Smartforce, the e-learning company, has launched an e-business portfolio that includes more than 400 hours of formal instruction and covers eight independent industry certifications.

The product, which was launched at the Internet World show in Dublin yesterday, will cost the company £8 million (€10.16 million) in content development and marketing.

The portfolio is designed to help companies retool their entire range of business processes for the Internet, from marketing, to finance, sales, IT and development.

It includes Web-based seminars (both live and archived), workgroups, live 24x7 online mentoring and chat sessions hosted by certified professionals.
