Software Rollout – Elearning Solutions


There are just a few elearning solutions companies that are able to provide real quality services for employee development. It can really be a painful process since trial and error is something that cannot be if the risks are too high. In the end, if the company chooses a an electronic learning solutions provider that is not able to comply with the high level of standards necessary to create good results, then such a decision could cause major losses.

This is what happened to our company a couple of years ago. We were really in need of an immediate answer to our problem and we decided that contracting an elearning solutions provider would be best, if not perhaps the only answer. The problem was that our company was in immediate need of new software training. There are perhaps only a few companies that are capable of the solution that we need. Researching was the hardest part since we did not try to go online first.

However, we finally chose to go online and found what appeared to be a great company called Intelladon that offered the exact services that we needed. It was easy enough to contact them and we met right away with their people. It turns out that they are capable of just the task we needed.



Our problem was that our old software for a business process, which I cannot name here, is no longer up to date. It was more than just that, it was suddenly made obsolete because of a change in the technology platform standard that was being used in the industry. And of course, such technological advancements, especially in the field of computer software development, move at such a break neck speed. Of course a company in that industry would have no choice but to keep up with the fast pace.

My Future Lies in Elearning

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/e-learning-12.jpg


A few months from now, I’ll be 26, a quarter of a century old. I don’t really care about the number that much or the wrinkles and age spots that come with the stupid biological time bomb. Come to think of it, I don’t really care about anything except for one thing probably – wasted time. Yes, I think I have wasted a whole 26 years of my existence doing nothing but sleepwalking through life.

But things weren’t like this a few years ago. I used to have a goal – to finish my graduate studies and live as an academic for the rest of my life. Somehow, I lost my mojo to continue it and well, there is also the need to work for money so I decided that my master’s degree should take a back seat. During my hiatus from graduate studies, I wondered aimlessly through the corporate clouds but the desire to go back to school has always been there.

Right now, I’m still in that same limbo state. Grey area is what they call it. I guess that only chance I have to go back to school again is if I could enroll in some elearning program related to my discipline. I’m planning to contact my University and inquire about their online courses since it would mean more work and requirement processing if I transfer to a different institution. I just hope I can make it before the registration period ends. So yeah. Technically, my future lies in my University’s elearning program. If they won’t accept me, I would not know how else I could finish my program.



If only I have the luxury of time and money, I would not have to settle for something with less interaction. I would want to relive the daily drives going to school, sitting inside the classroom, physically being present in a real moment with people in my class and not just a computer equipped with a face-to-face interaction elearning system.
