Human Resources: American Management Association Delivers Learning with SumTotal's ''ResultsOnDemand''

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 26, 2007--SumTotal(R)
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUMT), a global provider of talent and learning
management solutions, has signed a contract with American Management
Association(R) (AMA) to provide AMA with ResultsOnDemand(R) --
Learning, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model that will give AMA
customers access to a hosted version of SumTotal's award-winning
talent management suite, further expanding its successful Blended
Learning initiative.

"This system gives us a substantially enhanced ability to manage
and guide customers through an effective learning experience," said
Nicholas Igneri Director of Learning technologies at American
Management Association. "This system will provide AMA a mechanism to
deliver a wide variety of content to our customers so we are sure new
skills and behaviors are applied back on the job.

Business professionals take AMA instructor-led seminars to learn
about business issues and topics that range from project management
and strategic thinking to marketing and time management. In order to
prepare for and continue with their interactive, live learning
experience, AMA purchased SumTotal's software to wrap web-based
learning tools around the traditional instructor-led model AMA has
followed. "In essence, we're blending instructor and online learning
to give our customers choice, feedback and more resources," said
Igneri.

AMA now takes learning beyond the classroom by providing online
prep materials, custom online content, assessments, eLearning courses
and virtual sessions. According to AMA, their approach allows
organizations and individual learners to measure the effectiveness of
their training programs -- helping to better demonstrate the return on
an investment. AMA plans to further expand its web offerings in 2008
by launching eCoaching, scenario-based video content and simulations.

"We believe AMA offers an excellent example of providing an
enriching and consistent learning environment to a company's
customers," said Don Fowler, chief executive officer of SumTotal.
"Having a rich selection of content and knowledge adds additional
value to the solutions already provided, making the AMA a preferred
resource."
