Emirates Group selects Plateau Systems for enterprise-wide learning
management
Plateau to Facilitate Training and Development for Award-winning
International Airline and Travel Corporation.
Plateau Systems, a leading provider of software for developing,
managing and optimising organisational skills and talent, has announced
that the Emirates Group, which operates one of the fastest growing
airlines in the world, has selected Plateau_s proven, highly-scalable
learning management systems (LMS) to support learning and development
for its global workforce.
"In an increasingly competitive and demanding environment, retaining
the quality and effectiveness of learning and development while
reducing costs is a key focus of the Emirates Group," said Linda Al
Ansari, Manager T&D eLearning and IT at Emirates Group.
"Plateau is a critical enabler of our flexible learning and development
strategy. As a critical part of the core infrastructure for our
learning initiatives, Plateau will enable Emirates to meet current and
future corporate training needs while facilitating and expediting
employee and partner training and development across the globe."
To support its continued business growth and expansion, Emirates has
adopted a learner-centric approach to training employees and partners.
This initiative encourages individuals to take responsibility for their
own learning and development, and allows training and development
professionals within the organisation to focus on enhancing performance
and facilitating learning.
In selecting a technology partner to compliment and enable this
initiative, Emirates outlined key business and technical requirements
and assessed vendors according to detailed feature and functional
criteria, including scheduling, registration, course delivery and
tracking, standards support and compliance, scalability, ability to
integrate with third party tools and systems, and ease of use.
Following a thorough evaluation, Plateau was selected as the critical
enterprise-wide infrastructure for delivering and managing online
learning to support the training and development of Emirates'
employees, partners and customers, worldwide. Plateau will also be used
to track and improve Emirates' training effectiveness and performance.
Emirates Group highlighted Plateau's proven scalability, strong
customer satisfaction and support ratings, and compliance with critical
learning industry standards including SCORM and AICC as key factors
driving their selection.
"We are pleased that Emirates has selected Plateau as the underlying
infrastructure supporting their training and development initiatives,"
said Paul Sparta, chairman and CEO, Plateau. "As a leader in the highly
competitive travel and tourism market, Emirates is an excellent example
of an organisation looking to increase growth and sustain competitive
advantage by implementing an effective people management strategy that
focuses on empowering employees within the organisation to advance
their training and development."
