METHUEN,
Mass. February 5, 2002 Genesys, the Methuen, Mass.-based provider of software and outsourcing services for learning management, human resource (HR) management, payroll, and benefits, announced today that Clerk of the Circuit Court of Hillsborough County, Florida, has selected the Web-based PeopleComeFirst Learning Management System (LMS) to manage learning, learning content, and competencies.
The office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Hillsborough
County is a progressive and technologically savvy organization," said Larry
Munini, president of Genesys. "It has a diverse range of
training needs, and, in recent years, has been moving key functions to
Web-based technology. The PeopleComeFirst LMS is a natural fit to manage
the office's employee education and development, since the system
accommodates all types of learning styles and content, as well as the
ability to manage an extensive variety of competencies. In addition,
the Web-based architecture of the PeopleComeFirst solution dovetails
nicely with the office's technical strategy."
"Positions with the Clerk of the Circuit Court are varied
and include deputy clerk, accounting, customer service, audit, and
official records just to name a few. So, we have a range of educational,
developmental, and mandated needs," said Dana Caranante, director of
employee services. "PeopleComeFirst, in one integrated system, will help
us manage training for this diverse employee base that will include
career development and certification, technical and functional knowledge,
and soft skills. We can use the system to develop individualized learning
paths and also for modeling and management of skills and competencies."
The PeopleComeFirst solution is available as an in-house
implementation or as a hosted ASP (application service provider) solution;
the Hillsborough County Clerk of the Circuit Court has chosen the ASP model.
The county's 800 users will access all PeopleComeFirst features
including administrationusing a standard browser. Role-based
security ensures that individuals will view only their own data,
whereas managers and administrators will be able to view information for
all relevant employees.
PeopleComeFirst's developmental-planning functionality i
s extremely important to the Clerk of the Circuit Court, which must fill a
far-reaching set of positions, within a number of different departments,
from a candidate pool that includes many people unfamiliar with the Clerk
of the Circuit Court and its functions. Being able to build an entire
curriculumincluding information about the office, particular
departments, and the job skills and knowledge required to carry out the
positionswill significantly reduce the amount of time it takes the
Clerk of the Circuit Court to bring new employees to full productivity.
Hillsborough County Clerk of the Circuit Court will also
make good use of PeopleComeFirst's ability to track regulatory training
and certification courses. With PeopleComeFirst, the Clerk of the Circuit
Court will automate the tracking and reporting of training. Even the
printing of certificates upon course completion will be automated.
Other anticipated uses of PeopleComeFirst include:
- Managing soft-skills training (e.g., business and communication skills,
leadership, teamwork)
- Competency modeling and management (to identify role-based competencies,
then create and prescribe development programs to close competency gaps)
- Managing training in desktop software (to accommodate an impending change
in desktop standards)
- Incorporating an existing catalog of courses, currently managed manually,
into the automated PeopleComeFirst solution
Since the Clerk's office, which currently carries out most
of its training off site, intends ultimately to provide the bulk of its
training internally, it will also rely on the system to manage and coordinate
an increasing amount of both e-based and classroom-based courses.
The office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court in
Hillsborough County, Florida, is committed to keeping and protecting
the public records and to serving the people of Hillsborough County in
compliance with the state constitution, state statutes,
administrative orders, county ordinances, and county resolutions.
