Giunti Labs expands into Germany

Having recently entered the North American, South American and Spanish markets, Giunti Labs, Europe's leading vendor of e-learning and mobile learning content management solutions (LCMS), has expanded its international presence even further by establishing an office in Frankfurt, Germany and specifically targeting the German speaking markets for LCMSs.

In addition, Giunti Labs has launched a German version of its learn eXact LCMS platform, as well as launching the Giunti Labs' German website.

"Public organisations, higher education institutions and privately held companies in the German market are now implementing human capital development strategies and this is involving learning content production, dissemination and management," said Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of Giunti Labs, "Our learn eXact LCMS Suite is the world's leading e-learning and mobile learning content management technology.

"It is installed in more than 100 university, corporate and industry e-learning content production centres. Our international clients include big multinational companies such as Scania, Thales and Ericsson."

"Because the German economy has been experiencing stable and continuous growth, organisations are now willing to invest money in their human capital to increase competencies and develop knowledge management facilities," explained Rolf Hartmann, Giunti Labs' Manager for Germany.

"This includes the use of e-learning software tools and platforms, the development of customised content and ‘state of the art' distribution of that content to PCs, laptops and mobile devices as printable versions of the content in ‘pdf' format and Word documents.

"Products and services provided by Giunti Labs support the single source concept of one central knowledge repository for developing, maintaining, managing and delivering localised content to employees and customers," he added. "That single source is adapted to learners' personal profiles and to the local technical infrastructure - incurring fewer costs yet providing higher value."
