of their technologies. This evaluation is based on a comprehensive
framework and set of parameters that assess vendors relative to one
another and to those factors expected to be most conducive to
success in a given market during the short and long term.

Lawson provides a variety of innovative training solutions to help
our customers maximize their return on their enterprise software
investment,” said Alan Hupp, vice president, Lawson Learning. "Our
