E-learning solution provider IntraLearn attains Front Runner status.

IntraLearn Software Corp., a provider of Microsoft technology-based, turnkey, e-learning solutions, announced that with its launch of an application suite using Microsoft SQL Server 2005, it has earned Front Runner status from Microsoft Corp.

Front Runner status is awarded to ISVs that offer applications based on SQL Server 2005. IntraLearn is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner with a Microsoft Competency in ISV/Software Solutions.

"The Front Runner program was designed to provide our partners with the best development environment possible and give them the technical and marketing tools they need to be successful over the long term."

"IntraLearn is excited to support SQL Server 2005 because it’s a great platform and a great leap forward," said Greg Aspen, chief architect at IntraLearn.
