Pastiche by Xyleme wins Brandon Hall Gold for Best Advance in Mobile Learning Technology

End-to-end solution for rapidly deploying interactive and privately branded tablet apps adds series of new features every 12 weeks

Boulder, CO (March 18, 2012) - Xyleme, Inc., the leader in standards-based learning solutions, won the prestigious Brandon Hall Gold award for best advance in mobile learning technology. 

Xyleme submitted the winning entry Pastiche®, an early leader in the iPad learning field. Pastiche allows users to rapidly assemble existing textbooks, interactive multi-media, test prep, and moment-of-need support materials and publish them on-demand to any number of customizable and privately branded iPad or Kindle Fire apps. It is powered by a single-source development platform that allows for rapid creation and reuse of interactive content. 

Now in its 18th year, the Brandon Hall Excellence Awards are given to companies that have successfully developed and deployed tools that have helped companies achieve measurable results. A panel of veteran, independent senior judges evaluated all entries, along with Brandon Hall Group's industry expert analysts and leadership. 

Mike Cooke, CEO of Brandon Hall Group, said "This was the year in which technology providers and their clients have been able to transform the power of mobile, social, talent, learning, sales and marketing technologies, with proven, validated results.  Most impressive to our judges was an underlying theme around collaborative relationships, a deep understanding of client needs and how technology can be leveraged to create opportunities and operating efficiencies for organizations of all sizes.  I am proud to announce these first-rate solution providers as award winners in the most competitive year yet."

This award-winning Pastiche solution continues to rapidly release new app versions. The latest update for Pastiche 2.2 comes only eight weeks after the launch of Pastiche 2.0, sticking to Xyleme's agile development schedule of new releases at least every three months for all products.  This new version includes:

• Content Licensing: license keys can be created and associated to specific books thus restricting access to key holders only.
• Encryption: full AES-256 encryption of all content, including video and audio files. The files are decrypted on the fly by Pastiche as they are accessed.
• Supplement Support: books can now include PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents which are opened within the app.
• Update Notifications: users receive a notification whenever a new version of a downloaded book is available.
