SkillSoft's courses are aligned with the Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge, called PMBOK. This training, along with courses covering a wide variety of IT skills, was launched in February. "We view e-learning as a corporate imperative and value driver of our business," said Joerg Staff, director of human resources management for DPWN. "It is the most efficient way to offer high-quality, consistent training to employees throughout the world – a necessary factor for consistent business processes. Because SkillSoft courseware is available in multiple languages, our employees in Germany or France will get the same training as those in the US. And we can increase the amount of training made available while decreasing overall costs." By John Kennedy
