Human Resources: Carmeuse North America Selects GeoLearning's

WEST DES MOINES, IOWA, April 20, 2007 -- GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of Managed Learning Services and hosted learning and performance platforms, announced today that Carmeuse North America, the largest producer of high-quality limestone products and lime-related technology, has deployed the GeoExpress™ Learning Management Suite (LMS) to manage enterprise learning and development for 1,300 employees.

"Carmeuse North America deployed the GeoExpress platform in order to automate the administrative aspects of training and to quickly and efficiently report data," said Becky Vinton, Organization Development & Staffing Manager for Carmeuse. "The LMS will open Carmeuse's training to the entire staff, allowing each employee to establish a baseline knowledge for their position, resulting in more efficient operations. We chose GeoLearning's LMS as a result of the intuitiveness of the administration role in the system, the ease of use from the learner's perspective, and the reasonable investment for the system's functionality."

Carmeuse's GeoExpress implementation leverages several of the platform's configurable features, including GeoLearning's Dynamic Reporting Engine to transform raw LMS data into actionable analysis and meaningful measurements; the MyPlan Electronic Individual Development Tool to track and manage individual development plans; and the Web-based Class & Event Scheduler to manage traditional and Web-based instructor-led training.

GeoLearning will also provide Internet hosting, security and maintenance services, and Help Desk support for Carmeuse administrators and employees as part of the managed learning services contract.

GeoLearning's award-winning Software as a Service (SaaS) model means the GeoExpress platform is delivered entirely over the Internet, eliminating all the headaches, hassles and risks associated with traditional hardware and software implementations. The Internet-hosted learning management platform enables organizations to capture, create, manage and share knowledge to improve workforce productivity, accelerate critical business processes, and drive organizational performance. The system centralizes and automates the entire learning management process, making the administration of enterprise learning and development both effective and efficient.
