Paris (FR), March 2010 - CrossKnowledge has announced that BSI, a UK standards, assessment and certification provider, has recently joined its customer base. The two companies will join forces to help BSI employees meet their career goals by offering them a flexible, high-quality distance and eLearning experience adapted to their personal situation and aspirations.
CrossKnowledge's UK office opened in July 2007 with the aim of providing the company's UK-based clients and partners a higher level of service and support through a dedicated physical presence in the UK. BSI has recognised both the value of close proximity with a training service provider and the ability of the CrossKnowledge UK team to respond to the specific needs of the UK market.
Founded in 1901, BSI currently employs 2,300 staff in more than 50 global offices, serving customers in over 140 countries. The only effective way that BSI can provide training to the majority of their employees is through distance learning.
With a substantial change programme to take BSI forward and align its activities more closely with customers and markets, BSI recognised the advantages of a structured management training programme that could be quickly rolled out across the Group's wide-reaching network of employees. CrossKnowledge was awarded a three-year contract by BSI, with a view to enhancing their existing provision of management training in both breadth and depth.
CrossKnowledge's full-service offering and their ability to provide training in fifteen languages was attractive in the context of BSI's global operations. In addition, CrossKnowledge's mission to provide the best possible service in all of its activities reflected BSI's own commitment to quality and will form a solid foundation for their ongoing relationship.
BSI understood that CrossKnowledge's proposition represented excellent value in terms of both quality and effectiveness, and it was with enthusiasm that they entered into a corporate contractual agreement with the training-solutions provider to build, deploy, and manage training solutions designed to meet BSI's specific applications.
