LONDON -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/17/07 -- Eedo
Knowledgeware, a provider of innovative software products for real-time
learning and knowledge systems, today announced that a recently published
report by Elearnity, Europe's leading independent learning analyst firm,
has recognized Eedo Knowledgeware as an established player in the learning
content management (LCM) sector. The study, which focused on the LCM
market, also acknowledged Eedo's flagship product, ForceTen, as a
best-of-breed learning content management
system (LCMS).
The growing corporate awareness of LCM led Elearnity to initiate an
in-depth research project to examine the drivers, solutions and realities
of the sector. They found that the LCM market is still embryonic, but this
is expected to change over the next couple of years as companies face the
need to realign learning content processes to meet their increasingly
challenging business demands.
The study showed that drivers for LCM are largely common across
organisations and include costs savings and time to market, flexibility,
control and reuse, compliance and auditability.
The research process included in-depth profiling of corporate case studies,
knowledge sharing workshops and group discussions, independent market and
vendor analysts and supporting analysis of existing research and
whitepapers, and discussion with four LCMS vendors.
"Eedo is an established player in the market with its ForceTen product that
we consider to be a best-of-breed LCMS. It has good credibility and track
record in the corporate and public sector arena," said David Wilson,
Elearnity's founder and managing director. "ForceTen provides an intuitive
and well structured environment for e-learning content creation and
management, an extensible process framework that supports collaborative
development and production workflows as well as the capability to render
content to other media types such as print output or mobile learning."
"The Elearnity study confirms what we're seeing in the market that the most
effective approach to LCMS is to develop coherent strategies that are
geared to the needs and structure of a company's business," said John
Hudson, CEO, Eedo Knowledgeware. "Our background in the learning sector has
been very useful in forming strong partnerships with our customers who
value our learning expertise as well as our comprehensive tools."
David Wilson concluded, "I expect ForceTen to be a common presence in
corporate LCM shortlists moving forward."
Findings from the research are summarised in an executive viewpoint paper,
