The client, a developer of interactive spoken English computer-based training (CBT) product, faced several significant obstacles due to the outdated nature of their product. CD-ROM-based delivery was an obsolete format and was no longer competitive against web-based eLearning solutions. Physical distribution and support costs were high and unsustainable. The legacy authoring system also required specialized programmers, who were increasingly difficult to find and retain, creating a skills shortage. Competitors offered superior web-based products, leading to a steady decline in sales.
Vidyatech executed a comprehensive modernization project to address these challenges:
Comprehensive Course analysis: Evaluated the existing CBT to identify inefficiencies and develop new features tailored to user needs.
Centralized eLearning platform: Designed a web portal that provided learner management, eLearning course delivery, learning plan management, product license management, and detailed reporting.
Interactive templates: Developed over 40 interactive models, simplifying the creation of engaging multimedia content.
Content migration: Seamlessly migrated thousands of pages from various legacy formats to a unified XML format, ensuring consistency and scalability.
Automated workflows: Streamlined the creation and publishing of interactive content, reducing the reliance on technical skills for updates.
The modernization effort produced tangible and lasting benefits for the client:
Simplified deployment: The web-based system eliminated the need for physical delivery, dramatically reducing costs and operational complexity.
Significant cost savings: Transition to web-based delivery cut deployment and support expenses drastically, contributing to higher profitability.
Improved user satisfaction: Enhanced interactivity and accessibility drove positive user experiences and increased adoption, thereby boosting sales.
Faster updates: Course modifications became quicker and easier, requiring minimal technical skills and taking minutes instead of days.
Revived business growth: The improved product regained market competitiveness in the eLearning space, ultimately leading to the client’s successful business sale to a major content publisher.
