OTTAWA, Aug. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Halogen Software (TSX: HGN) has expanded its strategic alliances program with additional learning content partnerships that give customers a greater selection of courseware to support their unique learning and development needs. Customers can license elearning courseware and special content bundles directly from Halogen, giving them a convenient single point of contact for contracting, implementing and supporting their learning and development programs.

Halogen's elearning content partnership program updates include:

• A new partnership with Cegos, a global leader in corporate training and development, gives customers hundreds of elearning courses in 17 international languages.
• Expanded Partnerships with ej4, Vado and 360training to give Halogen customers direct access to extensive catalogs of elearning courseware.
• An extended partnership with Skillsoft providing Halogen customers ongoing single point access to industry-leading elearning courseware.
