Cobent - Pennant Agreement
delivers end-to-end learning content creation and learning management
solution
Cobent and Pennant Information Services Ltd have entered into an
agreement which will help Cobent expand its reach within the defence
and government sectors and expand its e-learning content development
capability and will enable Pennant to expand its solutions and services
to customers by leveraging Cobent's learning management products and
expertise.
The agreement with Pennant is part of Cobent's strategy to develop
relationships with organisations that help cultivate new channels to
market, expand product offering and break into new markets and sectors.
Chris Snook, Pennant's CEO, said: "Our expertise is predominantly in
developing content for our customers. Working with Cobent gives us a
complementary partner by providing a tried and tested learning content
platform.
"Our customers benefit because not only will they have our high quality
content, but we can also provide them with the tools and knowledge for
delivering that content in the most efficient and cost effective method
to their staff."
Howard Sears, Cobent's CEO, said: "This is a significant and strategic
agreement for Cobent because it will help us bring learning management
products and consultancy services to markets - especially in
government, defence, aerospace and oil & gas - that are difficult to
enter. The combination of Pennant's content and content creation
capabilities and Cobent's experience in learning management and
delivery offers customers a very powerful and comprehensive solution."
Under the agreement, Pennant will be able to incorporate Cobent's
Learning Compliance Suite
(LCS) as part of an end-to-end solution for its customers and Cobent
will get access to Pennant's content creation services to enhance its
proposition to customers.
The Cobent Learning Compliance Suite (LCS) is a powerful set of modules
designed to make enterprise wide learning easier to manage and control.

learning, content and training management, offering organisations the
necessary tools to quickly and cost-effectively create, distribute and
track training activities online and offline. LCS consists of advanced
tools that have been built in line with global compliance standards and
