SumTotal Systems has released SumTotal Enterprise Suite 7.6. The newest
version of SumTotal's software helps executives find talent, identify and fill
gaps in a workforce's skill set and recognize and reward employee performance.
"In this release we added a number of components of functionality based on
customer feedback; however, the major areas of focus were ease of use and
configurability," said Dave Crussell, COO, SumTotal.

Usability enhancements to SumTotal 7.6 include an array of intuitively
designed features for employees, including supercharged search, easy-to-use
course registration panels and customer-designed displays.

"While most companies think about succession planning in the same way,
they often have unique processes for identifying critical roles and searching
their respective organizations for the right successors," said Marcus
Wasdin, SumTotal's VP of marketing and product management. "SumTotal 7.6
offers workflows that more closely match the way senior-level executives and
their HR and training teams want to identify candidates and groom them for
higher-level responsibilities."

Highlights of SumTotal 7.6 include: a variety of performance-management
capabilities for evaluating employee goals and reviewing succession plans; new
workflows for assigning training based upon a company's unique organizational
structure; a learning content management system that supports the latest edition
of SCORM 2004; a collection of standards and specifications for web-based
e-learning, and enhanced language capabilities to meet the needs of customers
across Asia and Europe.

"We took our customers' top requests ranging from enhancements to the
way companies deliver learning to supporting the latest technology," said
Wasdin, "and we built a solution that's focused on they way our customers
develop their employees, instead of creating software that attacks, in a very
tactical way, an HR or training manager's to-do list."

Along with the addition of 250 workflows for managing performance and
learning, SumTotal 7.6 also offers a number of technology enhancements, which
include support for database platforms like Oracle 10g and SQL Server 2005.

"SumTotal 7.6 will give executives as well as HR and training teams a
way to seamlessly assess employees' skill sets and deliver the learning
experiences that will increase job performance," said Crussell. "Best
of all for our customers, we feel we've designed our newest release in a way
that reflects how they and their respective organizations prefer to work."
