General de la República de Colombia
Chooses IntraLearn LMS
Campus Virtual to offer online
courses to federal employees of Contraloría General
Bogota, Colombia, July 1, 2004 -- IntraLearn
Latin America Ltda. (ILLA), the Latin American subsidiary
of IntraLearn Software Corporation, the leading supplier
of configurable e-Learning software applications to the
mid-market, announced today that IntraLearn has been selected
by the Contraloría General de la República
de Colombia to supply the Learning Management System (LMS)
to manage online courses as part of the overall Campus
Virtual initiative. The IntraLearn LMS is part of the
much larger project awarded to IntraLearn partner InfoGroup
of Bogotá, Colombia, and the product is being installed
and supported by IntraLearn’s Venezuelan Authorized
IntraLearn Reseller, NetPeople.
Alfredo Leone, IntraLearn Latin America’s Director,
said, “We are very excited to have been chosen by
the Contraloría General to supply the LMS for the
Campus Virtual initiative. We understand that although
the IntraLearn product is a powerful solution, it’s
the reputations and local strengths our partners bring
that made the overall solution so appealing.”
The Campus Virtual initiative, called “Escuela
de Altos Estudios de Control Fiscal de la Contraloría
General de la República de Colombia,” is
initially expected to offer courses to 4,000 public employees
of Colombia’s State Treasury and is expected to
grow to 8,000 within three years with the addition of
other federal employees and private citizens.
“InfoGroup is excited to have been awarded such
a large and important project by the Colombian government,”
said Martha Abondano, Director of InfoGroup Ltda. “Although
online learning is just one part of a larger initiative,
IntraLearn’s security features, scalability and
local support combined with the ease of integration with
other applications made it critical to the overall award.”
Jose Luis Pascual, Consulting Partner of NetPeople,
said, “We are so proud to have both IntraLearn Software
Corp. and InfoGroup entrust NetPeople to provide product
installation, customization, maintenance and training
for this important project. We are truly committed to
this project, since it’s the first real government
initiative on e-Learning in Colombia based on standards,
and a very clear Latin-American reference on federal legislation
through e-Learning. Excellent team work and great products
are the key elements on this project.”
The Contraloría General de la República
de Colombia is the official government body in charge
of managing the finances for the country. The Campus Virtual
will be implemented for the Colombian government by a
consortium of companies led by InfoGroup.
