INTELLITOOLS EXPANDS AND REORGANIZES SALES TEAM, BOOSTING EFFORTS IN K-8 EDUCATION

Petaluma, CA, January 22, 2003 - IntelliTools®, Inc. (www.intellitools.com), for over 20 years the pioneer in learning solutions for the diverse classroom, is pleased to announce that Armin Sebran has joined IntelliTools as Central Regional Sales Manager, and that it has expanded and reorganized its sales team to better serve its key markets.

Armin joins IntelliTools to serve Texas and key south-central states in K-8 education sales, and will be based out of Dallas, Texas. He brings with him extensive knowledge of the K-12 education market, with significant experience assisting school districts with the integration of both hardware and curriculum solutions into their school programs. He has worked directly with curriculum directors, department heads, administrators, and librarians in the south-central region, with positions at Highsmith Inc., Schoolvision Inc. (partnering with Apple Computer), and JWP Information Services.

“We are delighted to have Armin join our team,” noted IntelliTools president Ben Cushman. “His depth of understanding of educators’ needs means that he can be immediately beneficial to our customers in this region and help us best meet the needs of our growing customer base.”

In tandem with the addition of Armin to the staff, IntelliTools has reorganized its sales team, recognizing the need to segment its sales efforts for both its historical customer base in assistive technology and special education and its growing customer base in general education. IntelliTools has named Ann Olsen Director of Education Sales and Beth Davis Director of Assistive Technology Sales.

Ann, who has been with IntelliTools for three years, had been managing direct sales in the eastern half of the country. She has been presenting, training and working with teachers on integrating technology into the curriculum since 1985. Beth has been with IntelliTools since the fall of 2000, and before this promotion was sales and service manager. She will continue to be responsible for managing customer service and sales administration. Beth’s past experience includes sales and sales management in both business and consumer markets.
