Hoboken, NJ – ClearPoint, a global authority in interactive health education, won a coveted Brandon Hall Bronze Award for excellence in technology in the sales and marketing category. ClearPoint’s win was announced on January 25, 2012. The winners are listed at http://www.brandon-hall.com/.
ClearPoint took bronze for KnowledgePoint as the Best Advance in Sales Training Software Platform. A unique social-learning platform for life sciences companies, KnowledgePoint offers both formal and informal learning features. Among the features that set KnowledgePoint apart are SCORM compliance; one-click launch of learning assets; highly configurable feature set and interface, including the ability to privately brand; the ability to share documents through the asset management system; and user-generated content, profile information and status updates.
According to ClearPoint CEO Philip McCrea, “We developed KnowledgePoint in order to change the learning dynamic and keep pace with the sea change in how commercial teams in life sciences now need to learn in order to boost their sales performance. This award validates our team’s creative thinking, laser-sharp focus on clients’ needs, and superior execution.”
Architected to give life sciences organizations a high degree of flexibility, KnowledgePoint offers a built-in Learning Management System (LMS) or the portal can be integrated with an organization’s existing LMS. Replete with robust reporting and dashboard capabilities for training administrators as well as learners, KnowledgePoint makes tracking and analyzing learners’ progress simple and insightful.
KnowledgePoint’s measurable benefits as a training platform have included a 22% savings in training costs as part of new-hire training, 7% increase in proficiency over traditional web-based assessments, and significant speed in deployment with the portal going from conception to pilot to production in less than 30 days. Further, KnowledgePoint’s mobile capabilities also reduce representatives’ time off-territory in formal training settings, thereby enabling sales teams to spend more time in the field with customers and prospects.
Said Mike Cooke, CEO of Brandon Hall Group, “2011 provided us with a unique viewpoint of how organizations are driving business results and performance improvement through technology. This was the year in which technology providers and their clients have been able to transform the power of mobile, social, talent, learning, sales and marketing technologies, with proven, validated results. Most impressive to our judges was an underlying theme around collaborative relationships, a deep understanding of client needs and how technology can be leveraged to create opportunities and operating efficiencies for organizations of all sizes. I am proud to announce these first-rate solution providers as award winners in the most competitive year yet.”
A panel of veteran, independent senior judges evaluated the entries along with Brandon Hall Group’s industry expert analysts and leadership.
As Dave Phillips, ClearPoint’s Director of Technology explains, “Winning a Brandon Hall Award—an honor to which we’ve aspired since KnowledgePoint was still in the idea phase—in the same month that we have launched its mobile companion, is a technology team’s dream come true.” Phillips added, “We constantly strive to change, improve and, ultimately, innovate… and this industry recognition pushes us to develop more solutions that enhance the critical learning needs of our life sciences clients.”
