Fresenius Medical Care is the world's largest integrated provider of products and services for individuals undergoing dialysis because of chronic kidney failure. In 2011, the company had 79,159 employees in 2,898 clinics and forty production sites serving 233,156 patients and providing 34.4 million dialysis treatments worldwide.

"After a very intensive selection process, we chose NetDimensions because we believe they are the right partner to support our needs internationally," said Gerard Remkes, Director for Integrated Learning Solutions at Fresenius Medical Care.

Fresenius Medical Care needed a learning-management system that can be installed on the premises, has strong compliance capabilities, supports multiple languages, is flexible and transparent in terms of customizations, and is backed by a very responsive technical-support team.

"Most importantly, we needed a solution that can meet the regulatory compliance requirements that will enable our company to comply with 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11 regulations. The NetDimensions Learning software passed the validation with us successfully," explained Remkes.

NetDimensions is one of the vendors in the industry whose learning-management system has been validated to meet the compliance requirements for the FDA 21 CFR Part 11, 211, and 820, as well as EU GMP (including Annex 11) regulations.

"We are very excited to work with a global leader such as Fresenius Medical Care," noted Liam Butler, General Manager for EMEA at NetDimensions.

"We will be joining forces with Fresenius Medical Care to roll out NetDimensions Learning as part of our NetDimensions Talent Suite, while at the same time ensuring that our solution is able to serve the various needs and requirements of the Fresenius Medical Care employees around the world," added Butler.
