Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) June 6, 2007 -- Learn.com®, the leader in on-demand workforce development and productivity, announced today that Harvard Clinical Research Institute (HCRI), an academic clinical research organization located in Boston, Massachusetts, has selected the Learn.com LearnCenter® platform, to provide on-demand compliance and development training to clinical research personnel.

HCRI is an FDA regulated environment where training is required by law. The Institute's main goals are to enable users and administrators to easily see what training is required and to automate and document the compliance process in one central system.

The Harvard Clinical Research Institute has been very happy with the LearnCenter platform's reporting capabilities including linking with Crystal reports, enabling single sign-on capabilities and linking with Microsoft Outlook for notifications. Currently HCRI is using the platform's assignments and development plan features but will be expanding the scope as they continue to work with the system to meet corporate education objectives.

Learn.com has added value to the organization by allowing the Institute to move from a hybrid training record (some paper and some electronic) to a completely electronic format, which will make it easier to attain compliance and provide accessible reporting for all of its employees and provide useful management reporting.
