NIIT
and Click2learn, a leading provider of enterprise learning platforms,
have entered into a strategic development and technology alliance.
Both the companies will jointly develop e-learning and knowledge
solutions for the marketplace using Click2learn’s Aspen platform
and NIIT’s knowledge services.
NIIT
will acquire the assets of Click2learn’s custom development
business and will be the latter’s exclusive commercial custom
development partner. The alliance also establishes NIIT as a reseller
of Click2learn’s highly acclaimed Aspen Enterprise Learning
Platform and ToolBook line of products.
The
Aspen platform will be used by NIIT in development projects by its
over 500 developers and for its internal corporate university which
serves its employees in 38 countries. It will also be the foundation
for its commercial e-learning initiative, Netvarsity.com.
“When
you team the industry’s leading platform, Click2learn’s
Aspen, with one of the industry’s largest custom developers,
NIIT, together we become a significant force in the market in all
meaningful measures, including revenue, customer base, depth of
products and services offered, and technology leadership,”
said Vijay K Thadani, CEO, NIIT. “NIIT’s large footprint,
scalable infrastructure and rich experience will provide our customers
with the rapid, cost-effective content solutions they require while
allowing Click2learn to focus our resources squarely on the Aspen
Platform,” said Kevin Oakes, chairman and CEO of Click2learn.
