SLT-MOBITEL, the National ICT solutions Provider has deployed its cloud-based eLearning solution, akaza Learning Management System (LMS) for Central Finance’s Digital Learning Hub to empower staff through optimised training.

Sri Lanka’s No. 1 premier training platform and the ‘one-stop-shop’ for an organisation’s eLearning needs, inclusive of the platform, infrastructure, and support, akazaLMS is a local fully automated ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS) deployed as a self-care portal. Importantly it is equipped with ability to purchase online offering immediate mobilisation and hosted locally on Azure Stack cloud platforms. SLT-MOBITEL has developed the solution in partnership with I-Context, an innovative digital education technology specialist.

Central Finance PLC, among the nation’s largest finance and leasing companies, required advanced and innovative digital tools to build and provide customised eLearning content to enhance staff skills thus ensuring staff are empowered and motivated to deliver business goals.

With the mobilisation of SLT-MOBITEL akazaLMS, Central Finance is able to provide training to their staff located in multiple locations and offer immediate access to resources, while staff also receive the flexibility to learn at their own pace and view individual progress. Implementing akazaLMS assures consistency in training across the company as it is not location dependent, while management and staff have access to immediate results and feedback, elevating the company’s entire learning ecosystem.

In selecting the agile akazaLMS platform, the Central Finance Training and Development team are now able to optimize compliance training and certifications while tracking individual staff skill levels.

AkazaLMS has enabled Central Finance Digital Training Hub to obtain content development services through the akazaLMS Eduprep Services, set its own course catalogue and convert their proprietary training material into interactive online material, develop five courses in Sinhala, Tamil and English in rich multi-media digital content, offer online certification, generate reports and integrate to their HRM software for better optimization.

The platform is beneficial for training staff via distance learning thus reducing logistical costs and need for physical, on-site training especially relevant in current new norm situations.

By fully on boarding akazaLMS organisations can unleash an eLearning platform that offers rapid acquisition and deployment, lower ongoing operating costs and no utilization of international bandwidth as it is hosted via SLT Cloud Infrastructure. AkazaLMS is a single solution catering to multiple training needs that is flexible, scalable and on-demand including cost efficient, pay-as-you-go modules.

Commenting on the initiative Chief Enterprise & Wholesale Officer of SLT, Mr. Lakmal Jayasinghe said “Especially in today’s competitive environment where human capital is more important than ever, companies need to create a learning strategy that aligns to robust curricula, employing relevant and available learning methods and technology. Addressing this need, SLT-Mobitel AkazaLMS Cloud is an enterprise e-learning solution hosted in Sri Lanka on the top of a private cloud, providing corporate and institutional customers the ability to deliver their own learning material to their users with zero cost infrastructure. With greater convenience and without additional IT resources, customers have access to their own training needs via a simple web browser”.

Empowering corporates and educational institutes, SLT-Mobitel AkazaLMS is a comprehensive locally developed platform, containing a self-portal where the user develops their own e-learning and purchase it as a SaaS product. Especially during these challenging times, when classroom lectures are not possible and distance learning methods vital, the SLT-Mobitel AkazaLMS facilitates exams, assignments, quizzes, etc. tailor-made and customised for corporates and educational institutes targeting their own specific needs.

The administrator portal provides corporates the capability to create users of their enterprise, generating courses, uploading these courses, and assigning it to relevant learners. The learning portal of the platform supports employees’ learning at their convenience and on any device. Customers are also presented the option of branding their own e-learning portal according to the company’s identity.

Importantly, SLT-Mobitel AkazaLMS is implemented via the Azure stack platform, which provides a more robust infrastructure in addition to the enhanced security features that all customers seek. Through Azure Stack, SLT-Mobitel AkazaLMS’s infrastructure can support multiple tenants or customers while guaranteeing each tenant’s data is isolated and remains invisible to other tenants. Moreover, SLT-Mobitel AkazaLMS can cater to large organisations’ learning needs as through Azure Stack, services can be offered to multiple departments while maintaining isolation between each other.

Based on the platform’s reporting feature, an administrator can track the progress of users obtaining a snapshot of each employee’s learning skills and whether the training has enriched the employee and met the required goals. This complete digital platform also helps employees track their own performance at any given time.

In addition, the course content on the platform can be created and developed by the team. Based on organizational goals and needs, trilingual content can be curated and localised according to the organisation’s requirements. While course content is unlimited, packages are available based on various pricing levels and the number of users, to suit individual corporates and institutes.

Empowering learning for both professionals and students, SLT-Mobitel AkazaLMS is trusted by over 25,000 employees and corporates including leading state universities.
