"The Learning Management System has dramatically improved our ability to coordinate the County’s talent," noted county employees. "It is a powerful tool that has been able to eliminate waste and duplication, improve accuracy, reduce the cost of delivering training, and improve accessibility and compliance rates."

The county asserted that before TrainingPartner, obtaining accurate training records and compliance reports for employees was nearly impossible. Records for a single employee may have been spread across dozens of departments. "Having a cohesive system allows us to ensure adequate training and mitigate potential risks and liabilities to the organization. The Center for Government Excellence is maximizing the use of the Learning Management System in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness with dramatic results."

Those results include a reduction of response times from days to hours on some employee claims due to improved data access. The county projects that online training access provides a savings of 25,650 hours in avoided travel time and productivity loss — the equivalent of 12 full-time employees. Compliance for one mandated training course increased to nearly 100%, mitigating risk and liability for the county. "The LMS has provided Riverside County Department Heads with unprecedented online access to employee learning data and compliance reports for their departments."

"These are the kinds of results that have driven TrainingPartner development over the years," stated Justin Hearn, President of GeoMetrix Data Systems Inc. "I believe that we have succeeded in developing an LMS that is technically superior, delivers exceptional business value and can evolve to reflect any business or technical environment."
