Cross Connectivity and Functionality

Blackboard’s solution can be utilized on a variety of devices, and this allows for its users to access it anywhere and at any time. With the growing usage of technology, firms must encourage its staff to enhance their skills and to harness more knowledge in order to drive promotional growth.

With more computational power entering the enterprise realm, organizations are encouraging its employees to work at their own leisure on their own devices. However, this has created a sense of insecurity, and the IT at firms must now monitor hundreds of devices that are registered on their networks. Blackboard’s LMS not only allows for its users cybersecurity but also delivers protection of the information that is being passed through its many data silos.

Besides, being accessible on-premise, Blackboard allows its users to store their learning material to the cloud. Organizations choosing to leverage Blackboard’s LMS have reported higher cost savings by high retention of its top employees, in turn, these individuals are assisting their companies to grow by using their added knowledge to be advantageous to achieving business goals.

Knowledge is power, and individuals and organizations that have a nature for attaining information reach great heights in their respective fields by proactively using their intelligence. Blackboard has a dedicated team of experts that are well versed in many industrial workflows, and in one instance, they were able to showcase their skills when three blood centers merged to form a single organization. The management of the newly formed firm quickly realized that the different methods and techniques that were previously deployed across its multiple work floors needed to be brought under a single operating platform. The challenge was to integrate more than 2,000 staff members located across four states, prior to implementing Blackboard LMS, the client had relied heavily on field training.

The inefficiency of the education program led to the client approaching Blackboard to formulate a solution that could help them surpass all their learning issues. The team from Blackboard came onboard, and initial testing of a streamlined version of the LMS was started, amazed by the brilliance of the platform, the client decided to introduce its entire program online via Blackboard Collaborate. It allowed for the technical training to be provided to individuals that are more adjusted to the modern digital world. The client was able to concentrate more on trainees rather than educators and allowed the employees to work at their own pace. Since the modules are available online, the individuals in training programs have continuous access to the data, and this enables them to repeat classes they may not have attended.

Since the client introduced its online training modules, it has seen a rise in cost savings particularly through reduced travel, and less revenue spent on additional training.
