Emerald Software Enhances Workforce Management Solution Through Strategic Alliance With ExecuTrain

Emerald Software Group, LLC (Emerald Software) announced today its strategic alliance with ExecuTrain, LLC (ExecuTrain) whereby Emerald Software will offer ExecuTrain's learning management technologies and services with Emerald Software's AllegroHR software solutions. ExecuTrain's technology and services offering includes a comprehensive catalog of over 40,000 business and technical skills course titles, delivered both online and in 150 classroom locations in 25 countries, as well as a learning management system that can be fully customized to fit individual employer's needs.

Emerald Software's AllegroHR Suite is a web-based workforce management suite that includes new employee onboarding and employee offboarding, employee materials requisitioning, and personnel action notices. The entire AllegroHR suite leverages Microsoft(r) .Net technology that provides functional efficiency for the workforce, and results in significant return on investment through business process improvement; the AllegroHR suite is enabled by true Business Process Management (BPM) technology.

In the partnership, Emerald Software will incorporate ExecuTrain's learning management system (LMS) into its new employee onboarding module in the AllegroHR product suite. AllegroHR Onboarding automates the new employee onboarding process, replacing paper forms with an automated process that eliminates errors and omissions for federal and state tax forms, and eliminates the costs associated with handling paper forms and entry of data. The onboarding process often also includes training and orientation functions that can be provided by ExecuTrain, either through web-based virtual classroom media, or through classroom settings.

"Emerald Software is proud to partner with ExecuTrain, a world-renowned leader in corporate learning management," stated Chuck Ros, President of Emerald Software. "Our combined solutions and services will enable our joint customers to implement a world class employee onboarding program that includes true acculturation capabilities that are global and stretch across click-and-mortar delivery models. Our customers will be able to build and maintain the most skilled workforce possible; no other vendor can offer the capabilities of an Emerald-ExecuTrain partnership."

"Our partnership will enhance the new employee acculturation process," stated Ross Stonecipher, President of ExecuTrain. "But the true value in our partnership will be that our customers will be able to build consistent foundations based on the ExecuTrain course library, allowing organizations to build upon their own cultures starting with the onboarding process as automated by Emerald Software."
