SYS News SYS Technologies' Client Recognized for E-Learning Initiatives

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SYS Technologies, (AMEX:SYS), a leading provider of information connectivity solutions that enable real-time, complex decision-making, congratulates Kenneth Harper, National Training Manager for Homecomings Financial, a subsidiary of General Motors Acceptance Corporation, for receiving Chief Learning Officer magazine’s Division I Silver Award in the “Leading Business Change” category for organizations with fewer than 10,000 people.

“For the past two years, SYS Technologies has been involved in the analysis, design, development and programming of our Learning Portal,” stated Harper. “Launched in October 2005, it offers over 30 comprehensive e-learning courses in compliance, ethics, business, products, and technology to account executives, underwriters, managers and newly hired associates -- and is a contributing factor in sustaining the company’s rapid hiring and revenue growth.”

Jeff Giglio, senior vice president of SYS Technologies’ Web Technologies, stated, “The Learning Portal was built to help develop the careers of Homecomings associates, and it is wonderful to know Homecomings’ well-trained associates are responsible for adding to the Residential Finance Group’s bottom line. In addition to SYS Technologies’ Web Technologies collaboration with Homecomings on the Learning Portal, we have also worked on the customization of Homecomings’ Learning Management System and the recent release of client-facing digital product marketing “Weblets” for nationalizing business processes and increasing the consistency and efficiency of business driven training initiatives. We are proud to have a continuing and productive relationship with Homecomings in the development of its comprehensive learning center.”

“Our goal in conferring these annual “Learning in Practice” awards is to recognize leaders who are advancing the industry and clearly demonstrating the link between learning and business performance,” said Norm Kamikow, MediaTec Publishing Inc. president and editor in chief of Chief Learning Officer. “Honored on October 5 in Austin, TX, Harper is responsible for introducing learning and training initiatives at Homecomings. He was chosen among more than 200 nominations submitted for a number of awards from the magazine.”
