Human Resources: Aruba Networks Calls on SumTotal to Extend Training to Customers and Partners

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 29, 2006--SumTotal(R)
Systems (Nasdaq: SUMT), the largest provider of talent and learning
solutions, announced that Aruba Networks - the Mobile Edge Company -
will tap SumTotal's TotalLMS to facilitate product and technology
training for Aruba's end-customers and partners. Sunnyvale,
Calif.-based Aruba provides products for building mobility solutions
and wireless local area networks (WLANs) for enterprises.

    Aruba plans to offer training to its thousands of end-customers
and channel partners around the world by using SumTotal's TotalLMS(TM)
7.2, which is enterprise software for delivering training and
analyzing talent. With TotalLMS, Aruba's end-customers and partners
will be able to access online training on how to install, configure
and manage the Sunnyvale-based company's wares. TotalLMS can also be
used to deliver product training prior to the launch of new releases.
In addition, Aruba's channel partners will be able to receive sales
training.

    "We believe TotalLMS will give our customers a way to purchase
training 'on the fly,' so they can learn at any time how our products
address issues like mobility, security and convergence," said Chris
Mullendore, knowledge manager for Aruba Networks. "With TotalLMS, we
feel our end-customers and partners will be able to self-register,
administer, manage and monitor their Aruba training. We feel they will
also be able to gain access at anytime to information and tools that
will help them learn more about Aruba's products, as well as wireless
technology in general."

    According to Mullendore, TotalLMS also offers Aruba a way to see
when a customer has taken training and what products customers have
learned about. As Aruba introduces new products and associated
training offerings, the learning platform will identify relevant
topics on which the customer has already been trained and purge
duplicative training.

    Aruba will also use SumTotal's authoring tool, ToolBook(TM) to
re-design much of its curriculum and move the Sunnyvale-based company
to an e-learning environment. Aruba says it chose ToolBook because of
"the product's reputation as an industry leader for e-learning
creation, as well as its tight integration with TotalLMS."

    "ToolBook and TotalLMS have a more advanced integration than other
similar products," opined Mullendore. "With content created in
ToolBook and run on TotalLMS, an LMS administrator can provide an
easier-to-use, yet more helpful interface than what people often find
in a standard online course."

    "For example, when people use our LMS to launch online courses
created with ToolBook, they can embed an ask-the-expert feature that
automatically pops up to give the user help if she or he isn't doing
well in a course," said Brad Crain, SumTotal's vice president of
ToolBook. "Aruba is the latest in a string of thousands of
corporations that have seen the power of ToolBook for creating
web-based training, simulations and interactive e-learning content."
