Until recently, the creation of a Corporate University has been out of reach for the vast majority of companies due to the costs of establishing the environment. With the advent of affordable technologies such as Web 2.0, the creation of an interactive university that supports formal and informal learning for mid-market companies with 300 or more employees is now a reality. For those that are looking to create learning environment for their distributed organization, Interactyx Limited offers TOPYX Corporate University in a Box. The solution allows companies to realize cost saving and productivity benefits in a matter of months rather than years.
