Sparta Systems' TrackWise(R) Solution Delivers Workforce Training and Learning
Initiatives for Cangene Corporation
Enterprise Quality Management Solution Enables Self-Directed Employee
Education for Leading Biopharmaceutical Organization

HOLMDEL, N.J., July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Sparta Systems, Inc., a leading
provider of enterprise quality and compliance management software,today
announced that Cangene Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company that
manufactures therapeutic antibody products, has deployed Sparta's
TrackWise((R)) Enterprise Quality Management software to deliver its learning
and training initiatives across its manufacturing operations in Canada and the
United States. After a successful pilot project in certain departments,
Cangene is implementing TrackWise Training Manager(TM) as a practical and
innovative training management system for all levels of the organization.

The nature of the current global economy has challenged leading
biopharmaceutical organizations to find new ways to innovate in the industry.
Employee training and learning has become far more than a routine aspect of
daily operations at life sciences companies -- the need to educate the
workforce is now a crucial component to maximizing productivity and ensuring
compliance. Knowing this, Cangene, which maintains state-of-the-art
manufacturing facilities in North America, identified the need for a software
solution that would enable it to provide a training framework relevant to a
skilled, motivated and diverse workforce while supporting future growth and
long-term business initiatives.

Cangene selected TrackWise Training Manager as an enterprise-wide system that
could be tailored to Cangene's specific needs to support employees'
self-directed learning initiatives, cross-training and career path
development, as well as development of fundamental transferrable skills. The
TrackWise solution is enabling the company to manage training curriculums and
requirements by job function, automate scheduling of training tasks, track
employee training history and qualification status and provide various other
key functions that Cangene found critical to the success of its broader
employee learning programs.

"Today's biopharmaceutical environment is extremely demanding," said Doug
Cable, Senior Director of Human Resources, Cangene Corporation. "With
TrackWise software, our employees are actively involved in their own training,
while the system records all training information for quality and regulatory
purposes. Management and employees have the ability to map out individual
growth paths as they progress within the company and to develop skills that
will serve them and Cangene in the years to come."

Cangene's implementation of TrackWise software as a training tool was honored
with a TrackWise Innovation Award at Sparta's Seventh Annual TrackWise User
Conference.

"The training functionality built into our TrackWise enterprise quality
management software is proving to be a critical tool for organizations in
regulated industries, and we continuously see ways in which companies like
Cangene have implemented the software for their own tailored training
initiatives," said Mike Jovanis, vice president, Product Management, Sparta
Systems. "We plan to work closely with the company as it expands its use of
the software to further leverage its investment in TrackWise as a key
enterprise solution."
