Press Release Summary: Convergence Training introduces Convergence Training Viewer,
free software designed to streamline access to digital training media and optimize
the computer-based training experience.

Press Release Body: Camas, WA - Oct 7, 2008 - Convergence Training, a division of
Capstone Technology, announces the introduction of Convergence Training Viewer, a
free, downloadable training access portal specifically designed to view interactive
training media. Convergence Training Viewer provides virtually anyone, anywhere, at
any time access to a catalog of computer-based health and safety training modules
developed in compliance with federal MSHA and OSHA standards for industrial,
governmental, and higher education purposes.

Convergence Training Viewer represents a fundamental shift in the way that workplace
education and training can be administered. Customers can go from download to
training in a matter of minutes. Anyone can download the free application from the
Convergence Training website and access the catalog, purchase modules, download
content, train employees, and print certificates of completion all within a single
software application.

Convergence Training Viewer was developed to meet the needs of an evolving
computer-based training market. While training managers have come to expect more
dynamic and interactive training material, much of the industry has failed to keep
up technologically.

For example, online training may satisfy some customers but bandwidth constrictions
continue to plague users with low quality video and limited visual content resulting
in a diminished training experience. And although some server-based learning
management systems (LMSs) can sidestep bandwidth issues, their infrastructure and
support costs can place them far out of reach for smaller to medium-sized
organizations.

Convergence Training Viewer solves this core problem of limited access to quality,
affordable training by giving users an easy-to-use platform to download purchased
training modules and play them locally, eliminating bandwidth concerns. Users
benefit from the stable delivery of effective, engaging content for a superior
training experience at extremely reasonable prices.

"We've been looking forward to introducing a platform like this for quite some
time." says Randy Kohltfarber, Director of Product Development. "Our focus has
always been on delivering the best, most effective training experience in the
industry. Convergence Training Viewer eliminates the technical limitations we've
dealt with for years. Now we can make our training material available to anyone
almost instantly without the slightest loss in quality. It's really a best-case
scenario for us and our customers."

This platform sets the stage for collaborating with other computer-based education
and training producers to distribute SCORM-compliant material.

On the heels of Convergence Training Viewer, a networkable version will be available
soon as an advanced learning management service provided by Convergence Training.
Customers will be able to administer computer-based training to multiple
workstations at different locations without the bandwidth limitations of
conventional online training and without the capital expense of a server-based
system.
