Professionals' Votes Make eXact learning LCMS Champion
Sestri Levante (IT), October 2012 - The learning-content management system eXact learning LCMS, produced by the online and mobile-learning solutions provider eXact learning solutions, has been named best learning-content-management system at the Best of eLearning! 2012 Awards. The awards, which were made at the Enterprise Learning! Conference & Expo in September, were based on the votes of learning professionals and executives in an open-ended online ballot conducted over the summer.
Some 3,881 nominations were collected over the three-month balloting period, and a total of 72 products across 21 categories were named best in class in 2012. In winning the Best Learning Content Management System category, eXact learning LCMS beat runners-up SumTotal Systems LCMS, Xyleme, and Inc LCMS.
"Given the number of nominations, to earn an award of excellence is quite an honour - and, to be named a category winner is a true testament to the vendor's product and service excellence," said Catherine Upton, Elearning! Media Group's publisher.
Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of eXact Learning Solutions' North America and Australia operations and Senior Vice President of the company's Global Business Development, said, "It's deeply gratifying to receive this accolade from the learning industry's professionals. It's always very pleasing to receive the endorsement of those who use your products."
"During the past few months we have been working hard to ensure that our eXact learning LCMS platform meets today's needs and trends," he added. "To this end, we intend to announce some enhancements to the LCMS that should make it even more of a market leader in its field. This prize adds to many analysts' and technology reviewers' awards, but it is particularly significant for us since it comes from those who use and experience learning solutions on a daily basis."
"It comes just before the launch of our new Version 10 in October, which will add unique learning-content personalisation and integration features with third-party LMSs. This makes it a perfect moment to celebrate! eXact learning LCMS is a world-leading LCMS that is currently installed in more than 100 organisations worldwide," he added.
"It's increasingly important to develop and store learning content in such a way that it is conducive to it being used - not just in a static, blended approach to learning. It must also be available in a dynamic way that is able to repackage itself, interoperating with media and skills-based personalisation systems within the enterprise," Cardinali explained.
"This will allow it to adapt, in real time, to learners' personalities, perspectives, and learning preferences, helping to fill their skills and competency gaps. It will also recognize the learners' location and the device to which the learning or support is to be delivered. Moreover, the content must be easily delivered from the central enterprise repository or a federated network of corporate repositories. These and other issues will be addressed in the new version of exact learning LCMS, which will be unveiled soon."
