DigitalThink Builds Custom E-Learning Courseware for Allmerica's Advanced Technology Group

SAN FRANCISCO, August 18, 2003 - DigitalThink, Inc. (Nasdaq: DTHK), the leader in custom e-learning for Fortune 1000 companies, today announced that it will design, develop, and deliver custom online courseware to teach an advanced software methodology to Allmerica Financial Corporation (NYSE:AFC) employees, business partners and consultants.

The first course, which has been successfully rolled out, teaches a high-level understanding of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) methodology. Additional courses will cover productivity management and software engineering, and will replace current instructor-led training. The entire curriculum is targeted at improving the quality and efficiency of the software development cycle. "Our advanced technology team and partners have different levels of understanding of the CMM methodology and the related project management skills," said Greg Tranter, VP and CIO, Allmerica Financial and Allmerica Insurance Companies. "To best deliver a consistent approach to such a diverse, globally-located audience, we needed the kind of solution that DigitalThink offers - one that is online, available anywhere, anytime, and one that delivers training unique to each individual based on their initial understanding and speed of learning."

"By moving complex training online, Allmerica will have its learner population trained more consistently and efficiently, ultimately improving the productivity of its employees and top line performance," said Michael Pope, president and CEO of DigitalThink. "Custom e-learning continues to prove to be a better way to transfer increasingly complex knowledge across an extended enterprise."
