Reduced investment risk from e-learning

Learning NewsMPS Interactive Systems

TATA Interactive Systems (TIS), which has one of the world's largest teams for the design and development of custom-built e-learning solutions and has completed some 600 custom-built e-learning projects since becoming established in the UK some six years ago, has examples of its latest programmes available on its stand at the CIPD's annual learning, training and development event - HRD 2004 - being held at Olympia, in London, from 20th to 22nd April 2004.

TIS, which grew in revenue terms by some 60 per cent in 2003, acquiring 54 new clients - including Orange T-Mobile and British Airways - in the process, recently expanded its UK operations to include an e-learning development team to augment its operations based in Mumbai, India. Having begun working with its clients in a revolutionary way - to reduce buyers' risks in investing in e-learning - TIS staff will be discussing this revolutionary approach with visitors to the company's stand at the exhibition.

According to Sambit Mohapatra, head of TIS in the UK: "Firms such as the Royal Mail and British Airways are recognising not only TIS's experience and expertise in developing custom built e-learning programmes but also our emphasis on quality, flexibility and responsiveness to client needs. Some of our clients - in both the corporate and education sectors - have appointed TIS as their creative and strategic learning partners by having TIS employees seconded to their organisations to advise on e-learning programmes.

"Our success is based on the 'partnership approach' we take with our clients - fostering a long term relationship where both parties invest in each other.

"Our clients tell us that, with our adherence to quality standards such as ISO 9001, the SEI CMM and SEI P-CMM, as well as Six Sigma techniques, they see us as a 'reduced investment risk'. In other words, they are more than happy to entrust us with developing the e-learning materials that are going to provide their staff with the 'added value' that gives them the competitive edge they need to be increasingly successful," he explained.
