Introducing the OpenEdge eLearning Library

Progress Software is pleased to introduce a new way of taking our award-winning training - the OpenEdge eLearning Library (OpenEdge Library), consisting of the following:

• OpenEdge Catalog
• Sonic Catalog

The OpenEdge Library is a subscription-based service that gives you access to all of our courses for the low price of $1500 USD for 12 months per student. This means that for the length of the subscription, you have unlimited online access to the entire Progress OpenEdge Catalog (over 40 titles). New in 2007, you will have access to the entire Progress Sonic Catalog and other Progress Product training that will be developed during the year. New courses and course updates will be added to the OpenEdge Library in the coming year as well so you can keep pace with changing functionality right at your desktop.

An OpenEdge Library subscription offers many advantages, including:

• You can take as many courses as you like, whenever you like.
• You can learn in your own style, at your own pace. You can go through a course from start-to-finish, or go directly to the lesson or topic you need, when you need it. And you can revisit a topic as many times as you like.
• You can take training when it fits your schedule. There is no need to register for training in advance, or wait until a class is offered.
• You don't have to worry about traveling to take a course or being away from work for extended periods of time.
• You will always have access to the latest training.
• We will continually add new and revised versions of courses throughout the year, while retaining the older versions as well.

And for the first time, we will be making available the same product update training that we deliver internally to Progress employees. If you want to know the latest about our product releases, this is the training you've been looking for. These raw, rough-around-the-edges courses offer the most timely What's New information possible and they will only be available to OpenEdge Library subscribers.

The OpenEdge Library includes three kinds of courses:

• Web-based Training (WBT) – Our highly interactive, award-winning online courses.
• eBooks – Online versions of our Instructor-led Training books, accompanied by downloadable exercise and example files.
• Product Readiness training – Multiple presentations with downloadable exercises originally created for Progress employees.
