LeadTrain, a provider of web-based tools for the management and administration of learning and development programmes, has taken over the e-Learning division of IOCORE, an IT services company.
This move allows LeadTrain to offer customers a more comprehensive offering of web-based learning and development solutions both as an ASP offering and as behind-the-firewall solutions. In addition to adding experienced staff to the LeadTrain team, it also brings international best-of-breed offerings to their stable of offerings.
LeadTrain will take over from IOCORE as a value-added reseller for WBT Systems TopClass as well as Centra. The TopClass e-Learning SuiteTM is an award-winning modular learner and content management system with a strong focus on regulatory compliance. Centra is a virtual collaboration solution that offers real-time interaction for virtual classrooms, electronic meetings and web conferencing.
The incorporation into LeadTrain offers many advantages to the IOCORE team, such as being part of the Johnnic Communications Group, which includes other market leaders such as MTN Network Solutions and I-Net Bridge. Another advantage is Johncom`s first-rate black empowerment credentials.
According to Richard Lilford, MD of LeadTrain, this acquisition "allows the leader of ASP-based learning solutions to combine forces with a leader in e-Learning solutions to provide more comprehensive learning and development solutions to our customers".
