Centra Partners with Didasko Limited to Provide Online Collaboration Solutions to Educational and Corporate Customers in Australia and New Zealand

Business Wire, August 17, 2004

LEXINGTON, Mass. -- Centra (NASDAQ: CTRA), a leading provider of specialized application software and services for online business collaboration, today announced it has signed a partnership agreement with Didasko Limited (ASX: DID), an Australian business focused on the high growth education services sector. Under the terms of the agreement, Didasko will co-brand and resell Centra's online collaboration solutions to educational institutions and corporate enterprises predominantly in Australia and New Zealand. Didasko will provide interactive real-time virtual classroom learning for rural and outback communities and enable organizations to provide more effective online collaboration and training solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses.

The partnership, the only one of its type in the region, enables Didasko to resell Centra via an Application Service Provider (ASP) model through its recently acquired state-of-the-art data center based in Perth.

"As the market-leading vendor with the most robust and flexible online collaboration software available, Centra is the obvious partner for Didasko," said Andrew Horton, Didasko founder and CEO. "The endless possibilities created through the deployment of Centra's solutions in education will influence and shape the future of learning in a manner similar to the impact of airline travel on tourism."

Didasko will officially launch its Centra-powered online collaboration solution to the market in early August, which will immediately benefit its current list of national clients, including the University and TAFE sector, Coca-Cola Amatil, Priceline and Spotless.

"The demand we have seen in the last year proves that Australia and New Zealand represent a valuable market opportunity for Centra's online collaboration solutions," said Nigel Wilson, country manager for Centra Australia and New Zealand. "Working with Didasko, a market leader for educational and training services, will help Centra reach a much broader base of educational and corporate customers."
