Webanywhere enables e-learning market entry for Financial Services Training Company
Webanywhere, the Yorkshire-based workplace learning solutions provider is delivering an innovative online training platform based on its Traininganywhere LMS to FinTuition, an international training company operating in the Finance sector.
FinTuition offers a wide range of specialist training courses to customers in the Securities Finance sector across Europe, North America, and Asia as well as providing In-House Training. The training company predominantly uses a classroom-based model using subject matter experts to deliver its courses.
In common with many training companies, FinTuition is seeking to develop its proposition to include an e-Learning component. In selecting a learning management system there were a number of key criteria. FinTuition prides itself on quality delivery, so the main concern was the quality of the LMS solution, and a go-to market proposition that matched Fintuition’s quality criteria. However, as this is a new activity for FinTuition the solution needed to be financially viable, without the substantial upfront investment demanded by many commercial learning management systems (LMS).
Traininganywhere is Webanywhere’s cost effective, low risk, revenue based ‘course container’ model for Training Companies and Content Developers to take their training content to market. As part of the Traininganywhere solution, Webanywhere provided Fintuition with a Moodle-based LMS (with a themed course template), integrated e-store, cloud hosting, support and consultancy.
Webanywhere's Conor Gilligan said, "The Traininganywhere solution provides an ideal incubation unit for 'traditional' training companies and SME businesses to enter the world of online learning using technologies such as LMS (Learning Management Systems), VLE (Virtual Learning Environments), LCMS (Learning and Content Management Systems) and online shops whilst reducing their upfront investment."
Ted Hall, Sales and Marketing Manager at FinTuition said “As relative newcomers to e-learning, we chose Traininganywhere as the optimal solution for our model as it matched our demanding quality criteria, but also offered a reduced entry cost to facilitate the setting up and operation of our online training service. The quality LMS, low set up fees and a ‘pay as you go’ model makes it the most appropriate option for hosting and commercialising our course content.”
