Brammer rolls out essential elearning in nine different languages
The pan-European industrial services group Brammer is using the e2train Kallidus Learning Management System in nine different languages to deliver induction programmes and product training to its people throughout Europe.
Brammer has implemented Kallidus Learning Management System from UK elearning technology specialists e2train in French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, Czech as well as UK English. e2train supplied translated versions of the software in each required language.
Explained Andrew Morgan: "We required an LMS which could provide us with a wide range of different language variants to enable us to role out a major European-wide e-training and development programme. We considered a range of learning management systems. However, most of them were quickly ruled out as they were unable to offer the variety of languages we required either now or in the future. Others offered the functionality we needed, but were out of our price range. Only Kallidus LMS could provide the full breadth of functionality plus the language options in the kind of time frame which we required."
Kallidus LMS was installed on Brammer's servers in Manchester for access by 2000 people throughout Europe using the existing vpn in April 2005. To ensure current employees were LMS users, an automatic data feed was set up between the existing HR database and the Kallidus database. Feedback is positive with Kallidus LMS easy to use and simple to follow.
This means that Kallidus is able to fit Brammer's requirement to deliver urgent and essential product training as well as their Induction program: The Brammer Foundation Course in the time-frame required. Although their legacy elearning had been written by third parties, there had been no provision to enable Brammer to deliver, manage and report upon this training, or cater for the fact that some of the learners did not have English as a first language.
Brammer have also purchased Kallidus Author to enable them to produce future elearning in-house.
