Ottawa, Ontario, Canada - December 16, 2009. Dual Code Inc., a leading developer of eLearning solutions, was awarded top honors by Ottawa technology leaders at the 2009 Lead to Win program.

Lead to Win, a business development program sponsored by the City of Ottawa, Carleton University, Ontario’s Talent First Network and OCRI, was established to identify key technology businesses positioned to generate the next wave of knowledge jobs in Canada’s capital region. Each company that applies for the program is graded by a board of technology leaders on key attributes such as customer value, competitiveness, partner value, financial plan, strength of its core team, and potential for job creation.

"Dual Code is a shining example of a local technology startup imminent to become a global leader in its industry" stated Carleton Professor and Director of the Lead to Win program Tony Bailetti. "Their value proposition and competitive differentiators, which were vetted by a distinguished panel of judges, attest that Dual Code is clearly one of the region’s top technology business up-and-comers and expected to create an important number of local knowledge jobs over the coming years."

Dual Code’s innovative eLearning solution helps clients strengthen their brand by standardizing their training program across the organization and ensuring the instructional message is consistent for all learners, regardless of their location.

Dual Code’s online Corporate University solution and training courses eliminate logistical problems associated with conventional, face-to-face training by allowing participants to learn at their convenience, without the presence of an instructor or supervisor. This fully hosted solution is provided as a subscription-based service, alleviating the client’s burden of purchasing, installing, configuring and maintaining the hardware equipment or software application, all-the-while allowing them to realize savings of 40% to 60% on their annual training budget.

"Dual Code is proud to be part of this excellent program" stated Luc Richard, President & CEO of Dual Code. "To be in the same elite group Nakina Systems, Liquid Computing and Purple Forge were just a few years ago provides further evidence that Dual Code’s business model and value proposition positions us to become a global leader of innovative eLearning solutions."
