Mountain View, Calif., April 1, 2010 — SumTotal® Systems, Inc., a market leader and a global provider of talent development solutions, today announced that inVentiv Health, a leading provider of commercialization services to the global pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, has chosen SumTotal Systems’ TotalLMS™ learning management system to improve the company’s training and compliance. SumTotal helps companies like inVentiv gain a competitive edge by shortening training time, increasing workforce proficiency and effectiveness, and reducing the risk of business disruptions due to non-compliance and turnover at critical positions.
“When choosing a learning management system, we wanted a reliable partner that met our functional requirements for auditing and training purposes, but also one that had a proven track record and in-depth knowledge of the types of business challenges we face on a daily basis,” said Peter Marchesini, Chief Learning Officer at inVentiv Health. “SumTotal exceeded our criteria, and we are excited to use their solution to more effectively and efficiently serve our clients.”
As a leader in outsourced commercialization services for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, such as sales, marketing and clinical services, inVentiv needs the ability to remotely train employees.
