ePath Learning ASAP^SM is an easy to use, enterprise scalable, "next-generation" Learning Content Management System (LCMS). Going beyond simple collaborative authoring, it blends eLearning authoring, delivery and management in a web-based solution that provides the required infrastructure to instantly and collaboratively create a customer-branded online university or learning portal containing eLearning courses, tests, surveys, learner records and reporting.

Leading the industry back in 1999, ePath Learning ASAP was one of the first solutions to combine the power of a database management system, the global reach of the Internet and the ease of use of browser-based software to remove the technical, cost, and complexity barriers that inhibit organizations from utilizing the Internet as a training vehicle.

As the leading next-generation LCMS, ePath Learning ASAP enables rapid development of eLearning courses as well as comprehensive management and tracking of SCORM, AICC and non-compliant eLearning titles from 3rd party vendors.

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.
