MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2007--SumTotal(R)
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUMT), a global provider of talent and learning
management solutions, announced that InPhonic, a leading online seller
of wireless services and products, launched ResultsOnDemand(TM) to
deliver training management tools for its call center agents, as well
as track and manage their performance. 'ResultsOnDemand' is SumTotal's
subscription model for analyzing employee performance and delivering
learning over the Internet.
"We saw SumTotal's platform as an excellent addition to our
customer experience initiatives, and also a great employee training
product that could grow with our needs. We believe having
better-trained and better-educated call center agents will improve our
overall customer satisfaction," said Brian Curran, InPhonic's COO. "By
tapping the SumTotal platform, InPhonic aims to ensure that the
content and quality of its ongoing training and coaching programs are
consistent across all teams within the organization."
"We believe employers, like InPhonic, often choose our system
because we can quickly deliver the education workers need to solve
problems and delight customers," said Dave Crussell, chief operating
officer of SumTotal. "We feel our software strategically steers
employees to what they need to learn about their employer's products
and services in order to deliver superior customer service."
As part of the ResultsOnDemand package - and to provide an
enterprise-wide learning platform for its call center employees -
InPhonic engaged: TotalLMS(TM), SumTotal's learning management system
(LMS); TotalLCMS(TM), the software maker's learning content management
system (LCMS); and, Skills and Competencies(TM).
In implementing SumTotal's system, InPhonic hopes to enhance the
effectiveness of its call center operations as well as improve
efficiencies between the sales and customer service call center teams.
TotalLMS can provide InPhonic a way to deliver structured and
consistent content during new-hire training and quickly disseminate
information during product launches.
"With SumTotal's platform, we believe we can fill a growing desire
and need to track a call center agent's training and performance from
the time they are hired through their entire employment," said Megan
Nehr, Training & Communications for InPhonic. "We feel the SumTotal
service will give us a better way to manage training content and
communications that we send to our employees."
