Intellexis to distribute PricewaterhouseCoopers In$ider e-learning programme London, 19 July 2002: Intellexis (LSE: ILX) has signed a distribution agreement with PricewaterhouseCoopers that will allow it to sell In$ider, an e-learning programme developed by PricewaterhouseCoopers to provide training on derivatives. The agreement builds on the relationship that was first announced in February 2002, when Intellexis was named as a distributor for PricewaterhouseCoopers International Accounting Standards e-learning programme, P2P IAS - from principle to practice. "Derivatives have now become a key tool in the management of financial risk," said Chris Jones, Partner of Financial Risk Management at PricewaterhouseCoopers. "In$ider is an ideal solution for enabling organisations to train many staff quickly and cost-effectively in an area that will significantly impact the business." In$ider uses an innovative game-play approach to help people understand derivatives. Set in the future, users join the finance team of intergalactic mining company Gyronortex, where they are required to master the basics of hedging, swaps and options. The course is used by organisations such as Thunderbird - The American Graduate School of International Management, and by the Bank of America, where it was described as "innovative, engaging and most importantly... interactive." Intellexis CEO Ken Scott, said: "In$ider is an award-winning product, and one which fits well into our portfolio of financial and business skills e-learning courses." Notes for Editors About In$ider In$ider is a four part learning solution comprising four self-paced multimedia CD-ROMs on financial products and how they are used by corporates to hedge interest rate and currency risk. In$ider represents a new way of learning, immersing its users in a virtual 3D experiential learning environment. Through an event-driven simulation, In$ider develops the skills and knowledge needed to solve 'real' derivative- based business problems, thereby enabling users to translate complex abstract concepts into tangible, memorable experiences.
