Human Resources: Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics Recruits SumTotal to Curb Drug Abuse

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 22, 2006--SumTotal(R)
Systems (Nasdaq: SUMT), the largest provider of talent and learning
solutions, announced that the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs (OBNDD) has chosen SumTotal's software to build an
online curriculum to stem the abuse of drugs, specifically
methamphetamines. OBNDD will develop and deliver web-based courses
with SumTotal's learning and content management systems. SumTotal's
TotalLMS(TM) and TotalLCMS(TM) are part of a suite of software
products that deliver, analyze and track training over the Internet.

    For law enforcement officers, judges and medical professionals,
OBNDD will deliver accredited training to meet requirements for
continuing education and certifications. For example, OBNDD's
Diversion Division provides statewide training programs for
professionals who work with controlled substances. Typically, these
sessions advise doctors and pharmacists about scams, new laws and
general methods to combat crimes. OBNDD is also considering an option
to make drug training available via TotalLMS to a potential audience
of more than 400,000 students and teachers across Oklahoma.

    "A powerful weapon in fighting the illegal use of drugs is, of
course, education," said Don Vogt, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs. "We believe SumTotal's learning and content
management systems are excellent products, which are perfectly suited
to our goal of creating and delivering training for curtailing drug
abuse, especially methamphetamine."

    In Oklahoma, as in many states, crystal methamphetamine is
produced by clandestine laboratories. In the early 1990s, a new,
easy-to-follow recipe for illegally producing methamphetamine surfaced
across Oklahoma. According to OBNDD, the drug recipe has caused the
illegal production of methamphetamine in Oklahoma to reach record
levels.

    "Combating the illegal production and use of drugs means fighting
criminals who constantly change their tactics and probe for new ways
to skirt the law," added Vogt. "To stay ahead of criminals, we work to
be on the cutting edge in terms of developing and offering the right
education. We feel SumTotal's product gives us the tools for doing
just that."

    Merely updating and changing courses linked to the latest
developments in the war on drugs can require hours, days or even a
full-time position. To alleviate this burden, OBNDD will take
advantage of TotalVersioning(TM) -- a SumTotal tool for quickly
formatting new versions of courses when the drug agency updates
training. TotalVersioning automatically alerts law enforcement
officers and their managers when a new version of a course is
available. The product also tells officials when they must complete a
new edition of a course. TotalVersioning also tracks a learner's
status and signals to managers when an individual is in compliance.

    "OBNDD officials saw the inherent value in a learning management
suite, and they were able to showcase this to secure funding from the
Department of Justice," said Jim Gill, director of Government
Solutions for SumTotal. "We're pleased they saw the merit of our
technology and will be able to adapt our platform to address a
specific problem facing Oklahomans."
