If Content is King, Platform is Queen…

I am sure you heard the phrase "content is king". If that is true, then the platform is queen. What good is it to view the new Star Trek movie on a black and white television set. The content will never realize its full potential without the right platform.

Last week, we announced our partnership with SkillSoft plc where we would provide SkillSoft content on our TOPYX platform. We are very excited about this partnership. Why?

We provide our customers with a comprehensive solution to their eLearning needs. By teaming up the largest eLearning content provider in the world, we are able to provide customers a broad array of relevant content on a fully integrated learning platform. A true turnkey solution.

The old style of digitized content and boring legacy learning management systems are not relevant, as black and white television sets are not relevant. As technology has evolved to hi-def televisions, so must your eLearning platform.

TOPYX is the right platform for eLearning in today's world. It engages, interacts, and collaborates – both learner and instructor alike. Combine that with the content we can provide with SkillSoft, it is a winning combination.

And what would a king be without his queen…

Collaborative learning, cost savings and an environmentally friendly education distribution system our eLearning 2.0 and mLearning platform provides are just some of the benefits of TOPYX. For more information, blogs, forums, videos and even test driving
