Human Resources: GeoLearning Named "Top Growth Company" by the Technology Association of Iowa

WEST DES MOINES, IOWA, March 8, 2007 -- GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of Managed Learning Services and hosted learning and performance platforms, was named "Top Growth Company of the Year" by the Technology Association of Iowa (TAI) at the 2007 Prometheus Awards & Technology Summit held March 7 in Des Moines, Iowa. GeoLearning was named "Technology Company of the Year" at the 2006 awards.

GeoLearning was chosen as the Iowa technology company that has best demonstrated and managed solid business growth by adding more than 150 new customers and growing from 85 employees to 200 employees over the past three years. Other factors that contributed to GeoLearning being named Top Growth Company of the Year included excellence in research and development, strong product and channel growth, innovation within its product lines and target markets, solid strategic planning, profitability, and a history of financial growth and success.

"GeoLearning's business model has always been 100% on-demand Software as a Service," said Frank Russell, president and CEO of GeoLearning. "It's a scalable, flexible business model that has enabled our company to strategically manage growth with solid results. We're proud to be recognized for our growth at a time when Software as a Service is really making its mark in the technology industry."

GeoLearning's technology products and services are used by corporations, government agencies and non-profit organizations to manage human capital development. Its award-winning Software as a Service model means the GeoLearning platform is delivered entirely over the Internet, eliminating all the headaches, hassles and risks associated with traditional hardware and software implementations. The company's Internet-hosted Learning Management System (LMS) 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—including content development, training delivery, testing and assessment, performance management, progress tracking and learning measurement—making the administration of enterprise learning and development both effective and efficient.

"The Prometheus Awards were created to celebrate the outstanding contributions that innovative individuals and technology companies make each year," said Leann Jacobson, president of TAI. "These contributions move the technology industry forward, improve the quality of life in communities throughout Iowa, and strengthen Iowa's economy."
