Expertus Wins a Prestigious Bersin & Associates Award for "Vendor Innovation"


MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - February 14, 2011) - Expertus (www.expertus.com), a global provider of software and services that optimize the business impact of learning, today announced that ExpertusONE™ has been honored in the Vendor Innovation in Learning and Talent Management category in the Bersin & Associates 2011 Learning Leaders program. The Learning Leaders program is designed to drive research, recognize success, and share best practices with the learning community.

Expertus submitted an entry based on its work with two global organizations that successfully implemented ExpertusONE™ (www.expertusone.com), a revolutionary new social learning platform that brings together formal, informal and collaborative learning for all audiences across the enterprise -- employees, customers and channel partners. 

"We are delighted to be honored by Bersin & Associates for innovation -- an important element of our global initiatives," said Ramesh Ramani, founder and CEO of Expertus. "We are proud to be ahead of the curve in bringing new, innovative learning technology to the marketplace and this honor underscores our success."

"Modern, high-impact learning organizations are looking for technology solutions that support continuous learning," said David Mallon, principal analyst, Bersin & Associates. "This new platform from Expertus provides the right mix of established learning management functional maturity, adaptive platform flexibility and open data architecture that continuous learning enablement demands."

Bersin & Associates' 2011 Learning Leaders include 28 organizations selected from hundreds of applications spanning technology, financial services, healthcare, transportation and management consulting. Winners also include providers of training and talent management solutions and services. In the face of an economic recovery, this year's winning submissions were focused on finding and growing the right mix of talent, rather than on managing existing talent and learning needs as were last year's submissions. As in past years, the awards program was conducted by Bersin & Associates in partnership with Elearning! magazine.
