Bloomington, IN - September 9th, 2002 - ENVISAGE, a Bloomington, Indiana based technology firm announces the launch of Acadis™. Designed specifically for Law Enforcement academies, Acadis™ automates critical operational functions and provides a robust platform for growth.

"Since 9/11, law enforcement training needs are exceeding most academies operational resources, Acadis™ will allow academies to manage more students without significant increases in administrative overhead." stated Kevin Triplehorn, ENVISAGE's CEO "The problem that is being faced is how to expand training exponentially without significantly increasing costs, ENVISAGE has come up with a powerful solution for accomplishing that after working closely with the United States Border Patrol Academy and the United States Immigration Officers Academy."

Built upon a scalable Oracle® database and accessible via a standard internet browser, the current version of Acadis™ automates student record keeping, student reporting, electronic grade book functions, and facilitates administrative workflow. Acadis™ modules scheduled for release soon include classroom and resource scheduling, inventory management and instructor qualification tracking. In addition, Acadis™ enables academies to leverage distributed education via a comprehensive Learning Management System that allows students to take some classes and exams online. "This is a great boon for today's academies as they cannot build classrooms fast enough to accommodate the vast influx of new trainees. eLearning allows for educational content to be delivered via the internet, enhancing the consistency of learning and cutting down on travel and overhead costs. In addition, students can be tracked as they access the courses allowing instructors to gauge the pedagogical impact of the learning materials." Stated Sam Sipes, Acadis™ Product Manager.

"September 11th changed our law enforcement environment forever" says Ari Vidali, ENVISAGE Chairman "It is vital that training academies apply technology to their strategic leverage points in order to manage through the crisis that is being caused by resource constrains. By doing so, they will be able to achieve optimal facility utilization and insure that well trained law enforcement personnel are available for the defense of our homeland."

The Acadis™ modular architecture allows academies to customize the software to their needs and to implement modules, as they need them. The foundation of the platform is the Academy Management Engine (AME), which functions as a student information and electronic grade book system. Additional modules that expand the functionality of the Academy Management Engine are; Acadis™ Automated Scheduling, Inventory Management, Learning Management System, Time & Attendance and Automated Testing.
