like Mazda with the critical e-Learning components that provide real business

     learning management systems.



"Vendors that can scale to meet customers' needs, provide superior content in an
interoperable and fail-safe environment, and continuously deliver cutting-edge
technology will capitalize on the fast-growing opportunities in the market for
e-Learning services," predicted Michael Brennan, Program Manager of Learning
Services Research at IDC, "DigitalThink is positioning itself to do just that."
