Omniplex has provided a learning management system (LMS), rapid e-learning authoring tools and training in how to use these products to Aurum Holdings, a UK jeweller.

Aurum includes the Watches of Switzerland, Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths brands within its portfolio and says it is the UK's largest stockist of Rolex, Cartier, Breitling and TAG Heuer.

Earlier this year Aurum replaced its existing LMS and authoring tools with the Absorb LMS and Articulate e-learning authoring tools which were supplied by the e-learning solutions provider, Omniplex.

Vicky Ziccardi, Aurum’s group learning and development manager, said: “Towards the end of last year, we learnt about the capabilities of Absorb and Articulate and so were eager to use these to make our in-house learning and development activities even more efficient and effective.”

Following training by Omniplex, Aurum currently has five staff capable of producing e-learning content using Articulate. They have already produced more than a dozen product and sales orientated courses for the 1,500 members of Aurum’s retail team working in Watches of Switzerland, Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths stores.

Matthew Lloyd, Omniplex’s managing director said: “Aurum is one of a growing number of companies that are looking to achieve more from their learning and development activities and so they are investing in best of breed LMS and authoring solutions. We’re happy to support these organisations with training and advice so that they can maximise the benefits they derive from their investment.”
