(NASDAQ: VRTY), a leading provider of enterprise software that enables organizations to maximize the return on their intellectual capital investment, today announced that its education programs on Verity K2 advanced search, classification and recommendation software can now be delivered live via the Web by Verity training instructors.

The new Verity K2 "Education Anywhere" program is available via the company's virtual classroom, a live, online learning environment, as well as from its physical classrooms located around the world.

Nagdev, Verity's senior vice president of professional services. "Our virtual classroom delivers the experience of our education centers around the globe, while offering our customers the convenience of learning in the comfort of their own office, according to their work schedules."

The K2 education courses are divided into four-hour modules, scheduled so participants can allocate time to take a class, as well as perform their job duties, during a workday. The four main courses, offered at various times of the week, cover development of Verity K2 applications and understanding K2 technologies for non-technical personnel involved in the deployment and implementation of the software.
