Through Xerceo Infuse, an instant-on, SaaS cloud-based collaborative learning system, customers will be able to instantly provision any Skillsoft course or course collection to any member of its staff. Xerceo customers will also benefit from Xerceo’s collective intelligence engine, which automates recommendations of Skillsoft content to every learner based on similar interests, skills and job titles of other learners like them.

In a recent Brandon Hall blog post, Bryan Chapman describes Xerceo’s offering: “This company built their “Social Learning Network” software from the ground up on the idea that learning is a social activity and that the role of an LMS is to launch, track and report; but is not the best metaphor for sharing learning.” commented Chapman. “Our role as a collaborative learning system is to improve upon the idea of a top down delivery and tracking of learner content through effective administration and recommendation of training to those that have the greatest need and interest in it.” According to Tim Seager, CEO of Xerceo, “Skillsoft is a great partner in all our efforts to easily deliver/ syndicate learning. From Skillsoft’s comprehensive course catalog and Books24X7. it’s easy for us to offer all of Skillsoft’s latest training to all our customers immediately, no downloading or waiting required.”
