China's Neusoft Group, a listed software and services supplier, signs a partnership agreement with NetDimensions through which Neusoft will market and support NetDimensions' Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP) learning management system to blue-chip clients throughout China.

HONG KONG, NOVEMBER 16, 2004 - The Neusoft Group, China's largest listed software and solutions provider with more than 40 branches throughout China, Japan and the U.S.A., today announced its new partnership with NetDimensions, a global enterprise-class learning management system (LMS) provider.

The partnership, effective immediately, calls for Neusoft to provide sales and support for NetDimensions' software to meet the growing demand for learning and knowledge management solutions among Neusoft's broad range of blue-chip clients in the PRC.

Under the terms of the agreement, Neusoft will market NetDimensions' Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP), a powerful and scalable multilingual LMS used by more than 100 organizations worldwide, including ING, South Africa Telkom, Cathay Pacific Airways, ABN AMRO and HSBC.

David Yang, Chief Executive of Neusoft's Content Business Development Division, said: "As China's leading software and enterprise solutions provider, we focus on providing our clients with best-of-breed learning and human resource development solutions. Online learning has become a vital delivery channel to meet this goal.

"Our partnership with NetDimensions means we can offer a proven platform for e-learning that enables our clients to deliver, manage and record their training and development programs more effectively, ultimately improving their business performance."

NetDimensions founder and CEO Jay Shaw said: "With the increasing importance and growth of corporate e-learning in China, our partnership with Neusoft is central to our business strategy of expanding our presence in this rapidly growing market."

Neusoft and NetDimensions launched the new partnership with an invitation-only November 5th Shanghai seminar on e-learning for more than 90 China-based corporations. Seminar speakers included Andrea Marlan, NetDimensions Asia Pacific Business Development Manager, and Neusoft host Liang Tie. Marlan and Liang both commented on the strong interest levels among Chinese firms.

"Now is the time," said Marlan, "and Neusoft is uniquely positioned to develop the corporate e-learning market in China."
