Montreal, Canada - March 5th, 2007- Technomedia Training Inc., the Canadian industry leader in web-based talent management and human capital development solutions today announced its partnership with world renowned gastronomy, hospitality and training specialist, Groupe Alain Ducasse.

The Groupe Alain Ducasse employs a mobile and diverse workforce: over 1400 people in a variety of Hospitality sectors across three continents. As such, the organization identified several strategic objectives for its workforce: managing recruitment and mobility, managing performance and training, identifying talent and career aspirations.

Technomedia’s TM SIGAL® is an integrated platform that provides the Groupe Alain Ducasse with a flexible, intuitive web-based solution to their specific human resources management challenges.
