DigitalThink Surpasses One Millionth Enrollment

San Francisco, CA – Five years ago DigitalThink (NASDAQ: DTHK) experienced its very first milestone: it introduced e-learning to the world. Today, DigitalThink announces the latest in a series of important milestones: it has surpassed 1,000,000 enrollments in its award-winning courseware offered through both its comprehensive catalog of titles and the custom solutions it has built for its leading Global 2000 customers.

“This is a proud day for me and for all of DigitalThink,” said chairman and CEO Pete Goettner. “Five years ago, we started the company to revolutionize the way businesses improve the knowledge and abilities of their people, their customers and their sales channels by using the Internet. One million enrollments is an impressive testimonial that we are fulfilling the promise of our founding principle.”

Moreover, Goettner anticipates hitting the two millionth enrollment mark by December 2001 – one-fifth the time it took to reach the first million enrollments. “That we continue to enroll people in courses at such an amazing rate is a clear indication that we’re delivering value to global enterprises with large numbers of learners and an engaging experience to the learners themselves who keep coming back to take more of our courses,” said Goettner.

Since its founding, DigitalThink has amassed a customer roster of more than 350 businesses, most of which are global enterprises tackling complex business issues using e-learning. Through its offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and in London, DigitalThink now delivers e-learning business solutions in multiple languages, localized for countries around the globe all while achieving continuously high learner satisfaction ratings.

DigitalThink’s largest customer engagements are fueling growing enrollments. For instance, at Charles Schwab, the Schwab Learning Center, which features e-learning developed and deployed by DigitalThink, has been heavily promoted on its Web site – one of the busiest in the world. Users of the courses consistently rate them an average of 9 out of a possible 10 for engaging content and overall experience. As a result, Schwab recently agreed to build on its initial engagement with DigitalThink in order to expand the e-learning offering available at the Schwab Learning Center.

Other examples of impressive enrollments and high end-user satisfaction include Circuit City, where enrollments by sales associates engaged in introductory and product training have surpassed 400,000. At GE Capital, for which DigitalThink developed, localized and delivered an e-business curriculum in five languages for as many countries, an e-learning initiative was recently launched to more than 40,000 people – in just over six weeks.

A major contributing factor to DigitalThink’s high corporate customer and end-user satisfaction rates is the performance of its proprietary e-learning platform. DigitalThink regularly engages Keynote, a Web site performance measurement company, to track DigitalThink’s performance against its nearest competitors and against the 40 busiest Web sites in the world. DigitalThink’s site is consistently available 99 per cent of the time while its nearest competitor registered down time of as much as 42 per cent in the last three months. And DigitalThink regularly beats the 40 busiest Web sites in the world by as much as five percentage points in the last three months.

“DigitalThink’s ability to deliver industrial strength e-learning to its corporate customers and end users has led to an enviable record of repeat business,” said Justin Ford, vice president of learning strategy and development at DigitalThink. “Combined with wide recognition in the press and the awards we’ve received, it’s clear DigitalThink has emerged as the best-of-breed e-learning business solutions provider, a position we intend to hold and advance going forward.”
