Toyota, 3Com, The Hartford, Deloitte Consulting, A.T. Kearney and GlaxoSmithKline Discussed Best Practices and Tuned into Vuepoint's and Brandon Hall's Thoughts on the Future

LONG ISLAND, N.Y., June 26, 2001 - Vuepoint, a business-savvy e-learning company providing a single platform for learning content management and learning management systems, reports key highlights today from Vuepoint E-Learning Summit 2001, facilitated by e-learning expert Brandon Hall and held last week in New York City. Global leaders Toyota, 3Com, The Hartford, Fisher Scientific, Deloitte Consulting, A.T. Kearney, GlaxoSmithKline and Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation shared successes and best practices, and Vuepoint and Brandon Hall, Ph.D., CEO and lead researcher of Brandon-Hall.com, facilitated discussions about hot e-learning topics.

"It was extremely beneficial to learn about best practices in other e-learning organizations and to discuss timely issues and trends with high-level industry peers," said Doug Willner, Director of Leadership and Development at GlaxoSmithKline.

Prior to the summit, Vuepoint interactively interviewed users via its Web site. Through an online comment feature, they received feedback and questions from Dr. Hall, and data gleaned from these interviews was transformed into customer case studies that served as the main focus of the summit's presentations. Dr. Hall also addressed attendees with comments about his view on the evolution of e-learning and compared it to the evolution of industries in supply chain management and customer relationship management in which different areas of the organization became streamlined by a single software platform such as SAP and Oracle. Dr. Hall stated that areas such as e-learning, knowledge management and human resources could take a similar path by converging into a single industry. Vuepoint added that marketing would also come into the fold as it relates to the education of customers and channel partners.
