Stamford, CT, March 28, 2001
– FirstClass Systems Corporation, Canada's global full-service
supplier in the eLearning sector, has entered into a comprehensive
agreement with PrimeLearning.com®™, a leading international
provider of business skills eLearning solutions for the corporate
training market, to provide industry-leading eLearning solutions
to FirstClass Systems’ global distribution network.
Under this agreement, corporate customers of FirstClass will
be able to purchase the PrimeLearning.com® eLearning solutions
via FirstClass Systems’ sales channels. This includes

high quality content to its already rich selection of business
skills curricula. As more curricula are added, they will also
become available to FirstClass customers.
“PrimeLearning.com®’s world-class eLearning products
and services represent an opportunity to take FirstClass Systems’
sales to much higher levels and more quickly than anticipated,”
said Bruce Stewart, President of FirstClass Systems. “For
us, however, the strongest element of this relationship is
in the quality and dedication of the PrimeLearning.com® people
we work with. Their contribution promises to make this the
most successful product launch for FirstClass Systems yet.”
As part of their “due diligence” effort, FirstClass
executives surveyed existing clients about their perceptions
of the PrimeLearning.com® curricula. Without exception, FirstClass
customers praised the quality and relevance of the curricula,
particularly citing ease of integration into existing staff
development programs.
“We are delighted with our latest channel partnership,
” stated Terry O’Brien, Founder and CEO of PrimeLearning.com®.
“FirstClass Systems Corporation is a well-established
company that is focused on meeting customer needs. And that
