BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Since 1937, Encore has been the trusted on-site provider of choice at over 1,500 global venues. Every day their talented professionals support more than 1,000 meeting planners and event organizers. Encore sought to transition from being strictly an ILT organization to having a balance of ILT and eLearning. To provide scalable and cost-effective training for its 10,000+ employees, Encore believed it was time to move to an enterprise-wide learning management system (LMS). Additionally, Encore wanted to establish standardized career paths to enable team members to increase their competency and confidence.

"Using SumTotal and Skillsoft to systematize career development is a competitive advantage. Having team members use the solution to drive career planning discussions with their managers will be a complete game-changer in the industry."
