Improving Efficiency

IMC Presents New Features for Its eLearning Products

Saarbrücken (GER), July 2015 - IMC AG has made a commitment to continuously develop its products and provide its customers with the most innovative and efficient systems available. With the Innovation Pack 5, the full-service provider for digital learning is offering an update for three of its products to the market: the learning-management system "Learning Suite", the eLearning authoring software "Content Studio", and the electronic performance-support system "Process Guide".

Acting entirely in its customers’ interests, IMC has focused this release on two major subjects currently causing a stir in the corporate world: compliance and on-‘the-job training. However, this release also contains many other features geared at improving the efficiency of corporate eLearning.

Easy compliance training for compliance officers

Everyone responsible for the implementation and safeguarding of corporate compliance measures knows how important legally compliant actions are in compliance-critical situations. Such responsibilities include the distribution of relevant content, differentiation of the target groups, control and generation of reports for various goals, and much more.

These tasks can take up a lot of time − but not when IMC’s Compliance Portal is deployed: In next to no time, users can create their own compliance training, specify target groups, and generate regular reports on employee compliance. All these features will help to efficiently implement an integrated compliance-management system within the company. The reports, which are fully configurable depending on the objective, can be generated in a few clicks in a clear graphic layout.

The new version of the electronic performance-support system, IMC Process Guide, also deals with the topic of compliance in detail. For example, new employees can be made aware of current company e-mail guidelines as they are actually writing a business e-mail, and confirmation that they have received this instruction can be requested. Confirmations, rejections, and any deviations from standard process are automatically logged and made available in compliance reports. If users have questions, they can directly contact the compliance officer via the Process Guide comments function.

Structured support of everyday work thanks to on-the-job training

The "on-the-job training" feature of IMC’s learning-management system, the IMC Learning Suite, offers an efficient and clearly organised work structure. The module supports all mentor-training scenarios, where experienced employees share their knowledge with new colleagues. Whether apprenticeships, initial trainings, coachings, or other scenarios, the module maps all learning processes into a structured and clear overview and standardises them.

Thanks to the graphically appealing checklist and display of the learning progress, employees can see their tasks and their progress in the course at a glance. With just one click, the supervisor can assess whether the task has been completed by the employees, as well as see their relevant data. All data is stored centrally in the system and can be viewed by anyone from any terminal device.

Whether users are compliance officers, supervisors, or trainees, thanks to the responsive design, they can work just as easily on their smartphones or tablets as on their desktop computers.

Other new features of the IMC Learning Suite at a glance

PayPal integration now makes it possible to purchase media via a tablet or smartphone: when ready to pay, users are quickly and securely forwarded to the PayPal website! Thanks to new intelligent technology, hacked smartphones and tablets can be identified and blocked for eLearning use in a company. In order to minimise possible misuse of the data, an additional access code or login details may be requested. Our “google-like” Smart Search ensures a seamless search by immediately displaying the results according to the classification!

User-generated content as the focus of the development

The latest IMC Content Studio updates make it even easier for users to generate content. With the modern screen-recording tool, employees can create content at the click of a button and then distribute it, for example, via the cloud. In addition to screen recordings, voice and webcam recordings are also available. Thanks to the ability to simultaneously record the different media, this feature can be applied in a wide range of applications.
