SLX, no really, SLX

I found a recent case study highlighted by Bersin & Associates on how Sun Microsystems uses social software to build social learning was very interesting. It highlights the pent up demand for collaborative learning, as well we how it can be done quickly and affordably.

According to Bersin, Sun’s sales training group did not have sufficient budget or hours to meet all the training needs of sales professionals. The training group also wanted to make sure sales teams have selling tools at their fingertips with minimal clicks and support in the field, and by making it possible for subject matter experts to share valuable information with peers worldwide.
Sun wanted:
· open, informal learning environment
· a solution that would be:
- fast
- accessible
- easy to use
· functional on both desktops and mobile devices
Most of the Sun’s system was built in-house and the online content delivery network was outsourced. The entire solution was built for $60,000.
By implementing a social learning environment called Sun Learning eXchange (SLX), the training function found an effective way to "do more with less."
So what happened according to Bersin:
· One week after launch, there were 3,338 unique users (employees and contractors) from 51 countries; 19,508 content views; and 315 pieces of new content uploaded.
· Uploaded content doubled in two weeks, beating the goal by 10 weeks. Less than a month after launch, SLX has been accessed by more than 6,750 unique users in 82 countries, with 42,941 page views during 9,637 visits.
· Today, the system receives up to an average of 100 pieces of new content uploaded daily, making it one of the most frequently used learning programs across the company.
This is where eLearning is going. This is where TOPYX is – eLearning 2.0 is here. And you can have this today for less than $15,000 per annum – more than 75% less Sun’s cost and fully hosted. Check TOPYX’s test drive out and see for yourself.
