Operitel Corporation Wins Silver Brandon Hall Learning Technology Award

OPERITEL CORPORATION has won a coveted Brandon Hall silver award for technology excellence in the BEST ADVANCE IN SOCIAL LEARNING TECHNOLOGY category for its newest product LearnFlex™ Connect. Connect is a complete and fully configurable social learning platform which seamlessly integrates into Operitel's Learning Management System, LearnFlex ™. Connect is easy to use, thanks to its consistent and intuitive user interface. Employees get all of the enjoyable features of external social media networks, without any of the security risks. Users can post, discuss, and collectively analyze ideas, while the company capitalizes on the collective knowledge-capital gained from an active intra company social scene.

"We're honored to receive the Brandon Hall silver award, " said Michael Skinner, Chief Executive Officer of Operitel Corporation. "Brandon Hall Group is a very well respected organization in the learning industry."

The Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Technology Awards are presented by Brandon Hall Group, a leading research firm in training and development. The Learning Technology Awards program showcases innovations in products in the marketplace for creating and managing learning, talent, and performance.

"These excellent tools and systems are the cutting edge of learning technology, " said Tom Werner, chief research officer and director of the Awards program. "They really change for the better how people learn in the workplace."

"The key to understanding the value of social media from a training and development standpoint is its organic quality, " explains Skinner. "It's collaborative, conversational, interactive and engaging. With social media, everyone is a creator, producer and expert. Companies and users can collectively discuss and test their ideas in a meaningful and measurable way. All voices are heard, while the good ideas bubble to the top. The end result is an increased return on investment."
