In this paper, e-learning meets decision support in enterprises’ business practice. This presentation is based on an on-line e-learning system named DaMiT for the domain of knowledge discovery and data mining. The DaMiT system was primarily developed for technology enhanced learning in German academia. It is now on the cusp of entering training on demand in enterprises. Stand-alone e-learning seems quite unrealistic and does not meet the needs of industries. It is very unlikely that employees fully loaded with work take a detour to study theories of whatever sort. More likely, they are willing to engage in studies whenever the need derives directly from their practical work. In those cases, they might even be willing to dive into theories. How to dovetail e-learning and enterprise business applications, such that both sides draw a proper benefit?
