THE EDCOMM GROUP OFFERS "SWITCH FOR COMPLIANCE EXCELLENCE" NO-COST COMPLIANCE TRAINING SOLUTION TO BANKS OBLIGATED BY COMPETITORS

(NEW YORK, NY) – April 28, 2006

In response to the hundreds of banks that expressed a desire to provide their employees with Compliance Training through The Edcomm Group’s Banker’s Academy, Edcomm is offering to switch any bank from its current compliance training vendor to The Edcomm Group’s Banker’s Academy at no cost to the bank.

Dr. Linda Eagle, President of The Edcomm Group, said, "We call this our 'Switch for Compliance Excellence Program.' It’s for the banks that want Edcomm's far superior training program, but feel that their budgetary hands are tied because of an existing contractual commitment.

“We want to enable every bank to provide the very best compliance training to their people by delivering our Focus on Compliance program. If you’re working with another vendor — BAI, BankersEdge, Bankers Systems, BTCC, BVS, Compliance Coach, Digital University, Harland, Kirchman, Sage Online Learning, Thomson NETg, TRC Interactive, Trinity Workplace Learning, Sheshunoff, Wolters Kluwer, or anyone else — we will switch you over at no additional cost to your bank.”

“Also at no cost, we will migrate all historical compliance training records into Learning Link®, our learning management system, for seamless record-keeping and reporting.”

Eagle explained a few of the differences between Edcomm’s Compliance Training and the products and services offered by other vendors. “Our content is superior and our service is superior, but it doesn’t stop there. When we sign up a bank, it’s their choice to renew. We don’t demand a multi-year contract. Banks stay with Edcomm because they want to, not because they have to!”

Eagle said that in the last six months, over 50 banks have switched to Edcomm’s Banker’s Academy when their obligations with competitors expired.

“Why have them wait?” said Eagle. “We want them to enjoy the benefits of our outstanding training design, content, testing, tracking, reporting and of course, our hallmark customer service. Now that it won’t cost one penny more, there is no need to postpone the move to Edcomm and Banker’s Academy.”

Dr. Eagle is frequently invited to speak on a range of topics including distance learning, adult education, compliance training, teller training, ethics training, technological advances in training and education, and business solutions. Linda’s educational background in psychology and communications and her experience in organizational consulting give her unique insight into the practical application of training and communication programs that provide measurable benefits.
