Research Focuses on Whether Organizations Optimize Learning Technologies

Mountain View, CA – May 13, 2008 – Expertus, a global provider of services that optimize the business impact of learning, and Training Industry, Inc. today announced the second survey in the 2008 Expertus Masters Series. Training Efficiency: Optimizing Learning Technologies is an online survey that training leaders and technology administrators across the country will complete this week.

The survey is focused on gathering information about how companies are using learning technologies to increase their training organization’s ROI. The questions will also assess the efficiencies and inefficiencies of training technologies such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS), and other learning technologies. The results will be available by the first week in June.

The survey is part of the 2008 Expertus Training Efficiency Masters Series, which is designed to help learning executives master the art of transforming their organizations into models of operational efficiency. The Masters Series includes quarterly surveys, webinars and intimate forums that offer practical insight and ideas on how to master learning efficiency. Later this year the series will focus on Business Intelligence and Process Management.

“Our first-quarter survey, ‘Training Efficiency: Optimizing Costs’ indicated that a top priority for training leaders is to reduce costs by optimizing,” said Mohana Radhakrishnan, Vice President of Client Services for Expertus. “This latest survey goes deeper into how technologies are either maximized or underutilized in organizations; we will discuss the findings during our upcoming webinar, where we will reveal all the hidden opportunities of learning systems.”

Expertus and Josh Bersin of Bersin & Associates will discuss the survey findings and much more during the “Secrets of Successful Learning Systems – 6 Ways to Unlock Hidden Value” webinar on June 24, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. ET. For more information and to register, visit www.expertus.com/webinar2/pr.
