Transition makes enterprise-class learning management available to companies of all sizes

Tatsfield, KentLearning NewsTransition Associates

Transition, a leading provider of e-learning products, services and solutions, launches CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal - which delivers top-featured learning management without the high price ticket.

Transition has brought together the power of Trivantis' CourseMill and IBM's WebSphere Portal into CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal - which delivers high-end learning management features at a far lower price.

CourseMill is a flexible, powerful Learning Management System from Trivantis, the same company which created the Lectora e-learning authoring tool. CourseMill for WebSphere Portal has been specially produced to integrate tightly into IBM WebSphere Portal - making it an ideal learning management system for those organisations with an IBM Lotus infrastructure.

According to Transition's Miles Corbett, CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal is especially valuable to those organisations which wish to migrate legacy e-learning content from IBM LMS 1.x and WCL 2.x to a low-cost, high-performance platform. "Organisations using IBM LMS and WCL now have a viable platform on which to base their ongoing e-learning strategy," says Corbett.

Transition doesn't just provide the software - it also offers a range of services to help organisations easily migrate their current e-learning content, which often represents a significant investment, to the new platform. The company can also customise the platform to meet organisations' specific needs - and even develop bespoke content to run on the new platform.

Corbett says that CourseMill for IBM WebSphere Portal is a solid choice of Learning Management System. "It's fast to deploy," says Corbett. "We've had learning departments up and running with Lectora and CourseMill in less than a day. It's SCORM compliant and available immediately in many languages. It's also easy to translate into other languages that aren't supported out of the box."

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.
