Dr. Wolfgang Kraemer, CEO of IMC, is happy with the placement by market analysts Gartner. "We believe the positioning of IMC Learning Systems in the Visionaries quadrant further reflects the appreciation that is shown towards our products and services", he said. "More than 500 clients with over 3 million users worldwide in businesses, organizations, universities, and schools benefit from using our learning solutions."

According to Gartner, visionary providers are "forward-thinking vendors, but their performance has not given them a leadership position. These vendors are differentiated by their product innovation, but they have not achieved the completeness of solution or the sales and marketing success required to give them a high profile."

Gartner further states that "the CLS market has shifted from a relatively narrow software market focused on supporting training or eLearning to the creation of broader social learning platforms. These platforms make learning more integral to the actual work that people do. In particular, advanced learning-and-development (L&D) programs now focus on increasing business performance and creating communities of learners who teach each other, often on the job within the task that the learner needs to perform."

"At IMC AG we established our range of products and services in line with these developments at an early stage", says Kraemer, looking confidently ahead. "IMC Learning Solutions include components from learning management, authoring, performance, and social learning. Alongside our first-class content creation and consultancy services, they represent a comprehensive solution portfolio with which IMC will continue to be extremely competitive."
