ANCILE Lifts Barriers to Regulatory Compliance and Application Adoption with Personalized Learning and Support

ELKRIDGE, Md., Sept. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Companies are continuing to struggle and create impactful training programs as IDC recently reported that enterprise application projects are missing about half of their project objectives on average. ANCILE, the global leader of learning and performance enablement software solutions chosen by global companies and over half of the Fortune 100, has found that traditional training is giving way to personalized learning and on-demand performance support. The goal is to impact employee performance, workforce compliance, and positive business outcomes.

A recent IDC report showed that over the past 12 months, spending on self-facilitated eLearning and online learning has increased significantly while disconnected training events and traditional documentation has decreased. The report also noted that the skills of the project team and workforce are the biggest factors of a successful initiative. ANCILE is seeing this shift at a rapid pace across the industries it serves, including expansion into healthcare, financial services, and retail and is redefining the role of training for its customers.

ANCILE's engagement in the healthcare industry was recently highlighted by its work with Infirmary Health. Infirmary Health is Alabama's largest non-government healthcare team, devoted to patient care through three acute-care hospitals, three rehabilitation hospitals, three outpatient facilities and 22 medical clinics. A swift, straightforward approach to learning was used to align and ease priorities, processes and compliance demands while implementing new systems supporting current Electronic Medical Records standards.

As the nature and speed of work continues to evolve, so does the need to adopt personalized learning and enablement strategies over traditional training methods; ANCILE is seeing the following trends in its customer base into 2015:

• Process Compliance – Business and operational leaders are focusing heavily on strategies to ensure employees are compliant in their actions, processes, and transactions. An internal process compliance program that really works yields compliance to market needs, customer demands, and federal regulations. Companies must ensure workers on the front lines are compliant to prescribed processes in order to satisfy customers, reduce risk, and, of course, avoid costly fines and penalties. Leaders can support employees with real-time information and ongoing change management, as well as the validation that information is received and understood.
• Enabling the Mobile Worker – The percentage of mobile workers continues to increase across all organizations and industries. Because of the decrease of workers in an office, learning and performance support must meet the employees where they are. Current spending in this area focuses on a few powerful sentiments. It must be relevant, timely, consumable, and current.
• Real-time Performance Support – Business leaders and workers are becoming increasingly impatient and intolerant of the expense and ineffectiveness of traditional classroom training. No matter what the generation, workers need what they need and when they need it. The ability for leaders and subject experts to develop, push, and maintain valuable content and information is the key to success. Businesses are looking to technologies to enable everyone in the workforce to succeed and be supported on the job.

"The trends we are seeing coming down the pike, coupled with the increased demand for personalized learning means that everyone will need to change the way they train and enable their employees," said Frank Lonergan, Chief Executive Officer of ANCILE. "Learning needs are evolving and organizations need to acknowledge these changes. Compliance will always be a crucial requirement for all organizations so ensuring that employees are getting what they need to effectively do their jobs will matter much more to a company's success moving forward. Organizations need to enable and support their workforces with 'just in time, just enough and just for me' learning capabilities."

In 2015, ANCILE will be expanding its capabilities in EMEA and Australia while continuing to grow its base of 19 million users across 88 countries worldwide.
