IntraLearn Latin America Ltda. (ILLA), the Latin American subsidiary of IntraLearn Software Corporation, supplier of configurable e-Learning software applications to the mid-market, announced that IntraLearn has been selected by the Contraloría General de la República de Colombia to supply the Learning Management System (LMS) to manage online courses as part of the overall Campus Virtual initiative. The IntraLearn LMS is part of the much larger project awarded to IntraLearn partner InfoGroup of Bogotá, Colombia and the product is being installed and supported by IntraLearn’s Venezuelan Authorized IntraLearn Reseller, NetPeople.

Alfredo Leone, IntraLearn Latin America’s Director said "We are very excited to have been chosen by the Contraloría General to supply the LMS for the Campus Virtual initiative." "We understand that although the IntraLearn product is a powerful solution, it’s the reputations and local strengths our partners bring that made the overall solution so appealing."

The Campus Virtual initiative, called "Escuela de Altos Estudios de Control Fiscal de la Contraloría General de la República de Colombia," is initially expected to offer courses to 4,000 public employees of Colombia’s State Treasury and is expected to grow to 8,000 within three years with the addition of other federal employees and private citizens.

"InfoGroup is excited to have been awarded such a large and important project by the Colombian government." Said Martha Abondano, Director of InfoGroup Ltda. "Although online learning is just one part of a larger initiative, IntraLearn’s security features, scalability and local support combined with the ease of integration with other applications made it critical to the overall award."

Jose Luis Pascual, Consulting Partner of NetPeople said "We are so proud to have both IntraLearn Software Corp. and InfoGroup entrust NetPeople to provide product installation, customization, maintenance and training for this important project. We are truly committed to this project, since it’s the first real government initiative on e-learning in Colombia based on standards, and a very clear Latin-American reference on federal legislation through e-learning. Excellent team work and great products are the key elements on this project."

The Contraloría General de la República de Colombia is the official government body in charge of managing the finances for the country. The Campus Virtual will be implemented for the Colombian government by a consortium of companies led by InfoGroup.
