PrimeLearning.com does just that," said George I. Purnell, Legato's vice president and chief learning officer.
"One of the most powerful features the PrimeLearning architecture has to offer is the ability for all Legato management to easily track their staff's learning progress on selected criteria and to adjust the level of expertise for each course, thus raising the bar on the quality of education they're receiving and ultimately on the quality of customer care they're delivering. Keeping in line with Legato's commitment to customer first."
