With a comprehensive learning solution, comprised of high-quality learning resources and flexible technology approaches, we help our customers achieve sustainable and measurable business results. These solutions are designed to support all levels of the organization and can easily be adapted to meet strategic business initiatives, on-demand information needs and individual job roles.
 

On the content side of our business, we focus on a variety of business, professional effectiveness, IT and compliance topics that we believe represent the critical skills required of employees in increasingly dynamic and complex work environments. We also provide informal learning products through our Books24x7 business unit that support “on demand” learning and daily information gathering needs. Our IT skills courses give learners the ability to gain the technical knowledge they need to perform their jobs. Our business skills courses (also known as soft skills courses) concentrate on the skills and knowledge that are relevant to various general competencies and functional responsibilities in today’s business organizations. These skills are important to a business professional’s ability to work effectively with business associates and customers, make sound business decisions and more rapidly achieve his or her most important work-related and career objectives. Our Books24x7 Referenceware collections cover broad business and technical areas of interest, as well as focused areas, such as engineering and finance. Generally, our content solutions are based on open standards Web technologies and flexible, low bandwidth architecture, enabling users to access the material they need via computer, with the specificity or breadth that they require, any time or anywhere that they may need it.
 

Our technology solutions are designed to support a broad range of corporate learning needs and respond quickly to business demands. Our learning management system (LMS), SkillPort, is designed to be a flexible, scalable platform that can be rapidly implemented and will meet the needs of the majority of business enterprises. We also work actively with other LMS vendors to ensure interoperability of our content and technology with their systems. In addition to SkillPort, we offer customization and authoring tools that allow our customers to tailor our content to be a better fit with their business.
