Metropolitan Council selects Learn.com to Provide Technical Training, Certifications and Employee Development to Staff

Sunrise, Florida – January 14, 2010 – Learn.com®, the knowledge platform company, announced today that Metropolitan Council, the regional planning agency serving the Minneapolis seven-county metropolitan area has selected Learn.com to provide certification training and employee development content to all five divisions of its organization through one centralized portal.

“By implementing Learn.com we will be able to save significant time and organize training among our employee base by providing a central location that users can easily access for electronic learning. Future plans call for the rollout of an employee development curriculum that individuals can use to grow within their fields. Everything will be collected and reported on through the Learn.com portal. It’s a one-stop-shop,” said Mike Murphy, Manager of Learning and Organization Development at Metropolitan Council.

The Metro Transit and Environmental Services divisions will utilize Learn.com to provide staff with technical training as well as Plant Operator / Engineer license and mechanical certification courses.

“Selecting Learn.com was a smart choice for the organization. We had 5 members on our selection team and Learn.com was the leader in each critiquing category. Learn.com was more user-friendly than many of the other systems we looked at and it provides us with an entire suite of features so that we did not have to purchase add-ons to get the system we wanted. We are looking forward to building a long partnership,” concluded Murphy.

About the Metropolitan Council
The Minnesota Legislature established the Metropolitan Council in 1967 to coordinate planning and development within the Twin Cities metropolitan area and to address issues that could not be adequately addressed with existing governmental arrangements. Additional legislative acts in 1974, 1976 and 1994 strengthened the Council’s planning and policy roles, and merged the functions of three agencies (the Metropolitan Transit Commission, the Regional Transit Board and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission) into one — the Metropolitan Council.

The Metropolitan Council is the regional planning agency serving the Twin Cities seven-county metropolitan area and providing essential services to the region. The Council works with local communities to provide these critical services:
• operates the region’s largest bus system
• collects and treats wastewater
• engages communities and the public in planning for future growth
• provides forecasts of the region’s population and household growth
• provides affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income individuals and families
• provides planning, acquisitions and funding for a regional system of parks and trails
• provides a framework for decisions and implementation for regional systems including aviation, transportation, parks and open space, water quality and water management.

Learn.com Announces New Competitive Upgrade Program After Switching an Industry Leading 50 Clients From Competing Solutions in 2009

Fourth consecutive “Best LMS” award validates Learn.com’s leadership in client satisfaction. Now an unprecedented number of organizations chose to avoid the hassles, costs and embarrassment of having to switch vendors later by selecting Learn.com first.

SUNRISE, FLORIDA January 11, 2010Learn.com®, the knowledge platform company, announced a 2010 Competitive Upgrade Program to address the obvious need validated by the increasing number of new clients that have switched to Learn.com in 2009 from a competing product. Learn.com’s Competitive Upgrade Program is designed to defray the initial costs associated with switching platforms. Learn.com has converted over 150 organizations from competing solutions and these companies have experienced an increase in their business impact, ROI, and employee engagement while reducing their total cost of ownership. No other vendor cares more about their clients’ success than Learn.com.

“We switched to Learn.com because the system provides us with a number of features and elegance that we did not have with our previous learning management system (LMS). We predict that we will gain 30-40% efficiency by reducing administrative tasks,” said Ann Robatin, PhD, Training Manager at Sales Industrial Products.

“Our client wanted to switch from their current LMS to a more flexible and fully supported solution. We’ve found that Learn.com goes far beyond LMS/LCMS technology and allows us to create a tailored learning portal with the look and feel that is 100% configurable by us. We estimated the configurability portion alone saved us almost $50,000 in Statement of Work fees and put the power in our hands,” said Christopher Beasley, Chief Operating Officer at Advanced Presentations.

“We switched from our current system, because we outgrew its functional capacity,” said Jana Muma, Vice President of Learning and Development at Gables Residential.

“Since switching to Learn.com from our previous provider, we have had success with our platform and our partnership with Learn.com. One of our most significant projects is the online certification to our company Code of Conduct in 14 languages,” said Joe Mascavage, Manager of Education for Cytec Industries.

“We switched to the Learn.com because it provides us with the ability to offer blended training, including instructor led training (ILT), e-learning and virtual ILT,” said Karen Geldhof, Learning Technology Manager at California Casualty.

Learn.com was also honored as a leader in 7 out of 8 categories in a recent Enterprise Talent Management Satisfaction study conducted by Bersin & Associates. One category was total satisfaction in Implementation. Since all of Learn.com’s clients run the same version of the highly configurable platform, our implementation methodology has been honed razor sharp to cut down the time of implementation, leverage relevant best practices and re-use all of the lessons learned for each new implementation. These switched clients knew why their implementations failed and they knew exactly what they wanted and what they didn’t want.

“Training and HR professionals that have been less than satisfied in the past with a vendor incontrovertibly know what they must have in their new platform to fill their conspicuous gaps and what questions they need to have answered before switching to another vendor,” said JW Ray, Chief Operating Officer at Learn.com. Clients who have switched to Learn.com to solve real challenges they had with inadequate vendors realize we build partnerships with our clients for long term success, show demonstrable ROI and have a proven and industry recognized unparalleled flexibility which offers the lowest overall cost of ownership. Our first goal at Learn.com is Client Success.”

Make the switch today and get $9,500 towards the best LMS click here.

Under the terms of the Competitive Upgrade Program, the customers of any commercial Learn.com competitor can switch to Learn.com and receive a $9,500 credit towards Learn.com Professional Services including: data migration for existing or historical data, data conversion, user navigation design, implementation, deployment services and more.

This offer is good through June 30, 2010. The $9,500 credit may not exceed 50% of the value of the new LearnCenter partnership. Other terms and conditions may apply. Contact Learn.com for details, click here.
