IntraLearn Software Corp. Announces
Groundbreaking New LearningServer for SharePoint
Application places powerful enterprise learning
system
directly inside Microsoft SharePoint
Bellevue, Wash. - May 15, 2006 --IntraLearn
Software Corp. of Northboro, Mass., a leading supplier of Microsoft
technology-based, turnkey e-Learning software, announced today the
release of its new LearningServer for SharePoint. The enterprise
learning application is designed specifically for Microsoft SharePoint
users who see mission-critical learning as an organizational imperative
and seek to dramatically maximize their SharePoint investment.
By transparently integrating with SharePoint, LearningServer exploits
SharePoints powerful capabilities in document management,
integration with the Microsoft Office system, single log-on, portals,
localization and SharePoint Server dashboard capabilities. The turnkey
application delivers a system capable of quickly delivering and
managing learning across an entire enterprise. What SharePoint enables
in document sharing, storage, security and distribution can now
be extended to learning. SharePoint users can derive more value
from their informational assets by converting them to measurable
learning that is immediately available to everyone who needs it,
no matter where they are or the language they speak.
Our history and vision is consistently focused on building
e-Learning software as a commodity, said Jerry Goguen, CEO
of IntraLearn. SharePoint Server eliminates much of the underlying
elements we would have required that are fundamental to our application.
The net result is a familiar yet rich experience at a fraction of
the cost of other solutions.
Learning Server for SharePoint is a software application that enables
the rapid delivery of blended learning from within SharePoint. Content
is created in the Microsoft Office system, off-the shelf authoring
tools or imported courseware from third-party vendors. The system
manages both interactive eLearning and live learning events. The
product also introduces a new modular design that lets customers
build their own learning system from the bottom-up, purchasing only
the functionality they need when they need it. These Collections
plug directly into Learning Server for SharePoint to provide substantial
functionality like Collaboration, Content Management, Career Development
and Enhanced Management.
Learning Server for SharePoint is a terrific example of an
application that that been designed to take advantage of the powerful
document management and enterprise collaboration strengths of SharePoint,
said Kurt DelBene, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Office Server
Group. By adding an important learning environment directly
into the upcoming SharePoint Server 2007, it will extend the Microsoft
Office system and SharePoint Server 2007 value even further for
customers.
