Northboro, Mass., January 7, 2002 - IntraLearn Software
Corporation, the leading supplier of configurable e-learning applications for mid-size
enterprises, and SkillView Technologies, Inc., a premier provider of skills management
software, introduced today the latest version of IntraLearn e-360. By integrating
skills management and e-Learning, IntraLearn and SkillView have combined two superior
technologies to produce a single, field-installable application with a price mid-size
organizations can afford.
e-360 integrates everything an enterprise needs for a complete online training solution:
a powerful e-Learning platform with built-in assessments and content creation tools,
sophisticated skills management software and the ability to run industry-standard
courseware. The software offers companies an affordable way to assess where they
need training and provide the interactive online learning environment to deliver
it.
"IntraLearn and SkillView have changed the formula for corporate training. e-360
makes the critical link between skills needs and online courses seamless and affordable
to the 300,000 midmarket companies previously left out of the e-Learning revolution
because of the exorbitant costs of customized solutions. We are committed to extending
e-Learning beyond the Fortune 1000 and into the mainstream. The IntraLearn e-360
application costs many, many times less than similar solutions. It is also the only
off-the-shelf e-Learning application approved on the Microsoft platform and sold
through resellers." said Peter Banhazl, executive vice president, IntraLearn Software
Corporation.
The cornerstone of IntraLearn e-360 is the integration of SkillView's Enterprise
skills management application. SkillBridge, as it is known within the e360 product,
is a powerful decision-support tool helping companies identify skill gaps, promote
career and skills development, evaluate workforce proficiencies, and perform skill-set
and resume searches.
"Through SkillBridge, IntraLearn e-360 aligns a company's corporate objectives with
the learning needs of its employees and partners. Companies gain a competitive edge
with faster time-to-market, better supply chain communication and a well-trained
workforce, as well as greater return on their training investments," said Hank Riehl,
Founder, SkillView. "The essence of the SkillBridge application is the creation
of a decision-support data repository that compares employees' declared proficiencies
in certain skills with expected or desired proficiencies established for each job
in an organization. This identifies 'skill gaps' which can be addressed by courses
delivered through the integrated IntraLearn e-Learning platform. Course recommendations
and auto-enrollment are part of the package."
