For half a decade, GeoMaestro has swept the category every year since the inception of the readers' choice awards program.

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of on-demand learning and performance platforms, announced today that its GeoMaestro LMS Suite has been named "Best Software as a Service Learning Management System" in the annual Best of E-Learning! Awards hosted by E-Learning! Magazine. GeoMaestro has swept the category every year since the inception of the awards program in 2005.

"The Best of E-Learning! Awards program is the only readers' choice awards in the market," said Catherine Upton, Group Publisher of E-Learning! Magazine. "Recognition of this type is increasingly important as more companies deploy e-learning initiatives to impact business and improve efficiencies."

In a recent poll of attendees at the E-Learning! Summit, 83% of respondents said they recommended e-learning solutions to peers over the last 12 months. And, 61% of respondents said "award recognition impacts their decision to consider or purchase from honored vendors."

"The Best of E-Learning! program offers professionals a reliable resource to learn from users and gather information that influences their future purchases," explained Upton.

The publication asked more than 50,000 e-learning professionals to share their opinions. Ballots were cast over the past 3 months by the readers of E-Learning! Magazine, e-zine, E-Learning! e-newsletter and E-Learning! Alert, as well as visitors to E-Learning!'s Web site.

"Our excitement grows each time we win this award. To be honored for an unprecedented fifth year by actual performance and learning technology users validates our commitment to customer satisfaction," said Frank Russell, president and CEO of GeoLearning. "This open vote enables the users of both the GeoLearning system and those of our competitors to cast a ballot. It's an important measure for the products in our industry. For us to come out on top again demonstrates that the usability and flexibility of our LMS and the superiority of GeoLearning's Software as a Service delivery model creates positive performance results for our customers."
