The Xyleme system will allow BPP to publish its intellectual assets in a wide variety of formats, whereas previously they were only available in print. The new system will materially increase the speed and lower the costs of producing existing student materials as well as enabling BPP to create new innovative product ranges.

Andy Green, Managing Director of Intellego said: 'We're delighted to be working with an industry leader such as BPP on this forward thinking and important project. Innovation in the management and production of intellectual assets will be key in realising the next wave of market growth for professional education services. Clearly BPP recognise this and are positioning themselves accordingly.

'The Xyleme system will be of interest to other publishers and information businesses, as it will enable them to manage and produce new courses faster and at lower cost than using traditional methods. It can also be used by companies that have implemented enterprise content management systems such as EMC's Documentum solution.

'This new contract is fantastic news for Intellego. As companies are now increasingly seeking to co-ordinate learning materials production across the enterprise, we anticipate there to be substantial interest in our solutions, including Xyleme.'

John Yates, Commercial Operations Director of BPP added: 'An XML LCMS will enable us to customise our materials in real-time in response to client requirements. Being able to simultaneously publish to print,e-book, online course and mobile technologies will open new markets and modes of study. We're tremendously excited by the potential across the business.'
