Lithium Technologies Turns to Training JumpStart for Training Customers Online

WILTON, Conn., Dec. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Selected by Lithium Technologies to address its customer training needs, a private-branded Training JumpStart™ Portal was launched just over a year ago to deliver online, on-demand training. The Training JumpStart Portal has enabled Lithium, the leading provider of social customer solutions, to deploy an on-demand curriculum for Community Managers, Moderators, and Business Owners, to enroll clients, track usage and monitor test performance. Offered as a hosted Web service, the Training JumpStart™ Portal was chosen by Lithium over other offerings, including the product it displaced.

"Training JumpStart delivered our private-branded portal in one week, including migration of content and records previously hosted by another vendor," says Sherry Quinn, Educational Services Director, Lithium Technologies. "Training JumpStart offers us far more capabilities -- including multiple ways to enroll users and extensive reporting -- as well as superb client service surpassing our former vendor's."

As Lithium Technologies' business offerings have expanded, so has Lithium's online training: Recent additions address Social Media Monitoring, Lithium Community for Facebook, and the Lithium Engagement Center. Lithium imports Flash videos and other content into the portal as reusable modules and organizes them into a course series. Lithium is now exploring use of the robust Training JumpStart Exam Gorilla™ facility for a new certification testing program. "Gone are the days when we have to schedule a series of repeating webcasts, let alone conduct live training," adds Ms. Quinn.  "Registration, controlling access to authorized courses and reporting have all been automated so that our customers can train on demand. This approach fits our global business." Adds Hadas Rin, co-founder, Training JumpStart, "We are pleased to partner with Lithium Technologies and provide them with our rich, hosted e-learning platform plus services to promote effective e-learning."
