Giunti Labs wins Banca d'Italia e-learning project tender

Giunti Labs, a leading learning and mobile content management solution provider, has agreed a framework agreement with Italy's central bank, Banca d'Italia, to establish a catalogue of web based training (WBT) materials which the Bank's staff can access.

Giunti Labs, which has established a strong position in various sectors, is currently supporting a number of large organisations in their change management processes. In particular, Giunti Labs has developed well-structured technical solutions for managing these important and critical processes.

Under the agreement, Giunti Labs will partner Banca d'Italia in managing the Bank's learning processes. Giunti Labs is providing Banca d'Italia with a catalogue of multimedia content, along with customised content production services.

To produce some of the learning content, Giunti Labs is working with leading specialist partners to produce e-learning materials covering such topics as languages, information technology and management skills.

This contract win further establishes Giunti Labs' credentials as a strong partner, providing innovative solutions which are based on new generation technologies and orientated towards informal learning models. Moreover, these solutions are being shown to be able to support large organisations - both those in the public and private sectors.

About Banca d'Italia (Bank of Italy)

The Bank of Italy is the central bank of the Republic of Italy and part of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) and the Eurosystem. The institution pursues aims of general interest in monetary and financial matters: price stability, the primary objective of the Eurosystem under the Treaty establishing the European Community (the EC Treaty); the stability and efficiency of the financial system, thus implementing the principle of the protection of savings embodied in Italy's Constitution (Article 47(1) 'The Republic encourages and protects saving in all its forms, it regulates, coordinates and controls the provision of credit‘); and the other duties entrusted to it by Italian law.

In performing its tasks, the Bank operates autonomously and independently, in compliance with the principle of transparency and the applicable provisions of Community and Italian law.

Consistent with the public nature of its functions and aware of the importance of its tasks and responsibilities, the Bank prepares information and data for maximum dissemination.
