Intellor Group, Inc. Expands To Offer High-Level, Strategic Virtual Classroom Education Delivered By Industry Thought-Leaders For IT Professionals

Partnership With U4all.com To Provide Intellor Group With State-Of-The Art Virtual Classroom Infrastructure

Gaithersburg, Maryland - October 3, 2001 -Intellor Group, Inc., an independent knowledge exchange company that targets IT professionals, announces today that it is expanding its knowledge exchange programs to include state-of-the-art virtual classroom programs taught by industry thought-leaders. Leveraging its expertise in knowledge exchange through the use of community, research and education programs, Intellor Group will offer industry thought-leaders the opportunity to leverage their existing investment in traditional educational programs to reach a larger, Internet-enabled, worldwide audience. Intellor Group partnered with U4all.com, a provider of a live knowledge marketplace, to build upon their virtual classroom infrastructure.

Intellor Group, Inc.'s and U4all.com's collaboration will result in a web-enabled virtual classroom marketplace for IT industry thought-leaders. Intellor Group will provide the technology, marketing, support and administration required to be successful with virtual classroom programs. Industry thought-leaders who do not desire to become e-learning, marketing or sales specialists can use Intellor Group's infrastructure and expertise to reach IT professionals worldwide. This will enable them to add synchronous (live) and asynchronous (recorded) Internet-based education, that uses the Interwise Millennium® platform, to their education initiatives.

Intellor Group's virtual courses will offer IT departments with a new option to educate their staff using some of the most recognized names in the industry-without the time impact and expense of travel. Intellor Group will supplement their virtual classrooms with mentoring centers that will enable continued education and interaction between students and the instructors.

"In today's rapidly changing technology environment and challenged economy, IT professionals are in constant need of knowledge that they can immediately turn into success on the job," said Richard Rist, Founder and CEO, Intellor Group, Inc. "Intellor Group is using a state-of-the-art virtual classroom environment to provide thought-leaders the ability to bring their high quality, high value content to IT professionals who need the type of critical strategic education they teach."

"Intellor Group's virtual classroom education will be a strong complement to traditional IT education programs and will enhance the learning mechanisms available to all students, including students who have not been able to attend traditional IT education programs due to budget or time constraints," said Yigal Elbaz, CEO, U4all.com. "We're excited to partner with Intellor Group and provide them the virtual classroom technology and our complete online infrastructure to support their mission of providing IT professionals with the critical knowledge needed."

Intellor Group's Virtual Classroom Programs are currently based on synchronous (live) and asynchronous (recorded) Internet-based delivery models. These delivery models may be combined to create added value, multi-session courses and skill-paths. A skill-path is series of courses that Intellor Group and its Virtual Classroom Instructors recommend in order to become sufficiently knowledgeable about a technology. A skill-path may also combine industry thought-leader-based materials with specific vendor or technology-based education to create a complete solutions-oriented education program.

What Intellor Group's Virtual Classroom Instructors Have To Say

"We are excited to work with the talented folks at Intellor Group on this opportunity to take our established and popular instructor-led education material to the live and recorded Internet education environment," said G. Ken Holman, Chief Technology Officer, Crane Softwrights Ltd. "We can reach more people through the Internet than can travel to our face-to-face venues and that means that more IT professionals will have access to and can benefit from our XML knowledge. Moreover, the migration of our intellectual property to this new virtual venue succeeded smoothly and efficiently with the assistance of the Intellor Group team."

"It amazes me that after almost 20 years technology information publishers continue to miss the fact that information of value is critical to their audience-technology professionals. In general, the idea that information must have value has been totally lost. That's why we signed on with Intellor Group as Virtual Classroom Instructors. The professionals at Intellor Group understand that reality and the day-to-day professional life of their customers," said Dayna Haberle-Delmonico, CEO, Advanced Information Concepts, Inc. The necessity for valuable information is the core of Intellor Group's mission-in their virtual classroom and everything they do."

"Intellor Group's Virtual Classroom Programs will allow me to reach people that may never have the chance to attend my traditional education programs," said Mark Creamer, a leading integration consultant. "Intellor Group provided me with the tools and support to create a course that can be delivered worldwide without having to become an e-learning expert in the process."
