April 11, 2000 - TrainingNet
TrainingNet kicks off
worldwide expansion initiative with the acquisition of U.K.'s largest training
resource
- TrainingNet
announced today that it has surged ahead in the international training
marketplace with the acquisition of The
Graduate Group, owner of the United Kingdom's leading B2B e-commerce
training resource, The National Training Index. This acquisition establishes
TrainingNet's global presence with the addition of the National Training Index's
base of over 130 online corporate customers – including such leading
companies as British Aerospace, Ernst and Young, British Airways and America
Online U.K – and some 2,000 training providers included in the Index. It
combines the English-speaking world's two largest training markets, allowing
TrainingNet clients instant access to the greatest selection of training
resources addressing the needs of corporations.
Also today, TrainingNet announced it has acquired another U.K.
company, Trainers Village, a
Web-based registry of information technology trainers. The Trainers Village
acquisition enables TrainingNet to offer training providers instant access to
the skills of more than 1,600 freelance independent trainers in subjects ranging
from UNIX engineering to C++ programming to Microsoft certification.
Today's announcements are the first moves in TrainingNet's plan to
bring the most comprehensive B2B e-commerce training marketplace to a worldwide
audience. The company has raised more than $46 million to execute this strategy
through acquisitions and product development.
"The training market is highly fragmented in terms of providers,
content and quality," said Peter L. Martin, vice president of Equity
Research at Jefferies & Company. "TrainingNet's efforts to bring
coherence to this international market is a tremendous operating strategy and
huge competitive advantage. There are too many providers for any company to keep
track of, never mind evaluating quality and calculating return on investment.
Companies, especially multinationals, need a single source to find and buy
training if they want to manage it as a strategic asset." TrainingNet
gives corporate training managers a single place on the Web to find, evaluate
and buy the training their employees need from a network of more than 1,200
U.S.-based training providers.
