SITEL Launches GeoMaestro E-Learning Platform
GeoLearning LMS offers SITEL University enhanced reporting, authoring and competency management tools.
GeoLearning, Inc., the leading developer of ASP-delivered e-learning systems and Web-based training solutions, announced today that SITEL Corporation, a leading global provider of outsourced customer support services, has upgraded SITEL University to its new GeoMaestro™ learning management system and e-learning delivery platform. SITEL originally launched the online component of its corporate university on the Geo Learning Center™ LMS platform in the spring of 2000.
The system upgrade includes enhanced Web-based reporting and course authoring capabilities, plus the addition of MyPlan™, GeoLearning’s competency management tool for planning and tracking employee certification, regulatory compliance, training and professional development.
“The GeoMaestro system offers a complete learning platform to develop, manage and deliver an expanded and fully integrated approach to blended learning and development,” says Jessica Hochstein, Director of Enterprise Communications & Knowledge at SITEL. “It makes it possible for us to efficiently deliver and manage enterprise-wide learning programs that are essential to performance improvement, people development, and a common understanding about The SITEL Way of doing business.”
SITEL’s more than 25,000 employees operate customer contact centers in 21 countries, manage more than 1.5 million customer contacts per day, and offer services in 25 languages and dialects. “Our challenge,” explains Hochstein, “is to deliver training on contact center operations, customer service, desktop software, management and leadership to a diverse and geographically dispersed workforce. And we need to do it cost-effectively while tying training back to measurable business results.”
SITEL employees registered for more than 250,000 courses in 2002, and the company’s e-learning site boasts course completion rates ranging from 80% to 90%.
“The impact on our business in terms of speed-to-market, recruitment and retention, employee performance, and the direct cost savings we’ve experienced from reduced administrative time, travel and materials has been considerable,” says Hochstein. “GeoLearning has helped learning and development make a significant positive impact to SITEL’s bottom line.”
