Dramatic new innovation presented at e-Learning Conference

São Paulo, Brazil, June 21st, 2005 --QuickMind Knowledge Management, a Brazilian partner of IntraLearn Latin America Ltda (ILLA), introduced its industry-leading “Rapid e-Learning” program last week at the e-Learning Brazil Conference, the main e-Learning conference of the HR industry in Brazil.
As part of a panel of experts in e-Learning, Fábio Barcellos, CEO of QuickMind, said, “Brazilian companies have started to focus their Human Resource strategy on the rapid deployment of e-Learning. It will soon become a major trend, especially because it consolidates efficiency and creativity while accelerating the delivery of critical learning in an organization.”

QuickMind also presented the new corporate university of SulAmérica, called UNIVERSAS. SulAmérica, a Brazilian insurance conglomerate and an ING partner, will be using the powerful IntraLearn SME to deliver online courses to their 25,000 employees and brokers.

The e-Learning Brazil Conference included more than 800 companies, 37 workshops, and 24 moderated panels. “We estimate that 450 firms have some level of e-Learning initiative going on in Brazil. This market is now projecting to be over R$300 million,” says Barcellos. “We believe QuickMind is articulating the appropriate vision for Rapid e-Learning and we are working jointly to deliver complete, integrated solutions to this growing market segment,” added Alfredo Leone, Managing Director for IntraLearn Latin America. QuickMind expects to grow more than 60% in the next year, with specialized offerings for Rapid e-Learning development.
