GeoLearning's GeoMaestro Wins Unprecedented Fourth Straight "Best SaaS LMS" in 2008 Best of E-Learning! Awards -- GeoMaestro has swept the category every year since the inception of the readers' choice awards program.

WEST DES MOINES, IOWA, January 13, 2009 -- GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of on-demand learning and performance management technology platforms, announced today that its GeoMaestro 5 Series LMS Suite has been named "Best Software as a Service Learning Management System" in the annual Best of E-Learning! Awards hosted by E-Learning! Magazine. GeoMaestro has swept the category every year since the inception of the awards program in 2005.

"The Best of E-Learning! Awards program is the only readers' choice awards in the market," said Catherine Upton, Group Publisher of E-Learning! Magazine. "Recognition of this type is increasingly important as more companies deploy e-learning initiatives to impact business and improve efficiencies."

In a recent poll of attendees at the E-Learning! Summit, 83% of respondents said they recommended e-learning solutions to peers over the last 12 months. And, 61% of respondents said "award recognition impacts their decision to consider or purchase from honored vendors."

"The Best of E-Learning! program offers professionals a reliable resource to learn from users and gather information that influences their future purchases," explained Upton.

The publication asked more than 50,000 e-learning professionals to share their opinions. Ballots were cast over the past 3 months by the readers of E-Learning! Magazine, e-zine, E-Learning! e-newsletter and E-Learning! Alert, as well as visitors to E-Learning!'s Web site.

"Its exciting to be honored for an unprecedented fourth year by actual performance and learning technology users," said Frank Russell, president and CEO of GeoLearning. "This open vote enables the users of both the GeoLearning system and those of our competitors to cast a ballot. It's an important measure for the products in our industry. For us to come out on top again is continued validation that the usability and flexibility of our LMS and the superiority of GeoLearning's Software as a Service delivery model creates bottom-line performance results for our customers."

Selected voter comments about GeoLearning and GeoMaestro were consolidated and appear in the "Best of E-Learning! Awards" issue of E-Learning! Magazine (Winter 2009):

I'm cannot imagine how GeoLearning won ever - at all. We have GeoMaestro and have unimaginable problems with the product, but more with the company! Overbilling, extremely poor customer service. I could like dozens of issues.

I agree with the previous comment. My company used Geo and it was nightmare. They have very bad customer service. Many times our rep was unavailable or just didn't bother to return our support calls. He didn't seem to care about solving our problems unless he could find a way to make us pay for some customization. I would not recommend GeoLearning at all.
