"Human capital is a vital key to success in the information based economy," says Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink Corporation. "CyberLink has introduced TCMS as a means to maximize human capital investments for organizations by providing effective ways to deliver various knowledge assets among its employees, partners, suppliers and customers."
CyberLink TCMS is a technological advancement that is ideal for taking static existing training materials, as well as dynamic rich-media presentations, and delivering them in a cost-efficient and tailored manor through an online learning environment. TCMS enables any organization to take training materials and publish them to a centralized content repository, where they can be easily managed through TCMS's customizable XML-based interface. These training materials can then be delivered to the learner via the Web and the results can be measured through TCMS's dynamic survey mechanism. TCMS allows today's corporations to effectively build up and sustain competitiveness by offering their staff, business partners, and customers the flexibility and efficiency of online learning via an integrated Web-based e-Training solution.
Set-up
and Publish Training Materials with Ease
In an effort to provide maximum benefits for all those involved in the online
learning process, CyberLink TCMS delivers numerous, powerful features and a
simplified process for Publishing, Managing, Delivering and Measuring the effectiveness
of training materials. TCMS offers a straightforward setup procedure and an
auto-detect system for recognizing server platforms, which allow any organization's
MIS department to have the system up within its existing infrastructure in no
time. Publishers can then proceed in adding any files that are viewable on the
Web, including videos and URLs, and publishing them to the TCMS content repository,
where they can be easily managed, organized, and viewed. TCMS also offers the
added benefit of being fully compatible with CyberLink StreamAuthor, the company's
innovative software solution that allows organizations to create and publish
interactive rich-media presentations. Additionally, any file published with
TCMS can be given password protection so that it is only viewable by those who
have been granted access.
Flexible
Management: Well Suited to Global Organizations
Managing large volumes of training materials can be a challenging task for any
organization, so CyberLink equipped TCMS with various functions to make the
process as straightforward as possible. CyberLink TCMS comes with such useful
features as an on-demand content library so that files can be easily located,
a customizable user interface, and flexible language options for global operations
With CyberLink TCMS, organizations will not only have an effective system for
managing their training materials, but also one that can reduce the Total Cost
of Ownership (TCO). This is due to TCMS's ability to work under various operating
systems and server platforms (such as MS Windows, Oracle, Linux, etc.), allowing
an organization to deploy the system within their existing infrastructure.
Smooth
Delivery and Administration
In order for any online learning program to be completed and delivered in a
smooth process, various levels of access and control are necessary. Therefore,
CyberLink created TCMS with four different levels: Learner, Publisher, Mentor,
and Administrator. Learners can view files both online or offline (by downloading
materials as an .exe file or in its native format), browse categories, and easily
search for the files they require. Publishers have all the privileges of a Learner
with the added benefit of being able to publish files, create folders, adjust/delete
files, and create surveys. The Mentor role was designed for supervisors or managers
who need to oversee the entire process. They have the ability to make news announcements,
view private items, and view activity logs. The Administrator level is reserved
for MIS or IT staff that are in charge of setting up TCMS and configuring it
for the organization.
Trackable
and Measurable Results
The ability to track and measure results of any training program is of utmost
importance to any organization, so that they can ascertain the effectiveness
of the training program and analyze the return on investment. Therefore, CyberLink
TCMS offers an effective means for those implementing training programs to easily
develop surveys, which can be attached to published training materials, and
returned to a centralized location for automatic processing of results. The
results can be securely viewed by the Publisher when evaluating the effectiveness
of the materials for the Learner(s) and measure their return on investment.
