Human Resources: In China, SumTotal Deploys Talent Management System for Novo Nordisk

    BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 2007--SumTotal(R) Systems, Inc.
(NASDAQ:SUMT) announced that Novo Nordisk has purchased licenses for
SumTotal's Enterprise Suite(TM), a software platform for managing
talent as well as analyzing, storing and delivering learning, to bring
a comprehensive and consistent workplace education and development
program to its China-based employees.

    The suite includes TotalLMS(TM), a learning management system
(LMS) that will deliver, track and report on learning and development
for the healthcare company's China division, and TotalAccess(TM),
which connects employees to learning via laptops, kiosks and hand-held
devices. Along with the suite, Novo Nordisk bought licenses for
SumTotal's ToolBook(TM) Instructor, software for creating, among other
things, web-based training and software application simulations.

    Denmark-headquartered Novo Nordisk started its China operations in
1994. After years of development, it has over 1,000 employees in
China. The company will use SumTotal's software to deliver new-hire
training for its growing roster of employees in China. The
Denmark-based healthcare company will also provide its China-based
employees with instruction on compliance codes as well as product
training for its sales team.

    "We believe the SumTotal system will not only standardize our
training but also keep pace with the demand for an ever-increasing
need for new-hire and product-related education," said Wang Shuhong,
director, Human Resources and Business Exchange, Novo Nordisk China.
"There is still considerable work to do before this project is
completed. But once accomplished, we feel the platform will help us
educate our workforce and continually assess how well our staff is
performing."

    "Today's announcement follows other successful initiatives we've
completed in Asia, including work for the Singapore Prison Service and
Liaoning Mobile, a subsidiary of China Mobile," said Alex Raymond,
vice president, Asia-Pacific, for SumTotal. "We believe we're making
progress with our strategic efforts to expand our international
business into new markets."
