IntraLearn Software Corporation Attains Gold Certified Partner Status for
Seventh Straight Year in Microsoft Partner Program
 

Northboro, Mass. February 26, 2008 - IntraLearn Software Corporation, a
leading supplier of eLearning software applications, today announced it has
attained Gold Certified Partner status for the seventh straight year in the
Microsoft Partner Program with competencies in ISV/Software and Networking
Infrastructure Solutions, recognizing IntraLearn Software Corporation's
expertise and impact in the technology marketplace. As a Gold Certified
Partner, IntraLearn Software Corporation has demonstrated expertise with
Microsoft technologies and a proven ability to meet customers' needs.
Microsoft Gold Certified Partners receive a rich set of benefits, including
access, training and support, giving them a competitive advantage in the
channel.

As a Gold Certified Partner, IntraLearn Software has taken advantage of
co-marketing opportunities, seminars, and conferences with Microsoft to
enhance the company and its products. Jerry Goguen, President and CEO of
IntraLearn Software Corporation said, "The benefits provided through our
long term Gold Certified status have supplied us with the advanced
information, technical tools, and sales and marketing needed to sustain and
develop our market-ready learning solutions."

"Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between
their business demands and technology capabilities," said Allison Watson,
corporate vice president of the Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp.
"They need to trust in a company that can act as an expert adviser for their
long-term strategic technology plans. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners,
which have certified expertise and direct training and support from
Microsoft, can build a positive customer experience with our technologies.
Today, Microsoft recognizes IntraLearn Software Corporation as a new Gold
Certified Partner for demonstrating its expertise in providing customer
satisfaction using Microsoft products and technology."

As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status,
IntraLearn Software Corporation had to declare a Microsoft Competency.
Microsoft Competencies are designed to help differentiate a partner's
capabilities with specific Microsoft technologies to customers looking for a
particular type of solution. Each Competency has a unique set of
requirements and benefits, formulated to accurately represent the specific
skills and services that partners bring to the technology industry. Within
select Competencies, there are Specializations that focus on specific
solution areas that recognize deeper expertise within that Competency.
Serving as a specialized path to earning those Competencies, Specializations
give direct access to the tools and resources that support that specific
area of focus.

The ISV/Software Solutions Competency recognizes the skill and focus
partners bring to a particular solution set. Microsoft Gold Certified
Partners that have obtained this competency have a successful record of
developing and marketing packed software based on Microsoft technologies.

"Solutions competencies are an important way for Microsoft to better enable
ISVs to meet customer needs," said Sanjay Parthasarathy, corporate vice
president of the Developer and Platform Evangelism Group at Microsoft Corp.
"They allow ISVs to keep and win customers through their deep knowledge of
solutions-based Microsoft platform technologies. Microsoft has a long
history of working closely with ISV partners to help them deliver compelling
solutions and applications to our mutual customers, and the Microsoft
Competencies are an important step in continuing to enhance vital
relationships with ISVs worldwide."

The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in October 2003 and represents
Microsoft's ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The
program offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes
partner expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the
technology marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners' businesses
be successful.
