    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 13, 2007--Durham,
N.C.-based Perago Learning Solutions, Inc. has selected SumTotal(R)
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUMT), a global provider of talent and learning
management solutions, to deliver sales education via mobile devices to
Perago's partners and staff. To accomplish this, Perago has tapped
ResultsOnDemand(TM), which is SumTotal's software-as-a-service (SaaS)
model for analyzing performance and delivering learning.

    "Perago provides custom learning content as well as integration
and consulting services that help our clients extend the reach of
their learning offerings," said Tristan L. Evans, president of Perago
Learning Solutions. "With ResultsOnDemand, we can now manage a broad
range of learning offerings, even those delivered via hand-held
devices in one integrated system. We deliver sales courses and product
information that teach our partners and employees the best ways to
promote and support our products and services. I guess you could say
we're finally practicing what we've been preaching."

    For its internal and partner learning, Perago relies on a mobile
platform that links to ResultsOnDemand in order to synchronize the
delivery and tracking of sales education. Using ResultsOnDemand, Evans
says he can deliver learning exclusively to staff or serve up content
tailored to partners or customers.

    "SumTotal has been very forward-thinking about the many possible
modes of learning delivery, which gives us the agility to deliver
learning when and how and to whom we want," added Evans. "The effort
SumTotal has put into listening to its customers and the many ways
those customers deliver learning activities to their staff has
resulted in a product with an integration tool which made it easy for
us to set up and synchronize ResultsOnDemand with our mobile learning
platform. As a small shop, we don't want our employees to have to
access multiple platforms to find learning, take courses and record
the results."

    "Perago is using ResultsOnDemand in a unique way, which speaks to
its ingenuity as well as the flexibility of our platform," said Jon
Ciampi, vice president of marketing for SumTotal. "We believe it's
important to develop our technology to support the impromptu way many
employees learn to do their jobs, including the use of expertise
location, podcasts, blogs, simulation and gaming. Developing
ResultsOnDemand to support the way our customers want to learn
epitomizes learning on-demand."

    Ciampi added, "ResultsOnDemand also offers our customers
hassle-free upgrades, support and maintenance."

    According to Ciampi, SumTotal's ResultsOnDemand provides learning
and talent management at a price that small- and medium-sized
businesses can afford. Download the ResultsOnDemand Information Kit at
