managing Director of EDUTECH. "We are now seeing similar demand within the commercial sector, where organizations are looking for ways to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Plateau's solutions are fulfilling the needs of some of the largest, most successful companies in the world. We are excited about bringing a state-of-the-art technology to the corporate world in the Middle East and India through this partnership."

EDUTECH's sales, implementation and support personnel have undergone extensive training on Plateau's solutions at the company's headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. It will begin selling, implementing and supporting Plateau's solutions in the Middle East immediately.
