The acquisition of Atlantic Link supports Kaplan IT Learning's strategy of providing a variety of quality training products, services, and solutions across a global market. "We are very excited to join forces with Atlantic Link", says Brian Sholly, President of Kaplan IT Learning.

"This rare opportunity will allow Kaplan to expand our market presence globally and offer a much larger selection of products. Our clients are very interested in creating professional training lessons for soft skills as well as IT-application training, so bringing Atlantic Link on board will help meet their needs."

Mike Alcock, Managing Director of Atlantic Link says, "We are delighted to become part of Kaplan IT Learning. Our complementary product suites will offer our customers a complete solution for all of their eLearning needs, with the strength and reassurance of the Kaplan brand behind them."

The combined portfolio offered by Kaplan IT Learning includes the authoring tool STT Trainer, STT InfoShare, and PerformIT, and it now encompasses the Atlantic Link collaborative rapid-eLearning product suite.
