Human Resources: GeoLearning Named to Inc. 500/5000 List of Fastest-Growing Businesses for 5th Consecutive Year

WEST DES MOINES, IOWA, August 21, 2008 -- GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of Managed Learning Services and on-demand learning and performance platforms, announced today that it has been named to Inc. magazine's list of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in America. GeoLearning was ranked #4,102 on the 2008 Inc. 5000 list with a sales growth rate of 69% over the past three years.

Complete information on this year's Inc. 5,000, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The list features a profile for each company, almost all of them written as a result of Inc. interviews with management. In addition, the list is searchable according to numerous criteria, including industry, city, state, region and year founded.

The Inc. 5000 is an extension of Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 500 list and catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy. GeoLearning is a three-time Inc. 500 winner (2004 through 2006) and was named to the first ever Inc. 5000 list in 2007.

"Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism," said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. "The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth."

"It is a great honor to be recognized by Inc. for our continued growth and financial stability for the fifth consecutive year," said Frank Russell, president and CEO of GeoLearning. "It is a unique achievement in our industry made possible by committed employees, world-class customers and a distinctive business model that has proven to be successful."

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