Systems, Cost Savings and ROI Achieved
AUCKLAND - 6 November 2002 - Pathlore New Zealand today announced a series of Web seminars focused on the best
strategies for not only selecting a Learning Management System (LMS) but also landing cost savings and rapid ROI through
a LMS.
The seminars are aimed at organisations considering e-Learning initiatives. They will provide resourceful information on
how to successfully select, implement and evaluate their organisation’s training programs. Participants will also come
to grips with buzz words like 'learning management system', 'virtual classrooms', 'skill gap analysis' and 'online
learning'. The two live, interactive one-hour seminars will be hosted by David Currie, Pathlore’s Account Executive for
Asia Pacific. They will be presented directly to participant’s desktops via real-time web cast with streaming audio to
create a dynamic learning experience. Participants will have the ability to engage with Pathlore presenters by clicking
yes/no responses or using a chat screen.
The two web seminar topics are: Best Strategies in Selecting an LMS (19th November 2002, 8:00am) Learning Management

Cost Savings and Rapid ROI with Learning Management (20th November 2002, 8:00am) Packed with examples of how Learning
Management Systems (LMS) can solve the business issues facing organisations, this seminar focuses on the cost
effectiveness of having an LMS. Learn about key business drivers that caused many of Pathlore’s customers to implement

seminars held,” says David Currie. “These seminars have been organised in response to the interest from New Zealand
