WEST DES MOINES, IOWA, May 14, 2008 -- GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of Managed Learning Services and hosted learning and performance platforms, announced today that its on-demand GeoMaestro 5 Series learning and performance management platform has been named a finalist in the "Best New Product or Service—Computer Software" category of the 2008 American Business Awards.

Hailed as "the business world's own Oscars" (New York Post, April 27, 2005), The American Business Awards are the only national, all-encompassing awards program honoring great performances in business.

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word "crowned," winners will be announced during the annual gala on Thursday, June 12 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. More than 600 executives from across the United States are expected to attend. The ceremonies will be broadcast on radio nationwide by the Business TalkRadio Network and hosted by Liz Claman of FOX Business Network.

GeoLearning's Software as a Service model means its GeoMaestro learning and performance management platform is delivered entirely over the Internet. The on-demand 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.

"ABA entries grew more than 30% this year, so being named a Finalist is more of an accomplishment than ever before," said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards. "It means that independent business executives have agreed that the nominee is worthy of national recognition. We congratulate all of the Finalists on their achievement and wish them well in the competition."
