Kaplan's SaaS offering simplifies the purchasing process for companies looking to benefit from Atlantic Link solutions. Organisations will have fast, reliable, and secure access to Atlantic Link collaborative authoring applications via the web and without the requirement to install hardware, charter IT resources, or invest in capital expenditures to get started.

The Atlantic Link SaaS model is an internet-based, full-service deployment of the Atlantic Link applications for users paying a subscription. With SaaS, Atlantic Link clients will benefit from low monthly fees, instantaneous access to a complete eLearning solution, the flexibility of configuration, the ease of receiving software updates, and having the ability to access Atlantic Link software from anywhere in the world.

The SaaS model is being offered to all education institutes in Europe and to all companies in Ireland, Germany, and Scandinavia.

"Institutions of any size that are looking to acquire eLearning authoring tools will benefit from the ability to subscribe to Atlantic Link software and services via the web without having to make capital expenditures upfront or use IT resources at their organisations", says Brian Sholly, President of Kaplan IT Learning.

Atlantic Link products have been recognised in the learning industry with more than twenty awards, recently winning "Best in Class Technologies" gold awards for "Best Rapid eLearning Tool" and "Best Authoring Tool" for the LearnX 2010 Awards. Along with the new SaaS subscription model, Kaplan IT Learning will continue to offer clients the choice of purchasing licenses and hosted services models for acquiring Atlantic Link products.
