Bonita Springs-based technology company Interactyx Limited’s learning software was recently chosen by Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge.

Students of Cambridge’s Executive MBA program will commence using the trademarked TOPYX eLearning 2.0 solution software this month for a two-year term. The system integrates learning content, assignments and social networking.

“We are pleased to announce our long-term relationship with Cambridge. Judge Business School is ‘built on an ethos of collaboration.’ TOPYX’s essence is to facilitate collaborative learning experiences through its eLearning platform,” said Alfred R. Novas, chief executive officer of Interactyx Limited.

“In working with the great team at Cambridge and creating the right solution to enhance the Cambridge Executive MBA program offering, we are all excited about TOPYX being used this August. Moreover, we congratulate and share in the celebration of Judge Business School’s 20 years of excellence and the University of Cambridge’s 800th anniversary.”

Dr. Simon Learmount, director of the Executive MBA program at Judge Business School, said: “We were seeking an eLearning platform that fits with our heritage of fostering collaborative leadership and developing communities of partners. TOPYX captures that and we believe will fit properly at Judge Business School. The team at Interactyx was very responsive to our needs and we look forward to growing our relationship.”

“Futurethink is also utilizing Topyx’s eCommerce engine, allowing for the sale of relevant content to its customers, another innovative aspect available with Topyx. The potent combination of eLearning, social networking and integrated eCommerce will allow for enhanced customer loyalty and thus, increased sales,” said Novas, Interactyx CEO.

“We are proud to have futurethink as a client and look forward to building a long-term relationship.”
