Vimago: A New Cloud-based Product Range
London (UK), February 2013 - A new community-enabled, real-time collaborative platform for accelerating business readiness was launched by Assima at Learning Technologies. Vimago is a cloud-based platform providing solutions to some of the critical challenges in the development, roll-out, and ongoing support of enterprise applications.
Vimago brings together Assima's collection of Content Management; eLearning and Simulation Authoring; innovative Cloning and In-Application Support technology onto a single inclusive and accessible platform.
Vimago comprises of three primary modules: Vimago Labs, Vimago Campus, and Vimago Tutor. Each module is designed to work in conjunction with the others to provide unparalleled collaborative content creation and management, real-time rapid eLearning, augmented reality, and advanced systems cloning.
Vimago Labs' unique cloning technology allows companies to train enterprise application users in a highly realistic, replicated training environment that enables the system to be translated for global language requirements; it also allows for data manipulation to comply with information privacy regulations. Furthermore, content created with Vimago Cloning Lab is much easier to maintain and is extremely cost effective throughout the lifespan of an enterprise application, with Assima's technology typically delivering fifty percent savings in year one. Over a five-year period, these savings increase to ninety percent.
The Vimago Campus is a community-enabled content-management system that is tailored to deal with change projects and learning needs. Vimago Campus manages users, roles, authentication, and permissions. It also provides change management, content, scoring, revision tracking, versioning, and publishing, as well as the ability to import, localise, index, and categorise.
Real-time collaboration can take place via built-in online messaging and chat. Also, a whiteboard allows for on-the-fly editing and revision, and workflows take content through a dedicated, tracked editing process. Everybody working on a project has visibility to what the other members are doing, providing an engaging, open, and collaborative environment.
Vimago Tutor enables learning and development professionals to create versatile, screenshot-based software simulations and training-support material, helping companies educate their staff with or without physical classrooms. Additionally, Vimago Tutor provides template-driven output; a library of reusable learning assets; automated creation of documentation; and standards-compliant course management.
Together, the Vimago modules combine to resolve challenges such as the high maintenance costs of training and large, widely dispersed user communities with different language requirements. Vimago provides powerful enterprise applications assurance and allows organisations to realise greater returns on their software-application investments at a fraction of the cost of alternative methods.
Vimago has been in Closed Beta Release since November 2012 and enters Open Beta in February 2013. Beta Programme Participants are entitled to six months of promotional pricing.
