Delivering training for employees, clients and business partners
Xyleme’s corporate training clients are those organizations that need to deliver training for their revenue- generating assets such as products, business processes, research practices and other critical intellectual property. They span multiple and often complex industries such as information technology, energy, pharmaceutical and telecommunications. These organizations deliver training materials that allow their worldwide user base to optimally leverage their assets, and where necessary, provide certifications.
The need to move to multi-modal training
Corporations use Xyleme to quickly and efficiently leverage large volumes of legacy content, mostly print, to develop and output a wide range of blended training materials from a single source of content. These clients, often facing continuous pressure to do more with less, need to quickly leverage their classroom materials for online delivery, including courses and performance support, without incurring additional cost or resources to create these new materials.
The ability to create new products leveraging existing content also allows these companies to expand their markets and better serve their client base. For example, self-paced eLearning courses provide a further user reach than user manuals while highly specialized and customized training materials generate additional revenue on top of their current product offerings.

With Xyleme products and solutions, corporate training organizations are:
- Lowering costs and improving turnaround time for course development and maintenance
- Leveraging existing resources to create a broader range of blended training materials

These companies use Xyleme to develop content for their textbooks, classroom materials, and online eLearning products quickly, easily, and in a way that enables extensive re-use or adaptation of existing materials.
