Oslo, 05 May 2011 - Edvantage group, Europe's leading provider of cloud-based
learning and performance solutions, has been awarded a contract to provide e-

solution. Campus is designed to make competence development within the state
sector more effective, focused and strategically-oriented. The courses will be
