SumTotal Webinar Series Focuses on the Power of Pervasive and Mobile Learning

Manufacturers will ship nearly 2.2 billion mobile devices this year, according to recent estimates from Gartner, Inc., and Cisco projects that the number of mobile-connected devices will exceed the number of people on the planet by the end of the year. Despite the explosive growth of mobile usage, 63% of human resource (HR) executives surveyed said their organization is "weak" in providing mobile and social learning, based on Bersin by Deloitte’s “Global Human Capital Trends 2014” report.

“Despite the many advantages of providing employees with 'anytime, anywhere' access to information, many organizations’ approach to mobile technologies remains limited to offering email access. These organizations are missing a major opportunity to increase their competitive advantage,” said Bill Docherty, vice president of product management at SumTotal® Systems, LLC, the largest independent provider of integrated HR solutions. “By incorporating a mobile learning strategy, organizations can capitalize on how their people are already using their mobile devices and better serve their employees’ needs – especially those who don’t have access to a workstation or travel for work.”

SumTotal will host four webinars in April to demonstrate how organizations can capitalize on these trends and transform their workforce by offering pervasive access to training and development and making learning core to their business success.
