LONG ISLAND, N.Y., Sept. 26, 2000 - Vuepoint, a comprehensive e-learning company with a business-savvy approach, unveils enterprise-wide Vuepoint Learning System (VLS) 2.0 to create smarter organizations by incorporating dynamic knowledge management into e-learning. VLS 2.0 allows the integration of proprietary documents into real-time online classrooms or self-paced settings so that instructors can easily share documents during training or a group can collaboratively edit and update documents.

Vuepoint has helped us deliver powerful results by providing the ability to quickly publish content to our global audience of over 15,000 employees," said Bill Knapp, Senior Manager, Global Virtual Learning Infrastructure. On a real-time basis, we're able to funnel our entire organization's up-to-the minute insight and knowledge into our training sessions as well as update proprietary content for programs such as e-business. It's become a significant competitive advantage."

A one-stop shop for creating smarter organizations, Vuepoint's enterprise-wide software and professional services aid in speed-to-market advantages, improved productivity, employee retention, and lower costs. Our vision for e-learning is not just about creating intelligent organizations," said Ara Ohanian, CEO of Vuepoint. E-learning will quickly become known as the key to making a company effective and competitive."

Creating e-learning courses is time consuming. According to the American Society of Training and Development, developing one hour of electronic content can take approximately 200 to 500 hours. Vuepoint shrinks development hours down to 40, dramatically beating the industry average. It achieves this by providing a zero-programming authoring environment tied to a back-end database that enables a higher level of interactivity as well as automated real-time tracking. A new comment feature in VLS 2.0 makes content creation even faster by giving course designers working in different countries and time zones the ability to collaborate easily and conveniently, saving time and money by eliminating the need for meetings and travel.

Vuepoint's learning management capability also enables companies to schedule classroom training, conduct registration, streamline assessments using the online system and save hundreds of hours of administrative busywork.
