San Diego, CA (PressExposure) June 07, 2007 -- KESDEE Inc., the leading provider of Financial e-learning courses announced today that Western Asset Management, a leading fixed income manager, has deployed KESDEE’s e-learning courses through the GeoExpress Learning Management Suite (LMS) to deliver and manage company-wide training.

Western Asset Management's rapid international business expansion created the need for comprehensive and rapid employee development opportunities. Faced with this challenge, Western Asset Management turned to GeoLearning's GeoExpress LMS and KESDEE's financial learning content to deliver and administer training programs for its international team.

"Starting a corporate university 'from the ground up' is a challenge for any organization," said Steve Rue, Head of Training and Organizational Development for Western Asset Management. "But GeoLearning and KESDEE have a lock-solid integration that enabled us to assemble a best-of-breed solution. Their strong partnership helped make our new company-wide learning initiative a real success."

All KESDEE’s 500 e-learning courses are bundled and repackaged to create core and elective curriculum paths to different target audiences. This is in line with concepts of “Just enough” and “Just for you”. KESDEE’s e-learning courses are “conceptually sound, yet practical”, contains world class content within the context of actual case studies, and incorporate “Learn-by-Doing” approach through 500 simulations/financial calculators.

As part of customization, update and quality assurance of KESDEE’s e-learning courses, two members of the Global Subject Matter Experts network of KESDEE worked on-site at KESDEE Development center in Bangalore, India prior to deployment at Western Asset Management.

Western Asset Management's GeoExpress implementation leverages several of the platform's configurable features, including GeoLearning's Dynamic Reporting Engine to transform raw LMS data into actionable analysis and meaningful measurements and the Web-based Class & Event Scheduler to manage traditional and Web-based instructor-led training.
