TechLearn Trends FLASH

TechLearn Readers... FLASH.... July 29, 1999 From: Elliott Masie

A major announcement was made today in the learning and training industry.

IBM's Lotus Development Division today announced that they are purchasing
Macromedia's Pathware learning management system. In addition, Lotus will
distribute Macromedia's Authorware, Director, Attain Objects for
Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash products.

This brings Pathware into the same group at Lotus that currently develops
and market's Lotus Learning Space. I recently met with IBM's Learning
Services Group and this announcement adds fuel to the perception that
they are taking the learning services opportunity very seriously.

The learning industry continues its consolidation evolution. Details on
this deal at http://www.lotus.com

NOTE: Both Macromedia and Lotus are Sponsors of our TechLearn '99
Conference (http://www.techlearn.com)
