Interactyx Limited Launches Social Learning Addon Software for Existing Learning Management System Infrastructures

Interactyx Limited announces the launch of TOPYX Bolt™ which provides for the social learning elements of its award winning TOPYX® social learning management system (LMS) to existing, legacy LMSs. TOPYX Bolt will extend learning management systems by providing a seamless integration of award-winning social learning features that will allow learners to easily collaborate through public and private communities that TOPYX Bolt will provide.

TOPYX Bolt delivers the same award-winning social learning resources as the TOPYX social LMS, except it “bolts on” to an existing LMS infrastructure and facilitates enhanced social and informal learning throughout the enterprise. Learners can now have access to a series of social learning features, such as forums, chat, blogs, shoutboxes, polls and many other tools to be used for collaborative learning in (private or public) subject, course and content communities.

“The concept is genius. Pure genius.” said Craig Weiss, President, E-Learn Info Advisory Services.

Interactyx Limited is a leader in the eLearning software industry with its flagship learning platform TOPYX, which engages learners and provides collaborative learning environments for businesses, associations, academic departments and eCommerce needs of any sized organization. TOPYX was recently named by the Brandon Hall Group as the gold award winners for best advance in social learning technology and best advance in learning management for small- and medium- sized businesses, and the bronze winner for best advance in learning management for blended or informal learning.

“Companies are looking to incorporate social learning into their learning and development paradigm, yet not throw out their legacy LMS infrastructure. With TOPYX Bolt, we provide an addon that delivers award winning social learning resources to an organization’s existing LMS. An organization does not need to replace its legacy LMS in order to provide social learning tools learners are craving.” stated Alfred R. Novas, Chief Executive Officer of Interactyx Limited. “The need for enterprises to keep its existing workforce and the onboarding of new employees trained, productive and fully engaged, in our ever increasingly competitive world, has never been more important. We are very excited to launch TOPYX Bolt today and provide another affordable solution to enterprises wanting to benefit from social learning.”

TOPYX Bolt is designed to be an affordable, subscription based and easy to implement solution, which extends an enterprise’s learning and development delivery model with collaboration tools geared to further engaging the learner.

Time to Upgrade Those Smelly, Old, Expensive and Polluting LMSs

We know you are out there. Over 40% of those surveyed by ELearning! magazine recently intend to drop their current LMSs. Moreover, larger companies are looking to spend over $780,000 on the replacement.

In the movie The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman’s character was provided invaluable, brief advice: “Just one word – plastics.”

If you are one of those executives contemplating throwing out your old legacy clunker of an LMS – and you should, may I offer you similar sage advice “Just one word – SaaS.”

And given less than 10% of LMS owners are utilizing the SaaS model for LMSs right now and considering spending three-quarters of a millions dollars in this economic environment – there are a number of you staring at that number and not replacing the smelly old LMS that you know you should. This is also a no brainer for the 60% of US and 75% of UK companies (according to Bersin & Associates) that do not have LMSs.
We offer an LMS that exploits the current Web 2.0 technology, embraces social learning and offers a total cost of ownership at a significant fraction of $780,000 through our SaaS subscription model. If you want a 100% turnkey solution, we can do that as well.

We are also offering a free, two week installation program to get you up and running fast and painlessly. We launching a total outsourced eLearning program as well, so you do not even need to add staff – just improve the productivity of your team by training them better.

So do what you know is right… Improve your environment by tossing the legacy, costly LMS and drive away with a brand new social LMS that you will impact your favorability to plan in 2010.

TOPYX has gained acceptance as the affordable, easy-to-use eLearning technology that combines traditional learning management system functionality with integrated social learning and eCommerce tools, all-in-one user-friendly, feature-rich software as a service (SaaS) application. The result is a collaborative, engaging learning experience for users, whenever they wish and wherever they may be.

How can your learning organization become more competitive in today’s marketplace?

Each quarter, the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) publishes the Learning Executive Confidence Index reflects a “modest sense of optimism among learning organizations” in Q4 2009.

Of the top 11 areas measured by the survey, the top six impact areas within learning organizations measured by the survey:

· Reduced travel for learners and trainers – 57% and 44%, respectively

· Greater shift to eLearning – 49%

· Greater reliance on informal learning – 34%

· Greater reuse of existing content – 33%

· Greater usage of Web 2.0 technologies – 27%

All of these points are areas where TOPYX® can assist any organization.

As you consider ways to keep your learning organization competitive in an increasingly competitive environment, where your current team must become more productive and new hires time to productivity must be shortened, incorporating these techniques and an affordable, easy to implement eLearning platform can help you accomplish your goals.

TOPYX liberates learners and their educators through collaboration with peers and engagement in knowledge sharing activities. Through social learning tools such as blogs, wikis and RSS feeds, learning becomes a communal, rather than autonomous, activity. Many sources of course content are combined into a rich, interactive and engaging learning experience. TOPYX eLearning solutions have been inspired and enabled by the emergence of Web 2.0, resulting in an increased emphasis on a social learning model. Educators and trainers finally have a user-friendly and highly effective tool to affordably provide learning wherever and whenever it is needed

Are you ready for all the new employees you will soon hire?

I imagine we all are looking forward to the end of this recession and grow the top line again.

The National Association for BusinessEconomics (NABE) reported yesterday that hiring and capital spending will increase over the next six months.

NABE reported in its Industry Survey that demand in Q3 2009 increased for the first time in five quarters, while the number of companies adding jobs doubled from July 2009 to October 2009.

The questions are: Are you ready for this?
Do you have the tools to support the training of your new hires?

Corporations are recognizing the need to retain new employees and enable them to more quickly achieve productivity in their new capacity and environment.


This has resulted in the adoption of formalized“onboarding” programs. In a research piece by the Aberdeen Group,results determined that the best-in-class onboarding enterprises realize a:

· 100% improved retention rates of new hires
· 60% reduced time-to-productivity for new hires
Moreover, best-in-class onboarding companies are 35% more likely to have a formal onboarding training program and twice as likely to clearly define the performance metrics assigned to their onboarding efforts. The Aberdeen Group further identifies that socialization is primary part of the onboarding efforts and that onboarding starts before a new hires first day on the job.

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®. Our eLearning 2.0education distribution technologies are paving the way in creating innovative solutions to meet the needs of today’s learner.

“What are you twelfth man on the deal team – last to know?” -- Gordon Gekko


“What are you twelfth man on the deal team – last to know?”
Gordon Gekko
1987

Ever feel sometimes that you don’t get the joke? I wonder if that sometimes happening with respect to eLearning. Cego Group, Europe’s largest learning and development company, recently completed a survey that showed employees wanted more eLearning (by 25%) and eLearning 2.0 (by 33%) (eLearning 2.0 is built around collaborative learning, using Web 2.0 tools such as blogging, forums, shoutboxes, etc). In addition, 75% of employees want more peer training and learning – social learning.

Which led me to thinking about some memorable quotes from one of my favorite movies - Wall Street…

Gordon Gekko asked Bud Fox http://www.entertonement.com/clips/27561/Wall-Street/Michael-Douglas/Gordon-Gecko/Twelfth-Man-on-the-Deal-Team “What are you twelfth man on the deal team – last to know.” Do you think the HR function is getting it? Is HR always the last to learn?

The good news is that we are talking to a lot of organizations that are getting it. That’s why they are exploring how eLearning 2.0 tools with social networking, integrated with traditional learning management functionality.

But some are not. Another great Gekko line comes to mind: http://www.entertonement.com/clips/72725/If-You-Are-Not-Inside-You-Are-Outside “If you’re not inside, then you’re outside, ok?” OK.

How can this be? Why is HR behind the curve? Is it generational?
As CEO, the question I would ask my head of HR – do you have a Facebook™ page? Over 200 million do... Which means many, if not most, of your employees or students do. If your HR head does not have a Facebook page, ask and ensure they are considering relevant collaborative eLearning tools that are on the market today.

In our marketing material, which you can review at http://www.interactyx.com/download-eLearning-topyx-brochures, we refer to research that shows that corporate learners, especially Generation X and Generation Y – are demanding eLearning tools that products, such as TOPYX™.


My last Gordon Gekko quote (promise - at least in this blog): http://www.entertonement.com/clips/27569/Wall-Street/Michael-Douglas/Gordon-Gecko/This-Is-Your-Wake-Up-Call “This is your wake up call pal. Go to work.” Listen to what the staff (and Gordon Gekko) is saying.

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.
