Press Release Summary: Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal Recognizes Altus'
Growth Due to Saving Global Companies Millions in Travel Costs and Accelerating
Revenue by Increasing Sales Force Productivity



Press Release Body: Silicon Valley-based Altus Learning Systems was named the 22nd
fastest growing company in Silicon Valley by The Silicon Valley / San Jose Business
Journal.

Altus's growth is driven by organizations like Cisco, NetApp and IBM that are
looking beyond in-person meetings and road shows to transfer the product knowledge
needed to grow revenues and productivity. Altus is saving their customers millions
in travel costs, and increasing sales and operational productivity by delivering
product and market information in the digital formats that people in the field need,
when they need it.

The current economic climate is forcing organizations to dramatically reduce
operational costs like travel and in-person training. Coupled with the need to
educate global teams, this has created a greater need for innovative, cost-efficient
enterprise solutions that enable people throughout the extended enterprise to
collaboratively share their knowledge and ideas without being in the same place at
the same time.

"Altus is growing rapidly because we help companies improve both their top and
bottom lines," said Ted Cocheu, Altus CEO. "We recently helped a customer achieve a
10x return on their $60,000 investment within 90 days using Altus technology to
reduce the duration and costs of attending a single sales event, while also
increasing revenue through more knowledgeable sales and support people."

The Altus video-on-demand SaaS solution stores the content shared at corporate
meetings and conferences, as well as user-generated content, so that it can be
searched, viewed, and collaborated on to meet the just-in-time learning needs of
today's busy sales forces. Altus video-on-demand and social networking capabilities
empower geographically-dispersed teams to better manage large, complex product lines
across global channels and communicate more effectively with colleagues and
customers.


Altus digitally captures expert presentations like TiVo, makes it searchable like
Google and delivers it like YouTube. Altus does this by recording people sharing
knowledge, transcribing their presentations, synchronizing the various components,
and making it all searchable and accessible down to the spoken word. For more
information about Altus and saving travel and training costs, contact Tim Hughan,
Director of Marketing, at (408) 395-9154.

A full list of all 50 winners is available in the print edition of The Silicon
Valley / San Jose Business Journal. For more information, visit
