Draper, UT - May 18, 2000 -- Learnframe (formerly Pinnacle Multimedia) today announced a strategic partnership with SkillScape® Skills Management Services Ltd. to provide an integrated, Web-based solution for managing competency-based business processes such as training and development. SkillScape's® Competence Manager™, the leading skills management software solution provider, has been integrated with Learnframe's Pinnacle Learning ManagerÔ (PLM) to deliver a complete online learning solution that combines skills management and skills-based learning with training resource selection, delivery, and tracking.
"Learnframe is very happy to partner with SkillScape, " says Ron Sanders, vice president of Marketing and Product Management for Learnframe, "offering learners easier access to the world's leading tools for learning and skills management."
This new integration supports Learnframe's strategy of providing a single-source solution for all business learning needs.
"SkillScape considers Learnframe to be a leader in the technology-based training (TBT) management and TBT launching industry," comments Grant Parks, VP, Strategic Relations at SkillScape. "The PLM is a tremendous complement to our skills-based approach for identifying highly targeted individual learning plans. As well, Learnframe has a proven track record in implementing integrated solutions and implementing successful ASP models."
According to Colin Houghton, President of SkillScape, the integration of Competence Manager with Learnframe PLM combines the best of both worlds, allowing customers to measure and manage their people, knowledge capital, and training budgets. We are very excited about the value this represents to the enterprise."
Considered the leader in e-learning technology, Learnframe's PLM leads the market in its ability to manage and launch technology-based training (TBT). The PLM can launch, manage and measure the learning success for nearly 11,000 TBT titles, representing 60-plus vendors without modifying either the PLM or courseware. This unequalled capability is due to PLM's open connectivity. Learners benefit by having an easy-to-use interface while companies can focus learning on business objectives, and save time and money by avoiding costly new connections.
Competence Manager™ can be populated with SkillScape's unparalleled Content Solutions to support the rapid deployment of competency and learning processes. These include:
- SkillScape Starter Skills Dictionary™
- Over 8,500 skill definitions with 'expert' level definitions in 25 different skill categories.
- Constantly updated and expanded by the SkillScape Content Enhancement Process.
- SkillScape Skill Profiles
- Over 150 common skill sets in the fields of IT and Finance.
