Softtek, the Leading Near Shore® Service Provider and Knowledge Anywhere Partner to Provide E-Learning Solutions
Softtek, the Leading Near Shore® Service Provider and Knowledge Anywhere Partner to Provide E-Learning SolutionsKnowledge Anywhere, a leading provider of custom e-learning solutions and Softtek, the leader in Near Shore services for North America, have announced a partnership to design, develop and provide e-learning services. The unique blend of Knowledge Anywhere’s leading-edge e-learning expertise and Softtek’s capabilities will result in the joint development of Softtek® Knowledge BPO Services.
In 1997 the Near Shore concept was created by Softtek as an alternative to “traditional” offshore outsourcing. The idea behind the concept was to leverage Mexico’s proximity, cost structure and international trade agreements to provide U.S.-based companies with a more convenient alternative, including minimal security issues, fewer language and cultural barriers, no time-zone differences, and low turnover rates. Today, the company serves several Fortune 500 U.S. companies.
“E-learning is an iterative, collaborative and fluid process, especially in the content formation stages, requiring extensive collaboration with subject matter experts. Softtek’s large base of highly-qualified professionals, and its proven Near Shore Model is a perfect fit to address these highly interactive requirements in a low risk and cost effective fashion,” says Charlie Gillette, president and CEO of Knowledge Anywhere
Beni Lopez, CEO of Softtek USA adds, “We turned to Knowledge Anywhere because they can provide us with a significant market advantage in e-learning. Their deep understanding and forward-thinking approach will enable us to deliver an industry-leading solution to our clients.”
This partnership provides the corporate learning market the best of both worlds; customers will have U.S-based resources to support them with curriculum development as well as cost efficient, high-quality Near Shore resources for completing content coding.
