MantaNow! iSeries Training Anywhere, Anytime

June 1, 2004

Manta Technologies Inc. announces a major enhancement to MantaNow, Manta’s Internet-based training delivery system. MantaNow provides global access to Manta's complete iSeries Training Library. Previously, you could purchase only a three-day license for individual courses to be delivered via MantaNow. With the latest enhancements, all Manta products — including series, combination packs, and the complete library — can be purchased for delivery via MantaNow. You have a full year to complete your training. In addition, multiple-user licenses are now supported.

MantaNow offers several benefits not found with other training delivery systems:

• Courses are available to everyone in your company, regardless of location. All they need is an Internet connection.
• There is no installation or setup. We take care of everything.
• Course updates are immediately available to students. In other words, you receive free, immediate maintenance.
• If we add a course to a product you ordered, you have immediate access to the new course at no extra charge.
• Prices are attractive, starting at roughly 60% of the CD price for the first year, 40% for the second year, 25% for the third year, and 15% for every year after that.

In other respects, the online courses are identical to Manta’s CD-based courses, including the intuitive interface, our exclusive iSeries simulator, and computer-graded Competency Exams. The only difference is that you take the courses over the Internet, anywhere and anytime.

Student administration capabilities are also available. These let an organization keep track of each student’s course progress and performance on Competency Exams.
