MONTREAL, June 28 2006 - Technomedia Training Inc., an industry leader
in talent management and human capital development solutions, today
launched TM SIGALR 4.3, the latest version of its Web-based software. TM
SIGALR allows organizations to accelerate talent development by
optimizing and integrating the management of several human resources and
e-learning processes in a configurable and user-friendly system. As a
direct result of customer demand, Technomedia is releasing this new
version, which includes a number of significant additions, as part of
the deliverables identified in the TM SIGALR product roadmap.
The new TM SIGALR Knowledge Management Module allows for the collection,
characterization, distribution and leveraging of an organization's core
knowledge and offers tools for sharing and utilizing this knowledge
through communities of practice. This enables organizations to get the
most out of their greatest asset: employee knowledge.
The integration of Adobe (Macromedia) Breeze virtual classrooms within
TM SIGALR is now possible in a completely transparent way. The
preparation, delivery and tracking of Adobe (Macromedia) Breeze
synchronous, remote training sessions over Internet Protocol can be done
via TM SIGALR Learning Management System (LMS), as simply as with all
other training activities.
"We are very proud of launching TM SIGALR version 4.3 as it represents a
significant commitment to innovation in talent management applications.
Version 4.3 will provide our clients with more functionality,
flexibility and simplicity while keeping up with short delivery
intervals, high quality and affordable costs, which are our distinctive
characteristics," said Alain Latry, president and CEO of Technomedia.
Contributing to the Service Oriented Architecture industry trend, new
custom Web Services Interfaces for integrating TM SIGALR to Enterprise
Service Bus (ESB) solutions such as SAP/XI can be delivered to a client
organization. This new function will facilitate the exchange of
information and interaction among systems. It should also reduce
integration costs by providing a common repository for interfaces
between an organization's legacy systems and applications and
best-of-breed solutions such as TM SIGALR.
Additional functionalities are now available with TM SIGALR Talent
Management such as specific assessment periods per year and an
organizational chart linked to succession planning. As well, TM SIGALR
Performance Management is enhanced with the addition of cascading
objectives and the creation of employee-specific goals based on a
predefined dictionary of objectives.
"We are demonstrating once again that we listen to our customers and
deliver solutions that meet their needs. We believe that today's global
organizations have an immediate need for Web-based, user-friendly,
integrated solutions to meet increasing human resources management
challenges. We strive to provide a complete solution to those
challenges, ensuring our customers' competitive advantage in today's
hunt for talents," said Latry.
