PeopleSoft Adds iCreate Technology to Training Products Agreement
with Latitude Will Enable PeopleSoft's Customers to Accelerate
Creation, Management and Delivery of Flash-Based Learning Content
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Latitude
Communications has signed an original equipment manufacturing
agreement with PeopleSoft, Inc. . Pursuant to the agreement,
PeopleSoft has embedded Latitude's MeetingPlace iCreate(R) into
selected training products marketed under PeopleSoft's brand.
Latitude is a leading provider of fully integrated web and voice
conferencing, and rich-media content publishing applications.
MeetingPlace iCreate enables educators and business communicators
to create rich-media content themselves for distance learning,
corporate training and sales demos. Users convert PowerPoint
presentations into engaging, highly accessible Flash content at a
fraction of the cost and time needed for Flash design. Text,
graphics, animation, audio and interactive elements such as quizzes
are converted to Flash, compressing the file's size by up to 90
percent. Through reducing the time and costs of creating content,
customers often gain a return on investment in days. PeopleSoft has
licensed both product versions of MeetingPlace iCreate, which
include an enterprise-licensed solution and desktop software.
PeopleSoft will use the enterprise solution to develop training
products, including its popular on-demand training series, "Cyber
Seminars," and will resell the desktop software under the
PeopleSoft brand. The company will also provide customization
services supported by Latitude to enable PeopleSoft's customers to
create interactive surveys that converse with the company's
learning management system. "Using MeetingPlace iCreate, we've
accelerated training profits by maximizing the cost-effectiveness
of producing, packaging and selling e- learning content," said Jon
Faulk, PeopleSoft's manager of learning technologies. Faulk, who
leads a team of designers who build education technology solutions,
added, "We're excited to move beyond using the product ourselves to
offering it to our customers so that they can enhance their
training initiatives." "We're delighted that PeopleSoft is
utilizing MeetingPlace iCreate in its learning technology offerings
and marketing the solution with products under its esteemed brand,"
said Rick McConnell, Latitude's chief executive officer. "Through
this partnership, PeopleSoft is extending its reach to rich-media
content publishing while Latitude is broadening its market for
real-time collaboration and on-demand presentation offerings."
