Reuters Selects Oracle's Learning Management System to Support 'Self Service Learning'
Reuters Invests In Enterprise-Wide Implementation of the Oracle(r) iLearning And
Oracle Training Administration Modules of the Oracle E-Business Suite (http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/?1525090)
Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL), the world's largest enterprise software company, today announced that Reuters, the global information, news and technology group, has purchased the Oracle(r) Training Administration (OTA) and Oracle iLearning modules of the Oracle E-Business Suite. The software will provide an enterprise learning management system for global use by the company's 18,000 employees.
Reuters has already gone live with Oracle OTA across Continental Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and is currently deploying the module across the rest of the organization. Integration and deployment of Oracle iLearning is scheduled to follow in 2003.
The Oracle Learning Management System will allow Reuters to provide an integrated learning platform to its global workforce. Reuters plans to further integrate the learning platform with Oracle Financials to allow tracking of costs associated with training activities across the organization. Specifically, Reuters expects to have a clear consolidated view of training resources, providing it with a much higher level of management and control than previously possible. Additionally, Reuters expects to be able to take advantage of savings through the re-use of training content and the reduction in training-related costs.
Chris Pirie, vice president of iLearning for Oracle Worldwide, said: " Oracle iLearning and Oracle Training and Administration are more than a learning management system. They are part of an integrated e-business infrastructure that supports and integrates with business critical applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP). Reuters is leveraging its existing investment in Oracle applications and enhancing the functionality that they deliver, to achieve time and cost savings."
Charles Jennings, head of internal training at Reuters, said: "Oracle Training Administration and iLearning will enable Reuters employees to better plan and track their career development. The Oracle infrastructure will allow us to deliver and manage learning more effectively by providing better tools to capture and co-ordinate training information, as well as greater flexibility in monitoring and assessing learning. Combined with the benefits of out-of-the-box integration with Oracle Human Resources and Oracle Procurement, we expect to achieve significant benefit across the board from our global training program."
