GeoLearning Announces 106% Revenue Growth for Q1 2004
GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of ASP-hosted human capital management and development (HCMD) solutions, announced today that first-quarter revenues for the three months ending March 31, 2004 have increased 106% over the same period ended March 31, 2003. The company also achieved a net profit margin approaching 10% on first quarter revenues.
“The continued success of our business strategy can be attributed to the economic and operational appeal of our full-service, full-responsibility approach to the ASP hosting model,” said Frank Russell, president and CEO of GeoLearning. “An ever-increasing number of organizations see GeoLearning’s hosted platform as a smarter, cost-effective alternative to the hidden costs, high failure rates, unacceptable risks and protracted implementations of old-world learning management software. The effectiveness of our solutions has helped GeoLearning expand business with existing clients, acquired significant new contracts and unseat incumbent LMS software providers, many of whom are still unable to reach profitability.”
Other first quarter highlights at GeoLearning include:
- Awarded a 5-year contract valued at approximately $7 million by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to provide Internet hosting and security services for the federal government’s Electronic Human Resources Integration (EHRI) initiative and related Web-based human capital performance tools.
