Constant changes in legislation and in the business world have forced South African companies to start looking differently to ways that can support "just-in-time" training and knowledge transfer to both external and internal end-users.
CampusWise, an IT company backed by two powerful companies, Infotech and ensembl'e (affiliated with Getronics) has seen the gap and secured the distribution rights in South Africa with global company InterWise for their product, InterWise Millenium, a live, voice-interactive e-learning software solution, capitilising on all the Internet`s interactive capabilities. CampusWise currently positions itself as a dominant supplier of live e-learning technology in South Africa to very receptive corporate and educational sectors.
Says George Verster, MD of CampusWise: " Legislation such as The Skills Development Act and the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Bill , still under revision, .leave companies in South Africa with a dilemma in terms of just-in-time training to stay competitive in their respective markets. The product InterWise with its dynamic e-learning platform delivers real time, live training when and how it is needed. Likewise, the trend of businesses merging and the fostering of partner relationships cause a ripple effect that necessitates fast and standardised quality knowledge transfer."
InterWise Millenium supports the upgrading of employee and customer skills across all sectors by revitalising the learning process through delivering real-time, instructor-led training - live from a desktop, in the job and cost-effectively. Product roll-out, in particular to the B2C and B2B markets, lends itself par excellence to this live training solution as new products can be launched globally with the minimum time delay to market, thanks to Internet technology that has removed all global barriers and changed the face of education forever.
Live e-learning offers the live characteristics of instructor-led training - thereby filling the gap in previous distance education technologies where the human interactive element used to be lacking.
"Early adopters of second generation technology recognise that by adopting the live e-learning concept will establish them as winners. It is well known that the first movers who manage to build a brand name quickly become market leaders. We feel confident and proud that our product can make that difference in the workplace that South Africa so desperately needs. Time is of the essence and companies ready to embrace InterWise will see it reflected in their bottom lines. Training in the corporate environment has for too long been the financial orphan", Verster concluded.
