Transition expands reach of premier learning management system to Romania

Tatsfield, KentLearning NewsTransition Associates

Transition, a leading provider of e-learning products, services and solutions, announces the release of a Romanian language version of CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal.

Working closely with both its business partner in Romania - Memory Computers SA - and its long-term global business partner IBM, Transition is making CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal available in the Romanian language for the first time. 

CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal combines the power of two of the world's top learning management systems - Trivantis' CourseMill and IBM's WebSphere Portal, into CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal - a new, single solution, which is an ideal learning management system for small- to medium-sized organisations - especially those with an IBM Lotus infrastructure. 

According to Transition's Miles Corbett, CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal "delivers high-end learning management features at an affordable price - it has the kind of feature set which previously only large companies could afford. Now it's available to pretty much everyone. It's a big leap - and now it's available in Romanian, on top of English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian and Mandarin." 

Transition's ambitions don't stop at Romania: "We've learned a lot creating the Romanian version and have geared ourselves to create versions for other languages easily. It's now very straightforward for us to create other translated versions of CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal for different languages." 

Transition also offers a range of e-learning services which help organisations to smoothly migrate their current e-learning content to the new platform, and customise it to their individual requirements - avoiding the cost of redeveloping from the ground up. Transition can also create bespoke e-learning content for training courses. 

Corbett says that CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal is recognised as a business partner solution aligned to IBM's Portal NOW! Programme: "Available with a rapid implementation package," says Corbett, "CourseMill is the ideal e-learning solution to adopt alongside the IBM Portal NOW! solution templates." 

At a technical level, CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal is based on proven IBM WebSphere and IBM DB2 technologies - and is compatible with the same authoring environment used for IBM Learning Accelerator, Saba. This has the added benefit of enabling organisations to migrate to the 'full' Learning Accelerator product, should they so wish. 

CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal is available now, from Transition.
