KPN Leverages Saba to Improve Competitiveness

Bracknell (UK), July 2013 - Saba, the provider of people-centric enterprise solutions, working with cloud partner Bloomville, has announced that KPN, a Dutch telecommunications and internet and communications technology (ICT) service provider, is leveraging the Saba Unified Learning Management Suite to standardise and optimise the training and development of its workforce.

Expertise is a competitive differentiator for KPN. It was therefore critical for them to establish consistent best practices and procedures for the training and development of their over 23,000 employees across Europe. It was also important for KPN’s programs to be delivered on a central, unified learning platform. By leveraging Saba and Bloomville, KPN can now focus solely on its learning strategy.

KPN offers worldwide ICT services and is a market leader in Benelux for infrastructure and network-related IT solutions. In order for them to retain their leading position, it is important for their employees to stay up to date on the developments in their field and area of professional expertise.
