NetDimensions' Latest EKP Release Takes Next Step Toward Compliance in Healthcare
HONG KONG, Dec. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- NetDimensions
(London Stock Exchange, AIM:NETD), a global provider of performance, knowledge
and Learning Management Systems (LMS), announced today the release of version
6.3 of the Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP), the company's award-winning
learning management system.
EKP 6.3 includes functionality that will help organizations in the
pharmaceutical industry ensure their compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration's Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, Part 11, more commonly
known as 21 CFR Part 11.
This latest EKP release also includes new features such as a user-
configurable EKP homepage, enhanced appraisal functionality, and support for
Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro.
"EKP 6.3 reflects the NetDimensions way of doing things," says Al Bejcek,
Senior Manager for Product Marketing at NetDimensions. "Its features are a
collaborative result of our Engineering team's product research and
development efforts, actual client requirements, and a conscious drive towards
integration with emerging technology products," he adds.
21 CFR Part 11 Compliance
EKP 6.3 signals NetDimensions' entry into the 21 CFR Part 11 compliance
domain.
"21 CFR Part 11 involves U.S. FDA requirements with regard to electronic
signatures and audit reports in the highly regulated healthcare,
pharmaceutical and medical device industries," explains Bejcek.
"We're enabling companies to use the powerful features of EKP to
streamline their compliance process so they can get 21 CFR Part 11
certification. Considering NetDimensions' strong focus in regulatory
compliance and certification, such as what we do for the aviation sector in
several countries, this was a logical 'next step' for us."
Learn, Assess, Personalize
NetDimensions EKP 6.3 release also adds a number of new features to the
company's flagship LMS, including:
-- Appraisal System Enhancements
NetDimensions worked with two clients
separately on their very different requirements for their performance
appraisal systems, and incorporated the best features of these
customization projects to come up with the new extensive and
user-friendly appraisal functionality in EKP 6.3.
-- Personalize Your Homepage
EKP administrators can now more easily
configure user and user-group homepages using drag-and-drop controls
with a library of widgets (News, Enrolled Learning Modules, Calendar,
etc.).
-- New Ways to Take a Course
Keeping an eye on emerging technologies in
the market, NetDimensions has integrated Adobe Connect Pro sessions
with EKP, enabling a client in the public sector to forward
session-related data back to EKP, and the recording and automatic
archiving of webinars.
-- Exam Module Updates
Enhancements to question and exam schedule
management in EKP give administrators and users more control and
information about exams. These updates also apply to NetDimensions
standalone exam delivery system, the Enterprise Assessment Platform
(EAP).
A Stronger Family of Products
In line with these recent product developments, NetDimensions redesigned
the company's product logos to capture the evolution of its suite of
performance, knowledge and learning management solutions: the EKP LMS, the
mobile EKP (mEKP) portable LMS, the EAP assessment engine, and the Enterprise
Content Platform (ECP) single-source content authoring and publishing tool.
"Work on the redesign of our logos has been going on for some time now. We
wanted to present fresh, new logos of our products that will reflect a 'suite'
packaging, which would clearly show that they belong to an integrated family
of products that support each other," says Robert Torio, NetDimensions
Marketing Manager.
The new EKP logo comes out with EKP 6.3, while the rest will be rolled out
by January 2011.
