Fujitsu Consulting Teams with Plateau and KnowledgePool to Drive Content Management and e-Learning
Edison, NJ, Arlington, VA, Dallas, TX, September 16, 2002 - Fujitsu Consulting, a leading provider of technology and management consulting, announced today that it is teaming with Plateau, a world-class vendor of learning management systems, and KnowledgePool Americas, the preferred provider of talent development and management solutions for global 2000 companies, to offer high quality, on-time learning and knowledge services for industries with a high degree of government oversight, including the medical, pharmaceutical and nuclear energy sectors.
The three companies said they will market a turnkey solution that allows organizations in these industries to develop and comprehensively manage enterprise learning initiatives on a unified platform, reducing IT and training costs and aligning learning with business objectives and regulatory compliance requirements. The companies announced their collaboration at the Documentum Momentum Conference in Orlando, last week.
We have seen increasing demand for industry-specific offerings, such as our HIPAA Head Start Program, said Ellen Reilly, Vice President, Content Services, Fujitsu Consulting. The scalability and integration of the Plateau and KnowledgePool toolsets allow us to quickly and easily get our clients up to speed on all compliance requirements.
Plateau 4 Learning Management System (LMS) is a core platform for the complete management of a company's learning and knowledge transfer activities, and has unique features to help organizations comply with HIPAA, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), 21 CFR Part 11 and 50 A guidelines. KnowledgePool's Talent Management System and its extensive experience in Web-based training and mentoring for technical and soft skill development extends Plateau 4 LMS to support in-depth talent management for senior Human Resource executives, live 24x7 mentoring and skill-based content management within an organization. Fujitsu Consulting acts as systems integrator for the implementation of the Plateau and KnowledgePool offerings.
Fujitsu Consulting's broad experience in the integration of leading content and document management products from vendors such as PeopleSoft, Siebel, SAP, Oracle, and Documentum made them the ideal choice as we sought a top-tier integration partner, said Brad Cooper, Plateau's senior vice president of product strategies.
By using the Plateau 4 LMS in conjunction with KnowledgePool's talent management solution, organizations can create, deliver and reuse mission-critical content based on individual student needs and corporate goals, and track the success of each learning initiative with bulletproof audit trails.

Fujitsu Consulting's collaboration with Plateau and KnowledgePool on content management for these regulated industries reflects its strategic commitment to provide clients with innovative solutions that improve their business performance.
