The 2008 version of TrainingPartner has nearly 100 improvements including status triggers, new search options, security settings and added browser support. The major enhancements in TrainingPartner 2008 are related to activities that happen outside the classroom. Many of the new features can be grouped into two main areas that together help organizations deliver and manage collaborative learning environments: performance management and informal learning.

"Informal learning is becoming the focus of many organizations due to its immediacy and relevancy," said Justin Hearn, President of GeoMetrix Data Systems Inc. "Informal knowledge capture often provides workers with methods for taking advantage of immediate application, as well as the ability to drive learning in a more meaningful and self-directed way."

"Organizations are finding that there can be significant competitive advantage in promoting and supporting informal learning and the communities of practice that encourage it," stated Hearn. "TrainingPartner 2008 provides the tools for improving learning opportunities for everyone."

Hearn continued, "Our goal with the new features in TrainingPartner 2008 is to help you create the most comprehensive learning environment possible where all forms of learning are used to improve individual, organizational and enterprise performance."

GeoMetrix continues to develop and distribute the industry's most advanced and comprehensive learning tools. The central vision driving the development of TrainingPartner remains the ability to adapt the product to meet each customer's unique business needs. But not to compromise the ability to maintain the system when newer versions are released.

Major features planned for the next two years of product development are carefully designed to minimize any impact on current functionality and business processes. As always, specific product features and enhancements are based on market demands and customer requirements.

The TrainingPartner™ 2008 product line consists of TrainingPartner 2008, TrainingPartner 2008 Online, TrainingPartner 2008 Offline Content Player, the TrainingPartner 2008 API, and KnowledgePresenter 2008. These products provide unparalleled enterprise learning functionality for the extended enterprise.

Key development goals with this (and future releases) include backwards compatibility, continued support for extensibility (through macros, form and online designers) and specific features determined by market requirements and client feedback.
