Cloud-Based Training Wins Silver at Learning Awards

London, UK – 08 February 2012: Virtual technology solution CloudRooms won silver for Innovation in Learning Services at the Learning Awards ceremony last week.

The solution developed by training provider Redtray was distinguished for its smart use of technology and services in providing a way for organisations to effectively deliver live online learning.

The success of CloudRooms comes from its combination of virtual classroom technology, a unique learning management system and the expertise of trainers. This blend has created a new training solution for time and budget pressured global environments.

Vicky Jones, Head of Technology at Redtray, says “Our cloud-based training technology had already proved its value last year when it was recognised as one of the most innovative new learning software products at the E-learning Awards. We’re very proud it’s brought us a silver prize for innovation in learning services this year.”

This award comes in time with Redtray’s expansion to the Nordic countries where CloudRooms has gained a lot of interest from local businesses. Eva Fredborg, from Danish training provider explains that what attracted her to Redtray’s cloud-based solution is its truly innovative approach to training unseen as yet in her country.

Ms Jones adds, “Training live in the cloud breaks current training barriers such as time, location and travel which, in today’s money-tight environment, pose problems for many organisations. It provides employers with a training alternative which is attractive in difficult economic times.”

First adopters of CloudRooms already see the benefits of using this training technology. The IT consultancy giant CSC has saved up to 40% on its training costs and increased its people’s training effectiveness by three times in a period of just one year.
