USA
September 16, 2003
E&T
has signed an agreement with Thomson Learning,
USA on September 16, 2003 at CMC's corporate
office, Delhi. S K Jhamb, vice president,
E&T and Keith Targett, director, Channels
of Thomson Learning, signed the agreement.
As per this agreement, E&T has become
the Thomson Learning channel partner to
distribute three of their products namely
NETg online courses, wave centres and
course technologies. This will help CMC
provide product based services and solutions
for eLearning in India.
Under
this agreement CMC can resell self-paced
training materials from NETg (Thomson
Learning Group Company). There are three
different options that CMC's customers
can opt for. First one is to purchase
a shrink-wrapped product containing CDs
of NETg. Second one is distribute the
courseware online in LAN environment and
third one would be to host the entire
content on the internet / company's intranet.
Armed with a vast NETg library will be
able to offer flexible, customer specific
solutions in the market place. Thomson
Learning is also making available a tool
called NLO+ that will allow CMC to customise
the existing online courses to meet customer's
specific training requirements.
CMC
will also be opening Thomson Wave Centres.
This would mean that Thomson Learning
will make available vendor certified instructional
materials (self-study kits in the form
of books and CDs). Advantage for CMC is
that it can offer different certification
tracks in its Wave Centres without actually
getting into separate agreement with different
vendors. Thomson Learning is also making
available a process of boot camp, which
assures the customer (student seeking
certification) success in the certification
examination. CMC will be the exclusive
partner that will be running Wave Centres
in the country.
Thomson
Learning has provided CMC with a printed
courseware customization tool called Course
technology, which allows the user to customise
course material according to the need.
This will make CMC courses more cost effective,
since only relevant reading material will
be given to the course participants.
