Successful Q4 Launch by Gemini Partner GST Technologies,
Inc. Leads to Global Retail Expansion
Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and Sarasota, Florida, United States - Gemini Learning Systems
Inc. (Gemini), developers of adaptive learning technologies, today disclosed
the global retail distribution of its courseware technology through its
UK partner, GST Technology Limited (GST). The expansion into the international
retail market follows the successful Q4 launch of GST's "getWise" brand
of training programs, which is based on innovative content and technology
developed by Gemini, whose computer based training programs offer users
a uniquely personalized learning experience.
The "getWise" software line, which includes training courses for Microsoft's
(NASDAQ:MSFT) Office 2000 and '97 suites, made its entry into retail--and
Internet--distribution, through Dixon's and PC World, the UK's largest
home computing chain, during the last quarter of 1999. On the heels of
the launch, GST has now signed with WH Smith, the well-known UK-based
bookseller, as well as other retail distributors in the U.S., Australia,
Scandinavia, Holland and South Africa.
Jeff Fenton, CEO of GST explained, "We believe there is a huge opportunity
for both the international home and OEM markets for these high quality,
affordable, CD-ROM-based courses, and we are very confident in our ability
to reach them."
Gemini President and CEO Kim Adolphe was extremely pleased with the launch
of the "getWise" product line. "GST's successful promotion of the "getWise"
brand puts Gemini's revolutionary and personalized technology in the hands
of a worldwide audience. We strongly support GST, and commit to our mutual
success with newer products and even more innovative technology in the
future."
