COLUMBIA, MD--(Marketwire - May 12, 2008) - Avilar, Inc., a leading provider of competency
management and learning management solutions, today announced their
acceptance by Amer Technology, a prime contractor for the FasTrac
e-learning program, to provide web-based workforce development services to
federal government organizations.
FasTrac is a federal program that provides a wide variety of e-learning and
consulting products and services to federal government organizations at a
pre-negotiated discounted rate. Through FasTrac, federal agencies can
quickly and easily purchase products and services from industry-leading
training companies. The FasTrac program, a government "learning solutions
cooperative" was developed to foster cooperation among government
organizations to maximize learning technology interoperability and
eliminate redundant development of advanced learning technologies.
"Our acceptance by FasTrac as a qualified partner validates our ability to
provide exceptional training and human capital management products with
superior customer service," stated Tom Grobicki, Avilar's Chief Executive
Officer. "Maximizing workforce performance is key to productivity and
competitive advantages in both the public and private sectors. Through our
solutions, federal agencies can effectively develop talent development
programs that become an ongoing part of their organization's success."
In fall 2007, Avilar released new versions of its flagship products --
WebMentor Learning Management System (LMS) and WebMentor iSkills Competency
Management System. The new versions of the products further improve the
capabilities for Avilar's customers and partners to deliver and manage
e-learning and talent management initiatives. Avilar's WebMentor iSkills
competency management system enables organizations to better analyze
organizational skill gaps and training needs, search their employee skills
inventory and monitor changes in skills over time. Avilar's WebMentor LMS
helps organizations better manage blended learning curricula and perform
detailed analysis of course completion and training certification.
Joe Piazza, director of FasTrac program, said, "FasTrac is pleased to
welcome Avilar into our federal government program. Avilar has
consistently delivered results for its clients, and we're confident their
human capital management products will be of great interest to federal
agencies seeking to implement meaningful learning and development programs
for their staffs."
