Cloud-based ExpertusONE POD Awarded Silver Medal in the ‘Excellence in Technology’ Category

Santa Clara, CA – May 4, 2012 – Expertus, a global provider of effective, cloud-based learning systems and strategies optimized for today’s fast-paced enterprise, has been awarded a silver medal for “Best Advance in Technology for Virtual-Classroom Training or Conferencing” for ExpertusONE POD. This prestigious 2011 Excellence in Technology award recognizes ExpertusONE as breakthrough technology in the delivery of cloud learning for both internal and extended enterprise audiences. Other award winners within the category included industry leaders such as Citrix (GoToTraining), Cisco (WebEx Training Center), Adobe (Adobe Connect) and Saba (Centra).

ExpertusONE POD empowers program managers to create a complete “virtual event venue” with truly effective learning and knowledge sharing. It delivers a participant experience with all of the elements typically realized in a traditional meeting or conference, including: live and on-demand SME-led sessions and substantial interaction between attendees, attendees and SMEs and groups. It also allows for capture of community-generated knowledge, distribution of relevant materials and access to specialized capabilities like virtual tech labs.

ExpertusONE POD helps organizations go beyond traditional face-to-face meetings by providing a social learning framework to capture and leverage group-generated knowledge that would be largely lost with just siloed verbal communication. This innovative framework allows attendees to gain even more value by “continuing the conversation” with peers and SMEs for days, weeks or months beyond a scheduled event. It also gives event managers visibility and reporting of attendance, contribution, skills attainment and feedback for the entire event.

ExpertusONE POD seamlessly integrates with the ExpertusONE Dynamic Learning Platform – a next-generation Learning Management System (LMS) representing a whole new way of thinking when it comes to learning. By building a completely new platform based entirely on cloud technologies, Expertus unlocks the full power of the cloud, enabling organizations to facilitate a far more dynamic and responsive approach to learning. An approach that leverages the fundamentally collaborative nature of the cloud, embraces the social technologies of today’s highly connected world and leaves the complexities of legacy LMSs behind.

In addition to the technology platform, Expertus offers comprehensive support services for these virtual programs, including: platform configuration, content management, target audience marketing and event logistics support such as registration, help desk and pre- and post-program evaluations. Expertus also provides extensive event reporting and analysis to help the customer continuously improve their programs and events.

“We’re proud to receive the recognition represented by this Brandon Hall award,” said Ramesh Ramani, Expertus’ CEO. “The dilemma facing line-of-business and learning and development executives is clear: how do you facilitate the level of learning, communication and collaboration required to drive business performance improvements while minimizing travel expense and lost productivity? With ExpertusONE POD, we fully address this need with a virtual learning environment that’s highly immersive and personalized to each participant’s role, objectives and culture. A growing number of organizations are finding it to be exactly what they’ve needed and are achieving tremendous results.”
