Savannah, GA - October 11, 2004 - OnPoint Digital, Inc. ("OnPoint"), an e-learning solutions developer and services company, today introduced 3PTools^TM, a desktop applet designed to streamline and automate the content creation process for Subject Matter Experts who commonly use popular third party tools (a.k.a. "3PTs") to build their online courseware.  The OnPoint 3PTools applet delivers a broad range of functionality to non-programmers including a 3PT Selection Wizard, a consolidated 3PT Tool Bar, a 3PT Configuration Wizard and seamless integration with LMS/LCMS platforms for automated content deployments.

"3PTools rolls course authoring experience, technical expertise and documented best practices into one dynamic, flexible package that simplifies the content creation process for any e-learning SME," said Robert Gadd, OnPoint's cofounder and President. "The 3PTools applet is a direct reflection of our own experiences developing custom content for our customers using popular third party content creation/conversion tools available out in the broader marketplace. With 3PTools, users can now configure, generate and deploy their content in a fraction of the time it normally takes to properly configure and operate these tools effectively."

The initial release of 3PTools provides support for a variety of applications from leading learning industry vendors including Techsmith (SnagIt^TM, Camtasia Studio^TM), Qarbon (ViewletBuilder^TM and ViewletPresenter^TM), Macromedia (Flash^TM, Dreamweaver^TM and Captivate^TM), Impatica (Impatica for PowerPoint^TM), Articulate (Articulate Presenter^TM), Inzone (ClicktoConvert^TM) and Multimedia Design Corporation (WebPower^TM) as well as standard web outputs created using Microsoft Office^TM. SMEs can also use the 3PTools applet to batch deploy web-ready static and rich media asset files like images, audio clips and video clips from other media with SCORM-compliant XML manifests files that can be processed by other third party LMS/LCMS platforms.

"Our initial tests with 3PTools have proven quite favorable and we're very excited about the tremendous time and effort this applet saves us in our content creation and deployment processes," said Murray Wilson, President of TPS Consulting, LLC, a services consultancy for the broadcast media industry.  "The fact that 3PTools is fully integrated with the OnPoint Learning & Performance Management suite further streamlines our deployment process methodology and ensures we can make the most out of the rapid courseware development services model we've implemented to support tier one customers."
