Giunti Labs rebrands to eXact learning solutions after management
buy-out
Giunti Labs, the
leading online and mobile learning content management and digital
repository solution provider, announced today that it is undergoing
a management buy-out by the management which started its activities
within Giunti Editore Publishing Group during the '90s. At the same
time Giunti Labs has rebranded to eXact learning solutions from 1st
August.
The new management
team, which acquires the company with the financial support of
private capital investors, confirmed Fabrizio Cardinali, the former
Giunti Labs' CEO and, currently, the chair of the European Learning
Industry Group (ELIG), as CEO of the new set-up. European
headquarters are confirmed to be in Italy (Florence, Milan, Rome and
Sestri Levante), whilst American lead offices will be in Athens and
Atlanta (Georgia, USA) and the activities in Asia Pacific market
will be coordinated from Perth (Western Australia).
eXact learning
solutions' offering will include former Giunti Labs' learning
content management and digital repository solutions, the eXact LCMS™
for the corporate and industry markets and the Harvestroad Hive DR™
for academic, defence and Government initiatives, together with the
eXact Method™ consulting methodology.
To date, this
methodology has been used in more than 100 worldwide installations
within the finance, banking, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, retail,
telecoms and media industries as well as within large defence,
educational and eGovernment initiatives. All of these involved
clients willing to change and improve business processes via
templates and standards based blended content production as well as
content management for learning, knowledge, training and performance
support.
eXact learning
solutions will continue to be engaged in the leading EU R&D
framework projects and offer the multi-language content production
activities formerly offered by Giunti Labs.
Albino Bertoletti and
Fabrizio Cardinali, co-founders of Giunti Labs' activities during
the ‘90s, have been elected President and CEO of the new company,
eXact learning solutions. Bertoletti commented: "We're really
excited about this new venture.
"We began pioneering
optical media and digital TV in the ‘90s. Those were great days
because we could focus on innovative instructional design and
publishing formats rather than on system infrastructures and content
management needs, which are particularly relevant in today's digital
world.
"In the era of the
iPad and iPhone, our dreams of affordable and effective learning
devices bringing your contents to you where you need them,
personalised to your needs and abilities, have begun to make it to
market. But still, to be effective and efficient, these new
‘Personal Media' need even more powerful infrastructures, platforms
and tools on the back-end for single source, multi channel content
production and delivery."
"Advancing research
and development in today's personalisation needs for learning
content is paramount," Cardinali added.
"Without an effective
content-centric strategy you cannot make your content and learning
initiatives effective in a repeatable and cost efficient way.
"With Giunti Editore
Group, we had achieved a extremely large international footprint but
the group's internal and multifaceted needs also absorbed a
tremendous amount of energy and focus in recent times. This has made
our core business increasingly challenging," he continued.
"That's why we're
spinning off this new adventure. With the many new digital
production and distribution models out there, diving deep only into
the publishing industry would have been too narrow a focus for us.
"On the other hand, the publishing experience has been extremely
valuable for us as it has provided us with solid skills and
competencies that we will now use for our new broader market.
"After all, as the
saying goes, ‘all media were ‘new' once!' and we now have experience
of dealing with the advent and acceptability of new media in the
publishing sector. This will be useful in helping us to address new
devices and challenges across all sectors in the future."
From 1st August,
Giunti Labs' website will be redirected to the new company's website
