Brazilian Insurance Conglomerate adopts IntraLearn
Learning Management System for new Corporate University
SulAmérica
launches UNIVERSAS to reach 25,000 employees
and insurance brokers this year
Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, May 24, 2005 -- IntraLearn Latin America
Ltda. (ILLA), the South American subsidiary of the leading supplier
of turnkey e-Learning software applications, IntraLearn Software
Corporation, announced today in conjunction with its Brazilian partner,
QuickMind Knowledge Management, that it has reached agreement with
SulAmérica to license the IntraLearn SME to deliver e-Learning
courses from their corporate university - UNIVERSAS.
It was important to us that UNIVERSAS was able to manage and
deliver courses from a centralized learning management system that
was scalable and secure, said Carmen Pereira, SulAméricas
Training and Development Superintendent.
SulAmérica
is one of the largest insurance conglomerates in Latin America,
serving more than 6 million clients from over 14 branches, 70 working
offices, and 31 Decentralized Attendance Units throughout Brazil.
With the rapid introduction of new products and programs, an online
university capable of delivering e-Learning to their employees and
brokers is critical.
Initially,
10 online courses are being offered to approximately 5,900 employees.
SulAmérica has plans to develop new courses and expand the
offer to more than 26,000 insurance brokers during this year. The
feature-rich IntraLearn SME allowed them to rapidly deliver interactive
and measurable courses throughout the country.
Alfredo
Leone, IntraLearn Latin Americas Managing Director, said,
We are honored to have been chosen by such a prestigious company
as SulAmérica. Fabio Barcellos, CEO of QuickMind, added,
The worldwide reputation of IntraLearn clearly helped to support
their decision.
The
IntraLearn SME is an ideal product to fuel SulAméricas
corporate university, said Peter Banhazl, Executive Vice President
of IntraLearn Software Corporation. But having such an experienced
company like QuickMind right in Rio de Janeiro was equally as important.
