From the Paper:

"While corporate America and American universities increase the market for e-learning, other potential business opportunities exist throughout the world. Many overseas markets remain virtually untapped. As many businesses have begun sending workers overseas as a result of corporate globalization, the need to find a platform on which to train them has been a boost to the e-learning market. Click2learn was one of the first companies to break into the market overseas by signing and agreement with CSS Group, a Russian technology distributor, to bring Click2learn's e-learning platform into the Russian market. This provides a significant advantage and cost savings to the Russian companies by allowing them to skip all of the previous training technologies and move straight into the more advanced e-learning market."
