Under the agreement, TIS will provide eLearning content development services to Scientafix clients. Scientafix will supply TIS clients with strategic consulting services, learning management systems (LMS), and other tools, as well as assist with the deployment of the eLearning materials.


"Our aim in working with clients is to turn knowledge and learning into results," commented Jop Duyvendak, joint head of Scientafix, whose client base predominantly consists of Fortune 500 companies in Europe. "We are delighted to be working with TIS, whose aims are similar to our own and whose skills and competencies are complementary to ours."


Duyvendak and his colleague Maarten de Groodt have a combined total of over fifty years of experience in the world of technology-delivered learning solutions. For example de Groodt served as director of training for Cap Gemini and Oracle and started up what is now the SumTotal Systems learning management system in mainland Europe.


TIS has developed over 950 custom built eLearning solutions for more than 300 clients across all sectors of the economy - including the education and public sectors - and operates in the USA, the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Japan, and India.


Apart from holding ISO 9001 and BS7799 certification, TIS is the only eLearning organisation in the world to be assessed at Level 5 in both the SEI CMM and P-CMM frameworks.


"TIS places great emphasis on quality - of process, products, and relationships," explained Manoj Kutty, TIS's worldwide president of sales and marketing. "We believe that our strategic partnership with Scientafix will help improve the quality of each company's offerings to our many clients."
