State government authorized to spend $9 million for unspecified e-learning services across 200 state agencies over the next three years.
WEST DES MOINES, IOWA, May 30, 2007 -- GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of Managed Learning Services and hosted learning and performance platforms, announced today that the State of Washington has extended its e-learning management system master contract with GeoLearning to 2010.

In a separate development, the state is authorized to spend a collective $9 million if it chooses for e-learning software and services over the next three years.

GeoLearning has been working with the State of Washington since 2003. The first Washington State agencies to deploy GeoLearning's on-demand GeoMaestro™ Learning Management Suite (LMS) and accompanying services include the Department of Personnel, the Department of Health, the Department of Social & Health Services, and Edmonds Community College.

"We've worked with Washington for more than three years and have earned the opportunity to help them expand across the state's government entities," said Frank Russell, president and CEO of GeoLearning. "Using our Software as a Service model, Washington's state agencies and department will continue to leverage the configurability and agility of GeoMaestro, without the hassles or headaches normally associated with large-scale software implementations."

The Internet-hosted learning management platform enables organizations to capture, create, manage and share knowledge to improve workforce productivity, accelerate critical business processes, and drive organizational performance.
