ePath Learning ASAP+^SM is an easy to use, enterprise scalable, Integrated Learning Management Service (iLMS). It is a unique blend of our LCMS (Learning Content Management System) and LMS (Learning Management System) functionality, delivered as an ASP service and resulting in a solution that delivers the best of both technologies.

Organizations can now collaboratively author eLearning courses, tests and surveys, while they seamlessly deliver and manage all their learning content – be it on-line, classroom-based, synchronous, asynchronous or blended modes – via a single, browser based, easy to use, online service.

ePath Learning ASAP+ provides the required infrastructure to instantly create a customer-branded online university or learning portal for all your courses, tests, surveys, learner records and reporting.

As an on-demand service, ePath Learning ASAP+ removes the costly and complex implementation requirements inherent to legacy LMS deployments. There is no software to install, maintain, or upgrade and there are no servers to buy, operate or support.

As the leading iLMS, ePath Learning ASAP+ enables rapid development of eLearning courses as well as comprehensive management and tracking of all on-line and off-line training.

ePath Learning ASAP+ consists of three integrated components: 

You may have heard of the Application Service Provider model, or ASP.  This state-of-the-art approach to software distribution is based on delivering software as an easy to use, immediately available service over the Web, rather than CD-ROMs through the mail or software downloads.  An ASP provides access to software applications running on its servers in a secure, continuously maintained environment.  This means you save on the cost of:

• Servers
• Bandwidth Charges
• Database Management Systems
• System Engineers
• System Security
• Fire Protection
• Automated Back-ups
• Technical Support

This means drastically reduced Total Cost of Ownership for you.

Additionally, as a service provider, an ASP is concerned about your satisfaction. You may not receive the same level of support from a traditional software vendor once they have made their sale.

The Technology

ePath Learning ASAP+ is based on industry standard, web-services technology that results in a solution that is "natively" designed and built for a web-based environment. Competing hosted solutions are often workarounds that require redundant investments in hardware servers. This adds significant costs that are passed on to you, the customer.

However, ePath Learning ASAP+ was designed from the start with a web-serves architecture. It is built with XML, XSLT, server-side JAVA and a web optimized Oracle database management system on the back end.  While you don't need to know how to use any of this technology, you can trust that your training is riding on "best of breed" technology that provides industry leading response times, interoperability with your current systems and optimized utilization of hardware servers. While our competitors are passing on their costs to you, ePath Learning is passing along its savings.

ePath Learning ASAP provides you access to the first integrated eLearning tool set designed from the start to be delivered as a software service. In fact, we were one of ten companies, and the only eLearning company, selected by Oracle Corp has a charter member of its iHost initiative for ASPs.

ePath Learning ASAP+ provides the tools to support each of the stakeholders in a learning-centric organization:

• Subject Matter Experts/Developers (we call them Builders)

• Administrators & Managers

• Learners

	Builders - Your Subject Matter Experts.  They possess the “best of breed” corporate knowledge that is the lifeblood of your enterprise.  They may be located anywhere.  You need that knowledge captured, organized and maintained for redistribution to your learners.
	Managers  – They have the responsibility to “get it done right”.  Today that means attracting, retaining, and growing the most valuable assets of the enterprise - its network of people. They need modern tools for a modern world.
	Learners – Your employees, customers and business partners.  The individuals that are spread out across the globe, yet must contribute toward a common goal – the success of your enterprise.  They need the right message at the right time, and you need to know they got it.
