Knoodle Wins Two Awards for the 2011 Brandon Hall Excellence in Technology Awards

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Knoodle, the leading provider for enterprise social learning solutions, announced that it has been awarded two coveted Brandon Hall awards for product excellence.  Knoodle was honored with Gold in the Content Authoring and/or Content Management Technology category, and also Bronze in the Sales Training Software Platform category.

"We are thrilled to be recognized by the industry experts at The Brandon Hall Group with these two awards, and to be only one of four companies to win in more than one category," said Michael Rose, General Manager, Knoodle.  "More importantly, these awards are a testament to how we make it incredibly easy for companies to quickly get their content 'up and running' and distributed in a variety of ways."

Knoodle helps businesses extend the value of content already at hand to meet a wide range of goals - from corporate communications and product demos, to online training and certification programs, to interactive social learning communities.  Instead of requiring proprietary or complex authoring and publishing tools, Knoodle makes it easy to combine slides, video, audio and images into engaging online presentations that can be quickly shared throughout the organization and with the external ecosystem of customers and partners.  Businesses also benefit with Knoodle's testing capabilities and real-time analytics to help track engagement, learning retention, and training effectiveness.  Organizations all over the world use Knoodle, including Black and Decker, The Buffalo Bills, University of California at San Diego, and Easter Seals.

"2011 provided us with a unique viewpoint of how organizations are driving business results and performance improvement through technology. This was the year in which technology providers and their clients have been able to transform the power of mobile, social, talent, learning, sales and marketing technologies, with proven, validated results," said Mike Cooke, CEO of Brandon Hall Group.  "Most impressive to our judges was an underlying theme around collaborative relationships, a deep understanding of client needs and how technology can be leveraged to create opportunities and operating efficiencies for organizations of all sizes.  I am proud to announce these first-rate solution providers as award winners in the most competitive year yet."
