Single online portal offers integrated skills analysis and training services

Organisations can now analyse the skills of their workforce and procure training to fill any skills gaps in one online service. InfoBasis has joined up with KnowledgePool, the learning services company, to create the system.

HR directors in large and medium size organisations will be able to use the InfoBasis Enterprise Skills Infrastructureô platform to understand the range of skills within their workforce and identify precisely what training is required. Users can then select the appropriate training from a range of providers using KnowledgePool LiveBookerô, a single web-based training administration system. The system provides a comprehensive online catalogue, a simple to use booking process and sophisticated reporting functionality.

ìOur primary focus is on software for analysing and managing skills, but we have always recognised the potential to integrate with other services. This relationship will bring our solutions into the training procurement market,î said Ashley Wheaton, CEO of InfoBasis. ìKnowledgePool is a well respected provider, with over 40 yearsí experience in the training industry, and will be one of only three value-added resellers we work with in the UK.î

ìWith this one integrated solution, HR practitioners will no longer have to deal separately with analysing training needs, managing talent and coordinating the necessary training. Using the full Managed Service offering, incorporating the LiveBookerô technology, they will be able to streamline their training administration, make considerable cost savings and receive valuable management information,î said Rod Edwards, Chief Executive of KnowledgePool. ìWorking with InfoBasis, we can ensure that the right people get the right training at the right time.î
