Like many organisations wishing to get into e-learning, EMCOR faced some practical issues - not least of which was the technology platform to be used for employees to access courses.

A USA-based Fortune 500 company with over 26,000 employees and $4 billion in annual sales, EMCOR Group is a global leader in the installation and maintenance of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and communications systems. In 2003, Fortune magazine cited EMCOR as one of America's most admired companies.

EMCOR wanted to deploy an intranet for e-learning - but it wanted one which automated enrolment, reducing administration to almost zero.

Such 'education portal' solutions are notoriously costly and time-consuming to implement - and often need to be custom-built.

Fortunately, Transition has a ready-made solution, in the form of Web Commerce for E-learning - a fast-to-deploy e-learning portal. Transition worked with its partner company, Rockteam (in Philadelphia, USA) to customise and implement the e-learning intranet - based on the proven Web Commerce for E-learning engine, which automates registration onto courses, and then tracks users as they progress through courses – essential for managing the course materials licensing requirements from disparate third-parties.

Using Web Commerce for E-learning has led to the smooth introduction of e-learning into EMCOR - and the product now provides the standard delivery means for many forms of e-learning within this leading organisation.
