'Marocains du Monde' Featuring Comartis
in Moroccan Television

Marocains du Monde, TELE 2M

'Marocains du Monde' is the name of a monthly 50-minute program on Moroccan TV channel 2M that portraits Moroccan-born entrepreneurs who have achieved success overseas. In June Comartis had the pleasure of welcoming a television team for the shooting of a sequence about the company and about CEO Omar Lahyani.

In the 10-minutes feature of the 'Marocains du Monde' episode of 27th June, Omar Lahyani states his ambition to promote the exchange between Switzerland and Morocco. Under the label 'Swiss Quality Software Made in Morocco' innovative and prize-winning solutions in the field of e-Business and e-Learning have been created in close collaboration between Comartis Baar and Comartis Casablanca.

The module e-Testing of the i-qbox Human Performance Suite is an excellent example of successful off-shore software development by Comartis, one of the most innovative Swiss software companies. In 2005 IDEE SUISSE, the Swiss association for idea and innovation management, recognized the work of Comartis by honouring Omar Lahyani with the award for 'Innovative Entrepreneur 05'.

Epise Introduces the New i-qbox Module
360 Degree Feedback

Back in Spring 2007 Epise, an international training and personnel development consulting firm, chose the i-qbox Human Performance Suite for the ongoing management of its thousands of questions for tests and surveys.

i-qbox 360 Degree Feedback

Besides the modules e-Testing and e-Survey, Epise has also been making use of Learning Quality Management (LQMS) and Competence Management.

For a major project in Mexico, Epise now has a powerful tool in hand with the new 360 Degree Feedback module. Although 360 Degree Feedback is applicable independently of other i-qbox modules, it is an ideal extension to LQMS and Competence Management, since the feedback of supervisors, peers and subordinates may then be compared to the skills and competences of the respective employees.

From the i-qbox, reports can easily be exported to Excel, allowing the user to create and edit customized group reports.

Epise places very high standards on its education programs, and continuously evaluates all courses, not just by the number of graduates and the feedback in satisfaction surveys, but also by the degree of congruence between the expected results and the actual performance.

The launch of 360 Degree Feedback via Epise has already triggered a strong demand for the module among established institutions and larger companies so that new projects are in planning already.

i-qbox Smart Feature of the Day
   

Automated Applications Save Time and Effort

Automation reduces working steps and saves valuable time. For this purpose, the i-qbox Human Performance Suite has been enhanced with the new Workflow Engine feature. In the Workflow Engine customized processes can be automated with the help of scripts and the new Workflow learning objects .

i-qbox Workflow Automation

The script of the Workflow Engine defines which actions run automatically and which parameters are available to the administrator to further personalize the processing. These parameters can easily be set in the Workflow learning object.

Raiffeisen Bank applies the automated workflow to simplify the processing of e-Surveys: At a predefined point in time, the Workflow Engine automatically summarizes the results of a survey in a report. Subsequently, the report is e-mailed to a defined group of users.

The handling of automation processes in the i-qbox is very uncomplicated. Therefore, the responsible persons can concentrate on other tasks, knowing that they will receive the required reports and notifications at the right time.

Comartis way - the automated way!
