The judging panel consisted of respected professors and leaders from academia, the eLearning industry, and corporate training sectors. The panel highly recommended dp's concept of "Perfect Blend", which brings together innovative technology, tutors, content, and students in order to create a convenient and efficient way of language training.

According to the judging panel, "To establish a tutoring team with more than 1,200 tutors is not an easy job; to manage these tutors to follow standardized process and yet ensure the quality of each sent email would even be more difficult. We are absorbed by dp's blended solution, not only in terms of its rich curriculum resources, but in its mature technology of eLearning."

Armin Hopp, Founder and President of dp, comments, "We are delighted to receive this award. In an increasingly globalised corporate environment, the need for business-language skills as effective communication is more crucial to business growth than ever before. Multilingual communication can be a real asset within all activities, not only for sales and marketing.

Effective cross-border communication can help solve problems, avoid delays, and enhance productivity across all sectors. Although English retains its leading role as the world business language, other languages can also provide companies with a competitive advantage."
