FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


WORKGROUP CONNECTIONS, INC. ANNOUNCES Lotus NOTES 8 ONLINE TRAINING COURSE


St. Louis, MO - January 2, 2008 -- Workgroup Connections, Inc. announced the release of a web-based on-line training course designed to educate employees on the new and modified features of IBM Lotus Notes 8. This training course is being delivered in a self-paced eLearning format, and is affordably priced for organizations of all sizes.

Improve Employee Productivity
Using the latest IBM technology, Workgroup Connections, Inc. developed an Internet-based on-line learning course enabling employees of all sized organizations to learn the new functionality of Lotus Notes 8. Users can optionally pre-assess their knowledge of Lotus Notes 8 functionality and take only the modules they need. Self-paced markers enable employees to leave and come back as time permits.

Lower Deployment Costs
As customers upgrade to Lotus Notes 8, users will need to be trained to take advantage of the many new features of the visually improved user interface. According to a Gartner group study, the growing number of applications and computing devices raises the need for end-user training. Untrained users cost at least five times more to support than trained users.

"We wanted to create a course that could be easily deployed, and allow experienced users to focus primarily on the new features of Lotus Notes 8", said Carol Schreiber, President, Workgroup Connections. Inc. "Organizations have the option to deploy the course as a hosted solution, or installed on-site on a Domino server, both at affordable price points."

Course Availability
The web-based course is available immediately for customers who are beginning the upgrade to Lotus Notes 8. A demo of the course can be obtained on-line by visiting http://www.wgcinc.com.
