imc Learning, a full-service provider of enterprise learning solutions, is thrilled to present its latest technological innovations at Learning Technologies, Europe's preeminent workplace learning event.

The adoption of new technologies can take time to reach the level of maturity required by the world's leading companies. When a long-established vendor such as imc brings new platform developments to a top event like Learning Technologies, it sends a clear signal to the industry of future technological trends. imc is trusted by global brands, including Vodafone, PwC and the Mercedes-Benz Group, as well as high-profile UK institutions such as ACCA, RIBA, and the University of Bristol. The company's latest product enhancements represent an exciting highlight of this year's conference and exhibition.

imc Learning Suite, the state-of-the-art digital learning platform, now incorporates advanced features for smart analytics to provide L&D professionals with actionable insights. The platform bills itself as "the sweet spot between an LMS and LXP", offering the best of both to deliver user-friendly digital and blended learning through a perfect combination of powerful LMS capabilities and engaging LXP user experiences.

Faster and better decision-making on learning programmes leads to wider business benefits from investments in corporate training and development. The platform's new analytics capabilities not only track and improve learner progress, but also allow companies to maximise their workforce's potential, analyse skills gaps, and ensure the perfect alignment of people and projects.

The L&D industry is experiencing a surge in AI technology, and imc is leading the way with a high-quality enterprise offering. A new version of the rapid authoring tool imc Express integrates GPT3, empowering everyone across a learning organisation to create user-generated e-learning content. The tool comes with automatic course layouts based on proven learning methodologies, which guarantee optimal and engaging learning experiences while maximising productivity for L&D departments. Superior automated multilingual capabilities make imc Express an ideal choice for global companies looking to avoid costly and time-consuming translation processes.

Fosway Group, Europe’s #1 HR industry analyst, has published its latest analysis of the Digital Learning market. The content solutions from imc were able to secure an even better place than last year. The Saarbruecken-based company thus continues to expand its positioning in the Fosway 9-Grid™ for the fourth year in a row.

For the second time, imc's learning content is ranked in the Strategic Challenger category. According to Fosway Group, Strategic Challengers offer solutions that cover a broader range of services than most other providers included in the 9-Grid™. Strategic challengers are also solid and reliable partners in the digital learning field.

Falk Hegewald, Director Content at imc, is extremely pleased about the immense improvement:

"The significant jump in the ranking reflects our impressive development over the last few years and strengthens us in our mission: to inspire and engage our customers and together create innovative learning experiences for people worldwide. This applies to our customized projects with customers such as Jägermeister, Vodafone or Porsche as well as to new learning worlds from our own product portfolio such as "Cyber Crime Time".

“As a Strategic Challenger in the 2022 Fosway 9-Grid™️ for Digital Learning, imc has developed a track record for learning design, learning solutions and services that help organisations transform their learning approach,” said David Wilson, CEO, Fosway Group.  “The Meister Academy is a great example of how imc bridges creativity, brand and global blended learning.”

Fosway Group, Europe’s leading HR analyst, today published its latest study on learning systems. Once again, imc's Learning Management System is positioned as a Core Leader. The analysis reflects the steady growth and further development of the imc Learning Suite (ILS).

Core leaders are characterized by a very good track record in terms of business win rate, delivery to the customer and customer advocacy, according to Fosway Group.

David Wilson, Fosway Group CEO, commented, “imc continues to consolidate its position as a Core Leader in the 2022 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Learning Systems through product innovations including the development of a new authoring tool and headless LMS functionality. As its capability continues to grow so does its momentum in the market.”

Christian Wachter, CEO of imc, is pleased with the top ranking:

"Being recognized as a Core Leader for Learning Systems in the Fosway 9-Grid™ with our LMS is of course another incentive. The strategic enhancements in the areas of Learner Experience, User Generated Content and Learning Analytics will certainly help to improve the product's potential and continue on the path to becoming a Strategic Leader."
