Thomson Reuters Delivers Significant Enhancements to e-Learning Solutions
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New learning management system enhances functionality, user experience and ease-
of-use; integration of WeComply courses to provide enhanced North American and
Corporate content.
NEW YORK, August 28 2013 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced
further steps to deliver enhanced governance, risk and compliance solutions to
organizations globally. The delivery of a new Learning Management System (LMS),
Accelus Learning Manager and integration of WeComply, a leading provider of
compliance e-learning, into its offerings will bring increased scalability,
performance, capacity and language support to Thomson Reuters online educational
courses.
These enhancements build on a structured 18 months of execution by Thomson
Reuters Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) business to continue to provide
enhanced e-learning solutions to its customers. Last year the firm acquired UK-
based e-learning business, MHA, and Asia-based e-learning business, Knowledge
Platform, to build out the content and language capabilities of its eLearning
courses. Additionally, its eLearning offerings were expanded to include the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's (FINRA) Firm Element CE e-learning
courses; addition of competition, antitrust, anti corruption and anti-bribery
courses as part of a joint initiative with Clifford Chance; the delivery of
gamified, mobile and analytics-rich courses following a partnership with True
Office. Together with the 42 new courses and 59 refreshed courses Thomson
Reuters has developed in this period, these partnerships have added 117 courses
in an additional 21 languages to the portfolio.
Learning management systems are a critical component when deploying eLearning
courses, as they allow learners to access their courses and administrators to
assign courses, manage users and produce records of completion to prove
compliance. Accelus Learning Manager (ALM) is a new, flexible web-based learning
management system that enables firms to more effectively identify, deploy, track
and manage their training needs whilst delivering the right content at the right
time to mitigate the risk of compliance breaches.
The solution offers users greater language support with content in over 30
languages, as well as increased security, reporting formats and WebEx
capabilities. Additionally, OnePass access allows customers to log on to
multiple Thomson Reuters applications and websites with a single username
allowing seamless integration across multiple entry points. The solution also
offers a full audit trail to easily demonstrate compliance for businesses as
well as making it easier for customers to identify full training needs with a
more robust and intuitive interface. Accelus Learning Manager supports both
Thomson Reuters and third-party courses and can be used as an enterprise-wide
solution or to support individual projects or departments.
The integration of WeComply content to Thomson Reuters eLearning solutions has
expanded the range of business critical compliance courses available to users,
and includes: Code of Conduct, Preventing Discrimination and Harassment, Ethics
and Compliance Essentials, Global Anti-Corruption - FCPA, UK Bribery, Antitrust
Essentials, Preventing Workplace Violence, Medicare Compliance, HIPAA Privacy
and Security, Avoiding Insider Trading, FLSA - Fair Labor Standards Act, and
Responsible Social Media Use.
"Compliance training is an essential part of our clients' workflow, and the
delivery of cost-effective, streamlined e-learning that is auditable and
actionable, is core to their successful training programs and to managing
regulatory and conduct risk within their organizations," said Mark Schlageter,
managing director, Governance, Risk & Compliance, Thomson Reuters. "The launch
of the Accelus Learning Manager allows eLearning clients to more efficiently

burden and to ensure high course completion rates. Adding the e-learning
