Upcoming IIL Event—The Virtual Learning Summit: People, Processes,
and Projects—to Showcase Saba Centra in Action
Saba
(NASDAQ:SABA), the premier people management software and services
provider, today announced that International
Institute for Learning, Inc. (IIL), is using Saba Centra in
innovative ways to deliver cost effective training that creates
breakthrough results. Since implementing its first session using Saba
Centra in 2001, IIL has grown to realize 30 percent of its revenue from
public, online training courses. On August 10-12, 2009 IIL will conduct
a new, interactive Virtual
Learning Summit, which will offer learners from around the world the
opportunity to experience IIL’s highly-interactive training environment
using Saba Centra.
An internationally-recognized leader, IIL offers state-of-the art
training and consulting services in project, program and portfolio
management, Microsoft Office Project and Project Server, Lean Six Sigma,
Business Analysis and PRINCE2™ to organizations in more than 120
countries. In order to reduce travel costs for its instructors as well
as meet the budget needs of its clients, in 2001 IIL selected Saba
Centra for its flexible, highly interactive and engaging environment as
well as its enterprise-class platform that could support its global
users.
As IIL began using Saba Centra, they quickly found that the pass rate
for certificates following online training remained equal to that of in
person training. Based on its proven effectiveness and initial success,
IIL continued to move a significant portion of training online with Saba
Centra and as a result IIL now trains more than 25,000 professionals
annually through its live, online instructor led courses, derives 30
percent of revenue through public online training, and is the only
organization to offer a totally virtual six sigma black belt course.
“IIL’s success illustrates how Saba Centra is a powerful way to bring
people together to facilitate effective conversations that advance
professional development and enhance business results,” said A.G.
Lambert, vice president of marketing for Saba. “It’s exciting to see the
impact that Saba Centra continues to have for IIL and its learners
around the world.”
“Since implementing Saba Centra for our online training courses, we’ve
been thrilled with the results and feedback from our students,” said
Judith W. Umlas, senior vice president, learning innovations at IIL,
author of The
Power of Acknowledgment and popular IIL trainer.
