Assignment 3 BetaLearning
Context
BetaLearning is a new product area within an established ICT company.
The product area – an e-learning package – can be sold to the customers
directly, or it could be kept on BetaLearning’s servers (ASP solution). The
package is offered as a service, customized for each client, based on a
generic platform.
The target customers for BetaLearning are global industrial companies such
as: Atlas Copco AB, Volvo Truck AB, ABB AB, with a particular focus on
training needs among sales forces and service engineers. Typically those
companies use BetaLearning’s E-learning tool for increasing key
personnel’s product knowledge when a new product is to be launched.

Assignment 3 BetaLearning, cont.
Challenge
The challenge BetaLearning face are to identify the value this product
creates for the customers and to establish corresponding price models. As
the service is new to the market, no established praxis regarding price
models exists, and BetaLearning knows that the initial decision they make
will be very hard to change in the future.
Your task is to act as a business development consultant for BetaLearning
by answering the following questions:
• What is the value created for the customer?
• What price model/strategy should BetaLearning use in it’s offering?
