The ePercipio platform is a highly sophisticated, user-friendly, entertaining and interactive e-learning platform packaged in a blended learning environment. Through the application of next generation transformational LMS technology, ePercipio focuses on education, entertainment, communication, experiential learning and training, all grounded in Adult Learning Theory.

In short, it offers an organization the ability to get "more, for less."
ePercipio offers a software "suite" tools with three distinct functions; (a) a proprietary and unique "Course Builder" component allowing users to convert existing curriculum and content into a fully integrated e-learning environment; (b) testing and gap analysis which seamlessly allows comprehension testing and reporting; and (c) an e-community interface branded to individual company requirements through a customized portal. ePercipio's objective is to become the software provider "of choice" in the next generation LMS space.
Simply put, eLearning or "electronic" learning, is distance education, most often delivered via the internet. There are countless systems and ways to organize and utilize this technology, but through research and studies, it is clear it is not just a fad. It is an effective way to communicate to a massive amount of people and reach across any geography and time zone instantly. The question is not whether or not to use eLearning, but rather, how to maximize this powerful combination of human and computer to get the results you need.
There are many different applications in which eLearning can be applied; new hire training, sales & marketing education, product knowledge (for customer, vendor and internal use), compliance, certifications, etc. The possibilities are truly unlimited... and so are the benefits. Messaging stays consistent, costly and time consuming travel can be limited and audiences can be reached instantly. It's the ultimate tool for those who take a few minutes to educate themselves on how to best reach audiences through this diverse medium.
Computers are everywhere in our everyday lives... from televisions to credit cards to cell phones. Utilizing eLearning with a diverse curriculum only makes sense when attempting to reach and communicate with today's audiences. eLearning was not designed to eliminate live training events, but rather compliment them. It enables people to share ideas and collaborate instead of just being told to memorize something. However, with all of the different systems available online, we invite you to come take a look at our ePercipio online software suit. We can help you organize your curriculum, ideas and experience to get the most from your online investment. Use our 20 year history in training and education for effective and measureable results in an entertaining, engaging and dynamic online experience.
Whether small or large, corporations that need training of its associates will benefit by putting classes, or simply modules identifying new products and trends, online with testing and gap analysis. Corporations will also benefit from the e-community feature of the platform which will allow leaders, managers and colleagues to send critical strategies and messages and hold ad-hoc online meetings at a few minute's notice.
Educational, Religious, Trade or other associations that reach out to teach, train and develop its members will benefit from the ePercipio software suite. The ability to offer interactive video classes and promote collaboration and community among its members can propel these types of organizations to increase revenue by capturing markets that they could not reach before while strengthening its core membership.
Multi-level marketing companies must continually educate and motivate their agents and members to increase their effectiveness in selling and marketing their products. However, MLM's inherently suffer from the creation of many business units (usually individuals) that do not communicate with each other. ePercipio's e-community will create an environment of business units sharing constructive ideas and suggestions to increase the success of individual business units and the company as a whole.
There are many entrepreneurs in the market today who specialize in training to very limited niche markets. These can include doctors, authors, pilots, environmentalists, fitness experts, etc. who excelled in their fields of expertise and have since created lucrative businesses by offering the market something unique and different. The biggest hurdle for these entrepreneurs is the inability to expand their markets because they cannot duplicate themselves for consulting and training engagements. ePercipio's ability to convert their material and provide an online course, complete with a testing and certification process, allows these entrepreneurs to "duplicate themselves" and enlarge the market for their services.
ePercipio has structured its organization and resources in anticipation that customers will fit into three main offering categories.

Second, clients who wish to purchase the software suite and will rely on ePercipio to help them convert, create, project manage, and/or consult with them on their initiative. Third, clients who want to convert their training material and become part of a huge collection of online training offerings, hosted on ePercipio's sponsored website: www.ePercipio.com

In today's economic climate, many companies are tasked with cutting budgets and reducing staff while providing its customers an unprecedented level of quality and service. A key component in achieving this objective is progressing employees through continual education, communication, training and development. Cost-conscious companies are moving away from in-house training staff to on-demand or hosted training solutions. In addition, it is critical for organizations to react quickly to the marketplace by expeditiously communicating key messages and strategies to its associate base.
There are many training challenges and opportunities that face managers today, including:
Keeping Business Skills Up-to-Date: Today's workforce has to process more information in a shorter amount of time. Training managers feel the urgency to deliver knowledge and skills more rapidly and efficiently whenever and wherever needed. Just-in-time training becomes a critical element to add to the organizational training mix. At the same time, other modes of training, such as classroom, on-the-job, video, workbooks, etc., will continue to have important roles to play.
Improving Employee Performance and Retention: Business managers realize that corporations that offer ongoing education and training enjoy the benefits of a better-skilled workforce and a higher rate of employee retention. These benefits are increased even more when employees can see a direct correlation between various learning events and their career plans and success.
Cutting Training Cost: Organizations can no longer afford to use classroom training exclusively because of extensive travel and lodging expenses. Time spent away from the job traveling or sitting in a classroom also reduces per-employee productivity and revenue. And, employees increasingly favor training options that do not involve travel to reduce risk and time away from their families.
Increasing Flexibility: Globalization, competition, and labor shortages cause employees to work longer and harder. At the same time, today's job roles require employees to be more independent and to take on more responsibility. Modern training methods need to reflect these changes in lifestyle.
ePercipio was created to allow companies to quickly and consistently deliver online training, experiential learning and communication to an unlimited number of employees and/or consumers via an online community. ePercipio sets itself apart from current players in the space who generally fall short of delivering what is needed in today's environment. While many programs fail to hold the attention of the user, others lack the necessary tracking and reporting systems needed for managing compliance and analyzing the effectiveness of the experiential learning and training program. The advantage of ePercipio lies in combining in-house expertise in content knowledge and curriculum design expertise with an engaging, media-rich learning environment followed through with tools for testing and analysis.
ePercipio's product represents a significant value proposition by giving all organizations the tools they need to be successful in today's dynamic environment in a cost effective manner. There is a psychological advantage to embracing online learning for the younger generation of companies that are currently employing web-based technologies for communication and commerce. Such companies and their people are not only comfortable with an online learning environment; they expect it. The proliferation of e-media, e-learning and social networking applications is unavoidable. It is not a fad. It is here to stay. Consider the following facts:

The platform offers a scalable solution for organizational learning. It will serve the current needs of an organization and has the flexibility to support them in the future when the needs may change in unpredictable ways.
”Course Builder" gives clients the vehicle to be in charge of their educational, communication and training curriculum. This totally interactive platform, branded to their business, can keep their key constituents (employees, stakeholders, vendors, customers) associates continually engaged in the learning, and development process. With Course Builder, they can convert their live training sessions into a fully integrated online learning environment that can be administered easily and delivered consistently, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Course Builder comes with the following applications and will have upgrades available as needed:
"Testing and Gap Analysis": Seamlessly integrated into the Course Builder is a web-based system for comprehension testing and reporting. This Testing Module allows the client to develop and administer tests covering every element of their education, communication and training curriculum. All test parameters, such as questions, minimum passing scores, etc. can be modified and updated real-time for maximum flexibility. The testing system includes:
"Branded e-Community Interface": The entire software suite may be seamlessly integrated and branded to a client's company via a customized portal. Associates logging into the portal have the ability to customize features, update their contact information and register for courses. Users could have access to:
Back-end administrative functions provide real time analysis of user traffic, page visits, course sign-ups, etc., and can be integrated into third party databases.
Additionally, ePercipio is able to leverage the core competences of SLG to create synergistic opportunities for both organizations. These core competences and resulting synergies include:
Conversion / Consulting Services: SLG employs curriculum designers that can help facilitate live training into a more time efficient online experience. SLG is available to work with a client's training and creative team to provide technical and creative direction for merging their intellectual property and training materials into the Course Builder and Testing Modules. Experienced technical staff can consult and educate on best practices as it pertains to an online environment. As ePercipio grows, it is anticipated that it will retain its own curriculum designers and trainers. However, as the company grows it is able to outsource these functions to SLG and maintain desired cost structures.
Intellectual Property Integration: With over one hundred years of collective experience in the timeshare and fractional industry, SLG has developed powerful intellectual capital. Companies may be interested in either licensing or outright purchasing the rights to certain IP products that can be integrated into the Software Suite. ePercipio clients are able to choose from a combination of their intellectual property and SLG's proven sales system.
This is genius!! We finally have a system of accountability.
