Vuepoint Launches VLS 5.0 - New, Customer-Driven Version of Its Successful Sales Training Platform


LONG ISLAND, N.Y., March 24, 2005 Vuepoint, a leading training solutions provider for the sales and marketing channel, today announced the launch of the Vuepoint Learning System (VLS) version 5.0, which contains substantial upgrades conceived directly from user requests.

VLS version 5.0 differs from previous versions by offering:
  • Customizable "skins" that maintain company branding and optimize Web page real estate for content;
  • Data analytics - including trend and regression analysis that offer a much-needed understanding of how certain training factors relate to field performance;
  • Online wizards that manage the interface - which, in the past, required a human administrator;
  • Dynamic reports that allow customers to customize data organization;
  • Fully-integrated infrastructure that works seamlessly with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Resources software;
  • Templates for content that encapsulate visual and instructional design to allow content developers to quickly design in a low-cost, high-impact manner.
"VLS 5.0 represents much more than an evolution of the technology we have successfully deployed for companies like Toyota, Black & Decker and Whirlpool - it is a leap-forward in many important areas requested by some of the world's most recognized companies," said Ara Ohanian, President & CEO, Vuepoint. "It is a product of our customer-driven mantra and allows our clients to even more effectively align their training with demonstrable business results".

One area of customer feedback, a desire for increased simplicity in data, interface and administrative management, resulted in changes for VLS 5.0 to remove the need for human administrators in these areas. This also makes VLS 5.0 an ideal fit for mid-to-large enterprises of up to 20,000 users who do not have the capability or desire to use internal resources for ongoing support. On the content side, developers are able to customize "skins" and utilize online wizards in order to more easily and efficiently create effective training programs that maintain brand integrity and guarantee key knowledge transfer channel-wide.

 



 
"Twice a year, we hold client forums where we interact directly with our customers" said Andrzej Pienczykowski Chief Technology Officer of Vuepoint. "This, along with market research, surveys and executive interviews, provides us with important information on the business issues our customers are and will be facing. VLS 5.0 was developed by Vuepoint - but conceived by the people who incorporate it into their employee training programs everyday."

Since its inception in 1997, the VLS system, has offered same-day implementation for a single platform, Web-based solution, either hosted or behind a client's firewall. The platform allows for On Demand implementation, either hosted or behind a firewall - a unique feature that is lacking in today's marketplace. There are no hidden implementation delays or surprise costs, and employees at all levels can access the full compliment of system capabilities immediately. For companies seeking to quickly transfer product and brand knowledge to a geographically-dispersed sales force, this can make a multi-month difference in deployment time, while eliminating the time and geographical hurdles associated with more traditional modes of sales training, such as offsite meetings.
