Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company Chooses TrainCaster LMS to Manage Training Records

Watlow selects the TrainCaster LMS-Only configuration as the learning management solution best suited to their current, and evolving, training needs.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 31, 2005 -- Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company has selected TrainCaster LMS to manage their training records. Watlow is not yet ready to deliver online courses, but needs a records management solution that gives them the flexibility to manage completion records, assignments, and due dates, while also giving them a clear upgrade path as their training needs change and grow over time. TrainCaster LMS recently introduced an LMS-Only configuration option that offered Watlow the ideal training solution.

"TrainCaster's LMS-Only option was introduced to meet a specific training need of organizations that are beginning to migrate to online training, but are not yet ready to commit to delivering online courses," states Grace Sharp, director of marketing. "Organizations that have a need to keep track of training completion records and manage training assignments, but do not have training content that is ready to go, can take advantage of this option. We offer a variety of configurations, which allows us to keep the solution flexible enough to meet a wide range of records management needs."

Watlow was attracted to TrainCaster's feature-rich, yet still affordable, training management solution. TrainCaster LMS product updates are immediately available to Watlow, they require no additional cost or effort, and the solution does not require a full-time administrator.

Watlow has also opted to deploy TrainCaster's training delivery module, in a limited format. While no courses are delivered via this module, they can assign courses, and send automated reminders and completion notices to trainees. Trainees can also track their training assignments, progress, and status using the system. Registration for classroom training sessions directly from the course assignment list is also available.

Watlow's deployment of TrainCaster's LMS-Only option is helping the organization move from a cumbersome, inefficient paper-based management system, to an automated, more efficient system. Noted Lynn Stockdale, executive vice president of TrainCaster LMS, "Our primary goal is to provide relevant, affordable training management solutions to clients. Our partnership with Watlow is just one example of our commitment to provide solutions that meet the needs of our clients."
