The Board  of Intellego,  the AIM  traded e-learning  and  compliance courseware  solutions   business  is   delighted  to   announce   the acquisition of e-learning business Copia Limited ('Copia').

Copia produces  award  winning  e-learning solutions.    It  supplies e-learning design & development, consultancy, multimedia services and web design & development.  Copia has in-depth specialist knowledge of the retail  environment  and  particular expertise  in  EPoS,  retail operations, processes and customer services. Intellego and Copia have worked  together  regularly for eighteen months and have been successful when making joint pitches to customers.

At the European Retail  Awards in June 2006  a major UK retailer  won the first  prize  for  the  'Best  use  of  Technology  for  Employee Development', for  the  success  of their  EPoS  e-learning  solution produced by Copia which  was used to train  over 25,000 retail  staff during the implementation of a new electronic point of sale system. The project reduced training time for new employees from 14 hours  to around six hours.

Following the acquisition, Intellego will have greater resources  and skills allowing it to  offer a wider range  of services and  generate more added value to both existing and potential customers.   Alistair Marshall, the Managing  Director and majority  shareholder of  Copia, will also be joining Intellego's executive team. Commenting on the acquisition, Andy Green, Group Managing Director of Intellego, said, 'We are delighted to have made this acquisition.  We believe that it will have a  positive impact on the enlarged  Company and add significant value to our customer offering. We have a history of trading successfully together and this move is a logical step  for both parties'.
