The global vendor of online and mobile learning content management and digital repository solutions, eXact learning solutions, has been shortlisted for the ‘Best Learning Content Management System’ at this year’s Best of Elearning! Awards.

The Awards, which are organised by Elearning! Media Group and decided via readers’ industry professionals’ votes, are being presented at the ‘Enterprise Learning! Conference & Expo’ on 26th September, which are taking place at the Hyatt Regency, in Irvine, CA, USA.  This year, there are 73 product finalists named - an increase of 15 on last year’s figure - in 21 categories.

In this year’s learning content management system (LCMS) category, eXact learning solutions’ eXact LCMS is one of the three shortlisted systems and is the only one from Europe. Each finalist will be honoured for excellence and the top vote-getter in the category will be named the winner.

Readers, practitioners and community members nominated and voted for products and solutions via Elearning! Media Group’s online ballot. All ballots were cast between 15th May and 1st August 2012.

Each ballot was reviewed and validated by the editorial team. All vendor ballots were voided.

“Every finalist is a winner in the Best of Elearning! Awards,” commented Catherine Upton, group publisher of the Elearning! Media Group. “Given the high volume of votes and the number of nominated products, every one of these solution providers should be proud to be honoured for excellence.”

She added: “The Best of Elearning! Awards programme formalises the informal ‘word-of-mouth’ referrals practised in our industry.

“According to our survey, 85 per cent of professionals have personally recommended a learning solution to a colleague over the past 12 months. And 61 per cent agreed that award recognition impacted their buying decision,” she said.

“Our industry is experiencing a period of innovation and transformation,” commented Jerry Roche, editorial director of the Elearning! Magazine Group. “The introduction of new social, mobile solutions and learning and talent software is reflected in the number of honorees in this year’s Awards.”

“It’s thrilling to be nominated – and shortlisted – for the Award this year,” said Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of eXact Learning Solutions’ North America and Australia operations and Senior Vice President of the company’s Global Business Development.  

“It’s particularly pleasing because these votes come from the large customer base we’ve built in more than 20 nations around the world - and their votes reward us for the big efforts we’ve put into developing our new eXact learning  LCMS release 10, which will be out next quarter. Like everyone else, we’re looking forward to learning the verdict on 26th September but merely being shortlisted is already a great pay-back for our prolonged efforts in this field.”
