An agreement with Pearson Technology Group (PTG), publisher of Cisco Press, is enabling SkillSoft to deliver selected Cisco Press titles to its Books24x7 customers within the ITPro collection. The agreement adds a third type of Cisco’s authorised self-study content to SkillSoft’s overall solution, which already includes Cisco-related e-learning and Live Learning courses.

With a collection of over 25,000 professional digital book titles, SkillSoft’s Books24x7 offers an on-demand e-reference service that allows users to search, browse, read, organise, recommend and share information. ITPro is the Books24x7 flagship collection, providing technology professionals access to over 9,000 IT resources. Select Cisco Press books now available live in ITPRo include ‘Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, Part 1’, ‘Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security’ and ‘Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Networks’.

John Ambrose, SkillSoft’s senior vice president of strategy, corporate development and emerging business, said: “Cisco Press titles are often requested by our customers. They are clearly a leading resource for networking and IT professionals. Adding Cisco Press to ITPro supports our objective to continue providing the industry with the most powerful on-demand e-reference resources for the enterprise IT market.”
