OneFile wins the Queen's Award for Innovation
The UK's leading software for learning and development has received the royal seal of approval. OneFile has pioneered technology for apprenticeships for over a decade, and is now leading the apprenticeship revolution at home and overseas.
The word 'innovation' gets used a lot these days. But to be truly innovative, an organisation must create something that has never existed before. And that's exactly what OneFile did.
As leaders in the eportfolio market, they had to break new ground, fight against a reluctance to technology in the sector, and even build a unique electronic signature system to meet the ESFA's authenticity regulations. After almost a decade of development, OneFile now used by over 600,000 users around the world.
OneFile's innovative software has saved thousands of pounds of government money, improved Ofsted ratings across the country, and completely transformed how training is delivered and assessed.
OneFile increases learner engagement by 32%, boosts achievement rates by 10% and reduces qualification completion times by up to 50%. OneFile also delivers significant financial savings in paper, printing, travel and time – delivering ROI of up to 500%. And it doesn't end there. To date, OneFile has saved over 25 million miles in travel, which equates to over 1,000 journeys around the world. OneFile also saved 15 million sheets of paper – that's more than 18,0000 trees.
And now its true innovation has been given the royal seal of approval. OneFile is the proud winner of the 2017 Queens Award for Innovation. The Queens Award is one of the most prestigious accolades for UK businesses, so it's a fantastic achievement for everyone at OneFile – and everyone involved in the learning and development sector.
