Omniplex partners with Yukon Learning to introduce Cameo to Europe
Omniplex, a leading provider of e-learning solutions, has announced a
partnership with the US-based training specialists, Yukon Learning. As
part of this wide-ranging relationship, Omniplex is making Yukon
Learning's breakthrough solution for learning reinforcement and
retention - Cameo - available in Europe.
"Cameo is an outstanding product, benefiting from the deep insight into
what makes training effective that Yukon has gained through delivering
training across North America," said Matthew Lloyd, managing director
of Omniplex.
"Too often, what goes on in the classroom stays in the classroom - but
Cameo overcomes this drawback," he added. "Cameo not only offers an
innovative solution to ensure that learning interventions are effective
but also provides invaluable management information to ensure that any
shortfalls in retention can be addressed."
"There is nothing like Cameo in the marketplace today," said Yukon's
President and CEO, Chris Ayers.
"We've spent the past 20 years helping companies around the world,
working with their people to build knowledge and develop their skills.
But all too often, that initial momentum that is built during training
fades over time and, along with it, the results these companies are
expecting.
"We built Cameo to help companies sustain the momentum they build
during training and reinforce the key learning points from the training
they offer.
"We chose to partner with Omniplex because it has built up an
impressive reputation for supplying a comprehensive range of e-learning
solutions based on 'best-of-breed' products and services from the
world's leading learning technology providers," Ayers continued. "We're
delighted that Cameo has taken its rightful place among these
best-of-breed solutions from these knowledge sharing experts."
Omniplex will be marketing and supporting Cameo in the UK, Continental
Europe and North America.
"Initial customer feedback has been outstanding," said Omniplex's
Lloyd. "This innovative solution addresses a well-understood need of
learning and development practitioners, and provides a ‘value-add' for
training providers to offer their clients."
One existing Cameo user commented: "Yukon has delivered yet another
innovative solution that is right on the mark with Cameo. This software
will evolve our Managed Markets University from a training event into a
continuous learning opportunity."
Another Cameo user said: "All of our teams that have used the Cameo
system have been highly successful in reinforcing key learning points
from live training. It's a great tool that is long overdue in all
training departments."

About Cameo
Cameo is a web-based tool that delivers scenario-based learning
reinforcement via email.
Cameo focuses on the forgotten phase of learning: follow-up. Research
shows that what happens after training is often more important than
what happens during training. With Cameo, you can continually reinforce
the key learning points from any training event - and it only takes
your learners a minute each week.
The challenge with knowledge centres, learning portals and other
performance support tools is that they are only effective when the
learner decides to use them. It's the age-old question, ‘If you build
it, will they come?' Cameo differs from many other learning
reinforcement tools because it uses a ‘push' method of learning. With
Cameo, the reinforcement is delivered to the learner's doorstep.
Learners don't have to log in to another system and search for the
learning: the learning is in their Inbox.
