This announcement comes on the heels of Cognota's recent partnership with ROI Institute, which incorporated the globally recognized ROI Methodology into Cognota's LearnOps platform. The combined capabilities of Cognota, Performitiv, and ROI Institute represent a transformative solution for the industry, enabling talent and learning teams to seamlessly manage operations, measure program effectiveness, and demonstrate the ROI of learning investments, all within one unified platform.

By integrating ROI measurement workflows, developed in partnership with the ROI Institute and Performitiv's cutting-edge program evaluation tools, Cognota is setting a new industry standard for learning operations. This combined solution enables talent and learning teams to streamline training requests, align programs with business strategy, manage resources like capacity and budgets, and accurately track and measure the impact of learning investments in one easy-to-use operating system. By replacing costly, standalone tools, Cognota's LearnOps platform delivers unparalleled insights and cost savings.

A LearnOps platform extends workflows across the entire learning operation, consolidating processes that were previously handled by disparate systems and outdated, standalone tools. Recently, Cognota announced extended workflows to replace legacy training management systems (TMS), offering scheduling and facilitator management at no additional cost to its customers. Now, with its new partnerships with Performitiv and the ROI Institute, Cognota is extending its platform to include comprehensive evaluation and measurement workflows, bringing the same efficiency and integration to learning impact analysis.

This consolidation of workflows into a single platform not only enhances operational efficiency but also reduces the need for expensive, siloed tools - saving time, cutting costs, and empowering teams with real-time data and insights to drive better decision-making and optimize ROI.
