Reuters reaches for a Plateau

E.learning Age, Feb 2007

Reuters, the world's largest international news and financial information source, has selected Plateau's Integrated learning management system (LMS). Reuters will deploy Plateau's fully hosted LMS solution to support and streamline elearning and training initiatives across its organisation.

Following a competitive evaluation and thorough assessment of several vendors, Reuters chose Plateau's solution and will integrate the content libraries from key suppliers to create a single catalogue environment for learners.

Deploying and relying on Plateau to manage and support the solution in a hosted environment will enable Reuters to reduce administrative overhead, expedite upgrades and maintenance as well as increase use of the system throughout the organisation.

Andy MacGovern, Head of Learning for Technology at Reuters said: "From a technology perspective, we are confident in Plateau's ability to deliver the critical features and functionality required to meet our e-learning goals while integrating quickly and seamlessly with our existing systems. In addition, with Plateau hosting and supporting the solution, Reuters will be able to free up internal resources for other projects, which will save us time and money.

Paul Sparta, Chairman and CEO of Plateau, said:"We are pleased that Reuters - one of the world's premier providers and distributors of news and financial information and one of the UK's most innovative and progressive organisations - has chosen Plateau to manage its critical e-learning and training needs."
