Press Release Body: Bangalore, July 8, 2008: ProEd Training, Bangalore based leading
provider of IBM mainframe training and related solutions in India today announced
that it has partnered with Australia-based Datatrain to make available in India for
the first time, eLearning curriculum for mainframe education that has been widely
accepted globally. The new approach will significantly increase the productivity of
mainframe professionals by having them quickly trained besides complimenting blended
learning strategies in mainframe education. Datatrain is a leading global provider
of IBM mainframe courseware and its content is widely acknowledged as the best in
its class.

According to Vijay Kumar, CEO, ProEd Training, "Data Train's eLearning enabled
world-class IBM mainframe courseware will change the way mainframe learning has been
practiced in India till recently. The current (instructor-led training) approach has
constraints when applied to a geographically dispersed workforce whose requirement
for skilling is constant. Besides, the time tested courseware from Datatrain ensures
that learning imparted is highly relevant to IT companies who are constantly
striving to increase the billable hours. The partnership further strengthens the
positioning of ProEd as a market dominant company offering end to end services and
solutions in this arena."

Commenting on the Partnership, Vaishali Nagaratnam, Marketing Manager, Datatrain,
said, "Increasingly, a lot of mainframe based development, maintenance and migration
work is moving to India and the country is today an important hub for mainframe
projects. We have realized through our experience globally that eLearning is the way
to go and we feel the potential in the Indian market is yet to be tapped due to lack
of awareness of a solution like this. Together with ProEd we are looking to increase
our presence in this growing market and to change the mainframe learning methodology
in India significantly."
