Who needs the Enterprise Edition?

As an Enterprise RTO and Training Provider your primary concern is managing the skills and competencies of your employees. Undoubtedly you will want to provide training in a time-efficient manner to minimise down-time while ensuring that you have a highly skilled and competent workforce. Secondary to that you will generally have to also consider flexibility and integration with existing business systems, such as HR Management, Billing, Document Management, Customer Relationship Management and most importantly corporate network. In some cases it's likely that your courses will also be available to the general public, a professional membership group or to your partners and contractors.

BluegemEXPLORE® TMS Enterprise Edition has all the features of the standard fee-for-service solution and answers your need as an Enterprise RTO. Years of experience in this sector has helped us to identify these needs through focus groups, design and development, integration partnerships and accreditations.
