IntraLearn Software Corporation, the leading supplier of configurable e-Learning software applications for midmarket enterprises, school systems, and product training departments of Global 2000 companies, has announced the release of IntraLearn Community, a robust Web platform with built-in collaborative tools that allows an organization's extended family to share knowledge and ideas easily and efficiently. It also provides a single, secure site for an organization's information, while improving its ability to manage its knowledge base and streamline document distribution.

IntraLearn Community is a pre-configured version of the award winning Teamware Pl@za and links directly to IntraLearn e-Learning products. An organization's registered IntraLearn learners can link automatically to IntraLearn Community and take advantage of its offerings.

Like all IntraLearn products, it can be installed right out of the box in a few hours and deployed almost immediately. Within a week or two, organizations can offer their extended family of users--instructors, learners, vendors, channel partners, resellers, and end customers--a set of communities that promotes improved communications, increased sharing of knowledge, sharing of ideas and experiences, partner-secured access to company information, streamlined document distribution and improved knowledge management.

IntraLearn Community offers powerful tools for building multiple, interactive Web communities. It provides ready-made form pages for easy content input and Interactive Business Cards for displaying user information and contact details, as well as content Search, user comment Feedback, and messaging services for contacting other community members.

In this single product, users can collaborate with each other using built-in tools like listings of available communities, threaded discussion groups, live chats, online meetings, event scheduling, online business cards (user profiles), user search, surveys, document folders, special interest groups, and a calendar of all scheduled events.

'By repackaging the award-winning Teamware Pl@za into a single, pre-configured product, we have been able to reduce customer implementation times and deployment costs dramatically' said Peter Banhazl, Executive Vice President, IntraLearn Software Corporation. 'The tight integration of IntraLearn Community with IntraLearn creates an incredibly powerful and effective online community for learning and training providers.'
