KnowledgePlanet Selected As Finalist for Software Industry Award

Mechanicsburg, PA (PRWeb) January 29, 2007 - KnowledgePlanet, a leading provider of performance-based learning solutions that maximize workforce and talent potential, today announced that its On-Demand Learning Suite has been selected as a finalist in the Best Corporate Learning category of the Software & Information Industry Association's (SIIA) 22nd Annual CODiE Awards.

KnowledgePlanet is a past CODiE Award winner, having been awarded the Association's prize in 2003 for Best Application Service Solution.

Established in 1986, the CODiE Awards celebrate outstanding achievement and vision in the software, digital information and education technology industries.

Showcasing the finest in the industry, the selected finalists represent a variety of companies in the software industry's equivalent of the Oscars. More than 1,200 nominations were submitted by over 600 companies. Entries were judged by over 219 individuals with trade press, consulting, education, IT, and other neutral specialist backgrounds.

"The 2007 CODiE Finalists represent real winners, even at this stage of the contest," said Ken Wasch, SIIA President. "Competition is fiercer than ever and that makes selection as a CODiE Finalist a major achievement. All the companies on this year's list should feel justifiably proud of their recognition."

Delivered in a software-as-a-service model, KnowledgePlanet's On-Demand Learning Suite combines industrial-strength human capital management -- Learning, Performance and Reporting -- with intensive collaborative authoring, simulation, and live virtual learning technologies, as well as a fully integrated catalog of off-the-shelf courses.

For a single subscription-based price, the performance-based learning solution enables significant business improvements -- operational efficiency, improved workforce productivity, and increased employee retention -- that ensure enterprise-grade value at a fraction of industry-standard costs.

"We are honored to be selected as a finalist for such a prestigious award," said Scott Mumma, Chief Operating Officer of KnowledgePlanet. "It's a testament to the innovative, comprehensive approach that we strive towards with all of the offerings that we bring to market."
