Deploy 3rd-party Courseware Quickly and Cost-effectively

Migrate, Integrate and Optimize New Content for Rapid Delivery on the HealthStream Learning Center

Many HealthStream customers developed online learning strategies that use courseware from a variety of disparate sources. Before they can deliver the new content to learners, organizations must tackle a range of technical tasks. The migration, conversion, integration, storage and hosting of the new courseware onto their learning management platform can delay learning programs, drive up costs and pull staff away from your core business.

HealthStream offers self-service tools such as the SCORM Upload Tool (coming in Summer 2009) to assist customers who wish to integrate new content on their own. For those who prefer an end to end solution, HealthStream offers Courseware Management Services (CMS). CMS accelerates the migration, conversion and integration of new content to allow customers to quickly put content to work on the HLC, removing the burdens, costs and risks of new courseware migration, integration and optimization.

HealthStream CMS experts employ best practices to ensure courseware interoperability, using proven, standardized processes to maximize production, compress time lines and lower costs. HealthStream’s Courseware Management Services provides a worry-free solution for organizations needing to optimize and deploy new content to the HLC fast and effectively.
