Northern Tool Selects eLogic Learning’s Cloud-Based LMS to Expand Learning Programs
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) December 16, 2014 -- Northern Tool + Equipment (NTE) has selected eSSential, eLogic Learning’s Learning Management System (LMS), to replace the company’s homegrown learning solution. eLogic’s cloud-based LMS will enable NTE to expand their learning and development programs to bring positive results to the business.
An antiquated system with limited capabilities, NTE’s homegrown learning management system (LMS) could no longer keep up with the company’s growth. NTE needed an LMS that would promote awareness of new learning and development opportunities with an easy-to-use interface and more system permissions for managers. For example, an employee’s manager was required to send an email to the LMS administration team any time an employee needed to be registered for training. If there was a way to give the manager permissions in the system it would eliminate unnecessary steps and reduce delays.
NTE chose the eSSential LMS (http://elogiclearning.com/essential-lms) because it was the solution that provided the relevant functionality needed to support growth and promote a culture of learning and development. Working with eLogic Learning, NTE has configured the eSSential LMS to bring the company’s training initiatives to life. NTE employees can access training when and where they want using eLogic’s cloud-based LMS platform. The customizable course catalog is easy to find and employees can register and launch a course all from one place. Live and virtual learning events are supported within the eSSential LMS as well, which wasn’t the case with NTE’s old solution.
Reporting capabilities in the LMS allow administrators to track and analyze training in a way that wasn’t previously possible. In only the first four months after implementing the eSSential LMS, the average number of course completions have increased by 34%.

NTE has been pleased with the results they’ve had using eSSential and look forward to continually expanding their learning and development offerings.
“The eSSential LMS has allowed us to empower our employees to take control of their development. With the flexibility and configurability of the system, we created a customized experience for our employees that gives them access to the developmental tools they need, when they need them,” says Mary J. Anderson, Manager of Learning & Development for NTE.
