For all aerospace and defense companies, a comprehensive digital transformation strategy is essential to meet the challenges they face. Digital transformation can build resilience and unleash growth in aerospace and defense. Companies that embrace digital at the core of their business achieve up to four times improvement on their digital investments.

Some of the major companies like Boeing in St. Louis, US in the early 2000’s and more recently Boeing Education division in the UK, started using eXact LCMS solutions as well as did Thales in the Netherlands and in its Crawley facilities in the UK, both have experienced our solution in addition to the Australian Defence Government and EMSA, the European Maritime Safety Agency which adopted eXact solution to improve the training efficiency while reducing associated costs.

While Automotive tends to be considered obsolete, there are great opportunities and major challenges the companies are facing like:

• The skills shortage identified as an issue the industry needs to tackle
• Keeping up with technology can be expensive and time consuming but continuing to invest in tools and training is vital to the longevity of the business

Two inspiring references like Scania AB and Volkswagen that, as global organizations, used eXact learning LCMS and authoring tools to meet their needs of efficient multi-language training programs for their employees, professionals, sales and service organizations.

The pandemic has forever changed, like for all other industry sectors, the way financial services institutions do business.
C-level managers recognize the need to shift investment to digital opportunities and have an aggressive strategy to achieve first-mover or fast-follower status.

eXact learning solutions has experienced significant examples of large banking groups like Banca Intesa, HSBC and Bankia (formerly Caja Madrid) where the digitalization or, in a specific case, a “zero paper project” was the major challenge more than ten years ago. The bank adopted eXact LCMS solution to achieve their goals of supporting the organization’s cultural change with a tangible improvement and great savings in training costs.

The management consulting industry is undergoing a transitionary phase. Although it has witnessed encouraging growth figures recently, consulting firms would need to navigate some impending challenges to continue the upward trajectory.

They can provide tangible value addition in the opportunity areas of automation and new regulatory changes. These have been the main drivers that led two of the ‘Big Four’ consulting groups to adopt and use eXact LCMS solution.
Education Digital transformation has been emerging as one of the top priorities of educational institutes, particularly, not only in higher education institutions but also in K-12. Similar to business institutions, it is an essential process for achieving a competitive edge in the industry.

eXact learning solutions has gained experience in the Education space from the very beginning starting almost 20 years ago with several Universities Consortia in Italy (Cineca and Marconi Universities), Europe with Digital University in Holland and FHL Lubeck in Germany and more recently with Tribal Education in the UK and CNED in France , US (with Capella University and Florida State University), Middle East with Taif and PSAU Universities in Saudi Arabia, Al-Ahliyya Amman University in Jordan and Alef Education in K-12 in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., and finally in the Far East and APAC with Universitas 21 Global in Singapore and a few Universities in Australia.

The pharmaceutical industry has faced many challenges and changes lately.
Among the top predictions for the pharmaceutical industry in the last couple of years, the digital transformation of the industry continues to be key, year over year, helping them gather data and insights to execute business strategies.
Merck utilises the eXact knowledge-transfer solution across their global learning organisation.

The company recently expanded usage to their Policy Organisation as the single source of information for all Merck Policies. Another reference is Health Education England, loyal customer for over 16 years, very early adopter of eXact LCMS and authoring tools since 2005, when the Radiology-Integrated Training Initiative part of NHS, selected eXact LCMS platform as their Learning Content Management solution, resulting in a significant reduction in content production costs.

Technology-driven disruption is taking place at a pace and scale not witnessed before in history. Waves of technology, such as the internet of things, big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, are reshaping our personal and professional lives in profound ways.

A new world is emerging in which many of the current job classes will disappear, while new ones, requiring entirely different sets of skills, are emerging.

Public administrators are unprepared for the challenges they must face in order to cope with this exponential change.
An example to be followed is: TRIO, a web-based learning system realized by Tuscany Region, Italy. The platform offers free and accessible learning objects and services to citizens, public administrations and private organizations, on multiple and/or specialized topics.

Two references in this industry:

Intuition Publishing, leading knowledge management solutions company, with locations across the globe.

• “Intuition’s Advisory Services team regularly supports clients with knowledge strategy and implementation challenges, including large-scale content deployment and sustainability. Here, we had to address these challenges internally, within Intuition’s business.”
• “Since adopting the eXact learning solutions LCMS and its related tools, it takes our team just five hours to build 50 screens of ‘all-new content’ from storyboard.”
• “We found the process used by the eXact learning solutions LCMS to be unmatched in the market. Its flexibility means that we can build what we want. Also the LCMS functionality meets all of our data management needs.”

Carson-Dellosa Publishing, the leading supplementary educational solutions provider for both teachers and parents in the United States, has chosen eXact learning solutions’ learning content management system (LCMS) to be the foundation of its digital content infrastructure, providing digital asset management and educational content authoring and deployment.

• “We selected eXact learning solutions because it was the best at doing what very, very few enterprise LCMS packages can do,” said Griffin. “It’s flexible, enterprise-scalable and able to be integrated with other systems via powerful application programming interfaces (API). It supports content reuse and is customizable without creating costly system upgrade dependencies.

Two examples of companies that adopted eXact learning LCMS solutions are:

• Pandora a global jewelry firm, widespread in the world, that has discovered the value of using e-learning to ensure that its sales teams, around the world, sell the right products to the right people.
• The second customer is IKEA Global, the multinational conglomerate that designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture, kitchen appliances and home accessories, among other goods and home services. The main goals of the project were to create a centralized repository of content related to the Performance Support and ILT and the adoption of the powerful translation/localization engine offered by eXact LCMS.

As for all the other industry sectors, the process of digitization is moving at a much faster pace also in Telco. Companies can’t afford to rely on traditional and legacy systems for communication.

Digital transformation and skills improvements are strongly needed.
eXact learning solutions has gained significant experiences serving various Telco companies: Telecom Italy, Ericsson Sweden and Telefonica UK.
