Learning Resources takes over Custom eCourseware operation of MGX`s Software Futures division

"This development is in direct response to the needs of the market. What clients really need is an end-to-end blended training solution that is customised to suit their specific needs and links directly to their business strategy. With the integration of the Custom eCourseware operation, Learning Resources is able to provide a unique end-to-end business specific customisation," says Learning Resources managing director, Ricky Robinson.

Custom eCourseware Solution Manager, Irwin van Stavel, explains how the operation differentiates itself. "The traditional learning route typically involves manuals, classroom training and generic materials such as training videos. Our advantage hinges on the customised component of the solution that we provide, and the fact that the solution is delivered from a technology platform."

"By applying the customisable blended e-learning process, Learning Resources can effectively reduce training time and costs in the short- and long-term by 50%," adds Elna Fischer, Production Manager for the division. "Considerable costs are saved if employees do not have to leave their desks to go for training, which may involve travel. Our solution ensures training materials are accessible anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, the usability of the applications introduced will be timeless."

The value of Custom eCourseware lies in its ability to customise and work around mission-critical needs such as product knowledge training and process and systems training that are typically specific to every company. Learning Resources, now complemented by the specialist expertise of Custom eCourseware, is able to devise a blended e-learning strategy solution specific to a company`s needs.

Robinson adds: "We have worked closely with the Custom eCourseware operation team for some years now and recognise the significance of this opportunity. The team will bring unique and complementary skills to the business and our synergies will enable deeper intervention with existing clients and ensure organic growth for the company."
