HAWTHORNE, N.Y., Jan. 15, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- SmartPros Ltd. (AMEX:PED), a
leader in the field of accredited professional education and corporate training,
announced today that it has begun selling its new iReflect(tm) Training Software
to corporations and organizations. iReflect enables companies to easily create,
deliver and evaluate custom video role-play training scenarios with all of its
employees. iReflect was jointly developed by SmartPros' wholly owned subsidiary
Skye Multimedia in conjunction with Education and Training Systems International
(ETSI), a leading educational producer of training material for pharmaceutical,
biotech and medical device companies.

"iReflect empowers corporations and organizations to cost-effectively and
efficiently train and improve employee presentation and interaction without
limit to geographic areas," said Skye Multimedia President Seth Oberman. "Team
members become effective and confident at delivering a company's core messaging
by recording, watching and assessing their own physical presentations and
interactions with others."

Incorporating advanced instructional design principles and utilizing audio and
video recording technology in an intuitive interface, iReflect allows companies
to quickly build training and practice modules that increase knowledge and
awareness across an entire organization. iReflect is available for licensing in
both Internet and Intranet platforms.

The range of applications and uses for iReflect are broad. For example, programs
can be implemented for sales, customer service, help desks, marketing, product
development, human resource departments and virtually any individual or team
that interacts with clients, customers, contractors and even other employees.

"Managers and trainers can set up unique scenarios and conduct centralized
evaluations of geographically dispersed employees via iReflect's Web-based or
optional corporate Intranet installed application server," said Andy Gunning,
Vice President of ETSI. "iReflect's architecture and licensing models are
designed to meet the needs of both small and large companies."

SmartPros and ETSI recently licensed iReflect to a major healthcare company that
will use iReflect as part of its training for its U.S. sales and customer
service teams.

"It is a pleasure to announce the first sale for iReflect Training Software,"
said Allen Greene, SmartPros Chairman and CEO. "SmartPros believes iReflect is a
good fit for its existing product lines, and also creates new opportunities for
us in the training market. iReflect can realistically be used by any department
of any company that requires continuous training."
