| Toyota Motor Europe Partners With Vuepoint To Provide Learning Management System To 30+ European Markets LONG ISLAND, NY, April 12, 2006 Toyota Motor Europe (TME) has chosen Vuepoint, a solutions provider that rapidly transfers product and brand knowledge throughout enterprises and complex sales channels, to provide the knowledge infrastructure needed to reach their sales goal of 1.2 million cars by the year 2010. TME chose Vuepoint based on the company’s ability to provide a Learning Management System (LMS) that encompasses the flexibility, modularity and ease of use needed to handle the multiple requirements and challenges posed by an expansive, multilingual, multicultural marketplace. In contrast to more traditional, classroom-based training, the Vuepoint Learning System (VLS) will provide TME with:
“By providing a rapid means of product and brand knowledge transfer, the VLS system is the optimal platform to support our business objective of significantly raising our European sales,” said Rick Taniguchi, General Manager, Toyota Academy Europe. “The VLS is unencumbered by time, language and culture differences.” Vuepoint’s European office – headquartered in Brussels – manages all aspects of the company’s partnership with TME, including an onsite deployment team that supports and maintains the system. “Having successfully implemented e-learning platforms to support the company’s operations in the US and in Canada, we are excited to expand our relationship with Toyota throughout Europe,” said Ara Ohanian, president & CEO, Vuepoint. “The VLS has a proven track record of supporting large training initiatives that require the rapid transfer of key product and brand knowledge to a vast and growing employee base.” |
“The VLS system has not only raised the amount of registrants we have for each course – but it has greatly increased the speed in which we educate our employees on important business information,” said Phillipe Gaultier, Sales and Service Training Director, Toyota France. “We have reduced training time from four to two days and we are now able to track which employees have completed which courses – an invaluable tool as we seek to reach our sales goals. Better trained, better educated employees mean higher sales.” Since the company’s inception in 1996, Vuepoint has provided industry leaders such as Black & Decker, The Hartford Insurance, Whirlpool and Toyota North America with the ability to create product and brand training content for their employees. Vuepoint’s agile, highly interoperable platform allows companies to customize and localize their content rapidly and with ease.
