MUMBAI, India, November 22, 2010 - Tata Interactive Systems (TIS), a global leader in innovative learning
solutions, won a coveted Brandon Hall silver award for excellence in the
Custom Content category.

The Lifeboat Assistant program developed by TIS for Holland America Line
(HAL) won the Brandon Hall Silver Award 2010 in the Custom Content category.
A "novel" concept by TIS - a graphic novel, in fact - this program aims to
increase the knowledge of lifeboat assistants on operating life-saving
equipment, and in the process, improving performance while executing
survival-skill procedures. Tata Interactive Systems' win was announced on
Thursday, November 4. The winners are listed at www.brandon-hall.com.

Jack Frazier, Deputy Director at HAL, said, "We decided that we would use
a 'story' to teach this concept, after some discussions we adopted the
graphic novel approach as the best option - I am thrilled that it has really
turned out well. This approach completely engages the learner and keeps them
interested. It's an honor to develop a program that is recognized as being
well done."

The Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Awards are presented annually by
Brandon Hall Research, one of the leading research firms in training and
development. Now in its sixteenth year, the Awards program showcases
exceptional work in the use of learning technology.

"These winning entries are very impressive," said Brandon Hall, Ph.D.,
chairman of the Awards program. "We are thrilled to recognize innovative
learning of such high quality."

Entries were submitted in the categories of Best Custom Content, Best
Innovation in Learning Technology, Best Learning Game, Best Learning Team,
Best Results of a Learning Program, Best Use of Blended Learning, Best Use of
Games for Learning, Best Use of Mobile Learning, Best Use of Video for
Learning, Best Use of Virtual Worlds for Learning, Best Use of Web 2.0 Tools
for Learning, and Best Integration of Learning and Talent Management. A total
of 214 entries were originally submitted. The entries were evaluated by a
