The California-based OneTouch Systems, whose interactive distance learning (IDL) solutions increase the capacity for organizations to train and communicate, announced it has been selected by three educational organizations for programs designed to reach students in geographically dispersed areas.
These organizations include a joint network between the New South Wales Department of Education and Training and the Northern Territory Department of Education, Employment and Training (Australia), the Ministry of Education (Egypt), and Knowledge Technology Systems (Dubai).
The new client wins come on the heels of OneTouch's recent profitability announcement—the third quarter ending September 30, 2002 continued the profitability trend that OneTouch set in 2001 when the company was profitable every quarter. OneTouch has also made several recent product announcements, including the newest version of its On Demand product suite.
The company attributes its recent successes in the market to its continued dominance in the U.S. IDL market, especially in retail, government and automotive industries, and now its expansion into the educational market, according to a company press release.
The Ministry of Education in Egypt chose the OneTouch 5 solution as part of their project intended to "Teach the Teachers" and increase the number of qualified teachers all over Egypt. This project will initially utilize the OneTouch classroom solution to connect 1,150 remote participants at 23 sites as part of the Ministry of Education's videoconferencing network. — (menareport.com)
