the latest knowledge and practices. They need to
be empowered to provide the best technical
advice on the capabilities of our tools to
customers deploying Mentor Graphics solutions
as follows:
• Around the clock: eFront training material is
available on-demand globally independently
of time zones
• Device independent: accessible from a PC,
tablet, or smartphone on the move
• Verifiably: users attendance is tracked
• Mixture of passive and active learning:
quizzes”

different characteristics and compared their
respective performances in aspects such as:

independent, SCORM compliant, API etc.

• Leaners’ UI ease-of-use
• Functionality available to trainers

• Interaction with the vendor’s team for support
during our evaluation”
“In the end, eFront rated best in several
categories including the support we received
from the Epignosis team during our evaluation
and the hosted plan (up to 500 users) which was
selected as best value.”
CHALLENGES
“Setting up the platform was very easy after
attending the Administrator training course.
Developing self-paced material took some
thought since this was a new training medium
for us.
Ability to test the training is understood is a key
benefit with eFront as we are making good use
of tests.
Reporting on user attendance was also a
challenge which eFront helped to overcome; a
few months after going in production we
identified the need for finely-grained customized
reports to monitor users attendance against
objectives and engaged with Epignosis for the
development of these.
One year after SOP, eFront is well embedded into
the business with both users and trainers.”
QUOTES
“eFront is very rich in features and regularly
updated, also we found the Epignosis support
team very easy to work with and very efficient in
answering our questions/requests.”
