Torrance, CA—September 12, 2006 – Xplor International, the worldwide electronic document systems association and IMERGE Consulting, Inc. today announced a partnership that supplements Xplor’s Document University. Announced this summer, the Xplor Document University is an ongoing program of technical, executive and professional development programs and products designed to provide members and the electronic document industry with educational tools needed to excel in today’s professional environment.

In addition, sales and sales support individuals within the supplier community will find the course valuable as well.
