Management, a Brazilian partner of IntraLearn Latin America Ltda (ILLA), introduced
its industry-leading “Rapid e-Learning” program last week at the e-Learning Brazil
Conference, the main e-Learning conference of the HR industry in Brazil.
As part of a panel of experts in e-Learning, Fábio Barcellos, CEO of QuickMind,
said, “Brazilian companies have started to focus their Human Resource strategy on
the rapid deployment of e-Learning. It will soon become a major trend, especially
because it consolidates efficiency and creativity while accelerating the delivery
of critical learning in an organization.”
QuickMind also presented the new corporate university of SulAmérica, called UNIVERSAS.
SulAmérica, a Brazilian insurance conglomerate and an ING partner, will be using
the powerful IntraLearn SME to deliver online courses to their 25,000 employees
and brokers.
The e-Learning Brazil Conference included more than 800 companies, 37 workshops,
and 24 moderated panels. “We estimate that 450 firms have some level of e-Learning
initiative going on in Brazil. This market is now projecting to be over R$300 million,”
says Barcellos. “We believe QuickMind is articulating the appropriate vision for
Rapid e-Learning and we are working jointly to deliver complete, integrated solutions
to this growing market segment,” added Alfredo Leone, Managing Director for IntraLearn
