Xyleme Unveils Xyleme LCMS 3.2

Boulder, CO (USA), July 2008 - Xyleme® Inc., a provider of 100% XML, SCORM-2004-certified learning content management systems, has announced the release of Xyleme LCMS 3.2. This is Xyleme's newest version of its single-source solution for learning content management: fully integrated, highly scalable, and truly collaborative.




Xyleme LCMS enables organizations to employ Reusability 2.0 techniques for leveraging content across any learning modality, thereby creating a customized and contextual learning experience that reaches learners at their moment of need. The new release includes dozens of customer-requested features and combines enhanced collaboration for course design and development, greater ease-of-use for SMEs to contribute expert learning content, and improved performance and security to meet the highest enterprise-grade requirements.

"The Xyleme LCMS 3.2 product release continues Xyleme's tradition of innovation and market leadership", commented Jeff Katzman, Xyleme's Vice President of Learning and CLO. "There is tremendous excitement in the marketplace about Xyleme's Reusability 2.0 initiatives. The public launch of our new Xyleme LCMS release builds on our commitment to deliver best-of-class single-source, on-demand, multi-channel learning solutions."


New Features and Capabilities

Online Design and Storyboard: Xyleme LCMS supports a new workflow that allows courses to be previewed at each phase of course design, reflecting up-to-date progress and enabling full collaboration during the course-development process. The storyboard output includes placeholders for media not yet developed with links to the respective production notes. Production requirements can be output as scripts for media developers and/or exported to Excel for project management.

Simplified SME Knowledge Capture: With the new features in Xyleme Forms, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) can be assigned tasks that embed any system template, substantially reducing the learning curve for new content contributors. Xyleme Forms utilizes the same library of templates as the full Studio development environment, eliminating the need for separate tools and templates. The new release also allows output previews in multiple formats, enabling real-time review in any context.

Improved Performance and Security: Xyleme is committed to unparallel product scalability to allow enterprise-wide deployments and real-time content delivery across any channel. The new release of Xyleme LCMS includes an enhanced load-balancing algorithm for multiple CPU configurations, a new single-sign-and-authentication mechanism for integration with third-party systems, and "single-click publishing" of learning content to any LMS with the support for the PENS (Package Exchange Notification Services) specification.
