    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25,
2007--SumTotal(R) Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUMT), a global provider of
talent and learning management solutions, and HP Education Services
have deployed SumTotal TotalLMS(TM) 7.2 for Singapore Prison Service
(SPS). TotalLMS is an enterprise software system for delivering and
analyzing learning over the Internet. The SPS also purchased
TotalCollaboration(TM), which is SumTotal's software for capturing and
disseminating knowledge.

    As part of Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs, SPS provides for
the safe custody and rehabilitation of offenders as well as education
designed to prevent recidivism. The service consists of uniformed
officers and civilian staff, including psychologists, counselors and
medical personnel.

    With e-learning delivered via SumTotal's software, prison staff
spread across 14 correctional institutions has online access to not
only prison procedures and doctrines, but also best practices designed
to boost employee performance. The SPS felt that e-learning could
supplant some classroom training and help maximize returns on the
service's budget.

    With an LMS now in place, administrators can quickly create or
adapt learning to meet the ever-changing situations that officers and
staff face inside the prison. Unlike classroom instruction, SPS staff
can tap into e-learning when the need arises. And the reports and data
that administrators can pull from the LMS -- such as an officer's
knowledge about, say, resolving conflicts -- give SPS leadership
another way to manage the service's talent.

    "SPS is committed to the concept of lifelong learning, which means
it wants its staff to have the chance to improve their skills and
talent at every turn and meet the demands of a rapidly changing
environment," said Yiam Tong Yong, solution consultant, HP Education
Services, Singapore.

    "SPS views a learning management system as the foundation for
developing the intellectual capital of its officers and staff at any
time, any place," said Wilfred Wee, head of Training and Development
Branch for Singapore Prison Service.

    "With the e-learning platform in place, learning is now so
accessible and effective," added Narendran Krishann, assistant
superintendent (ASP1) at Singapore Prison Service.

    "Today's announcement marks another in a list of successful
implementations for HP and SumTotal," said Alex Raymond, SumTotal's
vice president for Asia-Pacific. "We believe this is further evidence
of our progress toward expanding our international business into new
quarters of the globe."

    In the coming months, SPS will convert many paper-based training
materials into an electronic format for delivery and access by the SPS
learner population.
