The purpose of this paper is to describe the work related to the customisation, the trial and the evaluation of an innovative e-learning platform for manager upgrade in Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), in the framework of the EC funded project named InTraServ and its re-engineering process, aimed at adopting distributed services in the framework of another EC funded project named Diogene. The presented e-learning environment includes several state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies such as: metadata and ontologies for knowledge manipulation, fuzzy learner modelling, intelligent course tailoring, case based reasoning, business games and simulation tools. The proposed evolution is based on the distribution of working tasks among content provider services, content discovery services, content brokering services, training services, curriculum vitae searching services and collaboration services.
