SumTotal Systems, the industry’s largest provider of learning and business performance technologies, services and processes, today announced that its Italian partner, Web Learn, has expanded its SumTotal implementation with the addition of TotalDashboard. WebLearn, which provides integrated content, methodologies and solutions to the European enterprise learning marketplace, will use the award-winning analytics solution to help its customers measure and report on the impact of their learning initiatives on company business and performance objectives.

Web Learn, a long-time SumTotal partner, offers an ASP-based learning solution built on the SumTotal Enterprise Suite, including TotalLMS, TotalLCMS and other modules. The company also has implemented the SumTotal Suite internally to manage its own learning initiatives. Initially, Web Learn will deploy TotalDashboard internally to measure its own corporate learning activities and to evaluate user data from the system. Going forward, the company also plans to make the application part of its learning solution offering to European corporations and government organizations. The company expects to expand the solution from 1100 to more than 10,000 users across Europe within the next year.

TotalDashboard is an end-to-end analytics solution that provides users with up-to-the-moment, actionable insight into the impact of learning on business results. TotalDashboard offers pre-built and fully configurable topical and industry specific analytic applications that incorporate best practices and address key functional areas across all SumTotal applications. These tightly integrated analytic applications quickly provide users with key business metrics in ready-to-use reports, set in context and tailored to business function and industry.

“SumTotal continues to be a strong partner for Web Learn in supporting our commitment to making our customers successful,” said Gaetano Fabiano, commercial director at Web Learn. “Today, companies are challenged more and more to demonstrate ROI from the infrastructure investments they make. TotalDashboard will be a key element in the solutions we provide, as it will enable our customers to analyze the results from every part of their learning initiatives and to gain clear visibility into the business value of learning in their organizations.”

According to Fabiano, SumTotal supports Web Learn’s strong focus on delivering courseware and application services that are fully compliant with guidelines specified by the European Social Fund (ESF). The ESF provides significant funding for European Union programs that enhance the development of vocational skills and bolster an individual’s employment potential. “SumTotal provides Web Learn with sophisticated tools for assessing and reporting competency levels based on ESF policies, allowing us to offer our customers a more valuable solution and giving us a competitive advantage in our marketplace.”
