Pioneering eLearning Company, Convene, Acquired by Founder
Learning Technology Partners (LTP), a San Francisco based
eLearning integration and outsourcing company, today announced the acquisition
of Convene, a leading enterprise performance improvement company specializing
in collaborative eLearning solutions.
"With the acquisition of Convene, its learning
platform, and its data centers, we are able to offer our clients yet another
possible selection when designing their overall learning solutions through
LTP," said Reda Athanasios, President of Learning Technology Partners.
"This integration is a giant step towards achieving our ultimate
goal - to continue to extend our product offerings to include a variety
of vendors' products and services in all areas of the eLearning experience,
whether it be content, platform, or supplemental tools."
Convene, established in 1993, has been closing the gap
between learning processes and increased productivity for nearly ten years
by creating collaborative learning solutions for some of the world's leading
corporations and academic institutions. Convene's industry-leading learning
platform combines the best of traditional training processes, day-to-day
interaction and collaboration among peers, and just-in-time performance
support into a single intuitive process, delivered completely via the Internet
with no software to install or hardware to buy.
Under the leadership of Athanasios, the co-founder
and President of Convene from 1993-2000, Learning Technology Partners
will refocus Convene's efforts on its core business: educational and corporate
customers in need of complete eLearning solutions that can be quickly
deployed. According to Athanasios, "It is about time that customers
get what they have been asking for - a blended solution without the hassles
of dealing with multiple vendors - finally true best of breed in one-stop-shopping."
LTP's immediate focus will be on meeting the needs
of its current customers during this transition period. "Our
clients are our highest priority," said Susan McKenna, former
Vice President of Sales at Convene. McKenna has joined the team at LTP
and will be focusing her efforts on ensuring Convene customers experience
a seamless transition. "Our clients will be unable to detect
any changes, whether it be at the level of the user taking an eLearning
course or at the institution level in the form of relationship management
and customer service," assured McKenna.
