Nexient’s Enterprise Business Architecture Program first in industry to be recognized by Canadian university.

Toronto, ON - June 23, 2008 - Nexient Learning Inc. (NEX: NXN.H), Canada's largest corporate skills development company, today announced that its Enterprise Business Architecture (EBA) program has been recognized by one of Canada’s leading postsecondary institutions - McMaster University. Developed in partnership with Chartwell Inc., the EBA program teaches public sector personnel business architecture methods that enable them to plan an efficient, outcomes-based enterprise that meets the evolving needs of Canadians.

Business Architecture, including the use of public sector reference models, provides a structured framework for business transformation and change. In the public sector, EBA methods support the creation of a more efficient, more effective, citizen-centric enterprise. Nexient’s EBA program takes a disciplined approach to the skills and knowledge necessary to align programs, services and processes with strategic goals, as well as providing decision-makers with the information they need to direct human, financial, and technical resources more effectively.

“As governments design and measure the impact of programs and services to citizens, there is a crucial need for terminology and methods that will support collaboration within and across jurisdictions," stated Scott Williams, Chief Learning Officer at Nexient.

Roy Wiseman, the CIO of the Region of Peel and a national champion of enterprise business architecture, said: “Governments across Canada are working toward the adoption of standard reference models and tools to define, plan and manage the business of government. A training program like Nexient’s will help governments apply and adopt the core reference models and best-practices more consistently and successfully within their own jurisdiction, while also providing a common framework for better collaboration among all governments in Canada.”

“Nexient and Chartwell bring unique strengths to this partnership and program,” said Jeff Smith, CEO of Chartwell. “Nexient is a leading provider of learning solutions in Canada, while Chartwell is a leader in enterprise transformation consulting. Together, we have created a program that is unique in Canada.”

The program being launched today is also recognized by one of Canada’s leading universities. “McMaster University has worked with Nexient for a number of years to bring best practices in Project Management and Business Analysis to Canadian learners. We're very pleased to be doing the same in Enterprise Business Architecture," said Tracey Taylor-O'Reilly, Director of the Centre for Continuing Education. "The creation of the Nexient training program around this emerging discipline will be good for learners, good for their employers, and good for the profession.”
