Bangalore , Aug. 8

Knowledge workers seeking fortification of skills in IT and ITeS have a new tool to aid their aspirations.

Liqwid Crystal, an online learning company that focused on innovative software solutions for online learning, today announced the launch of rRapidSuite aimed at enterprises.

Fully implemented and managed by Liqwid Krystal, rRapidSuite is modular based, with learning, assessment and certification as key components, the company co-founder and CEO, Mr Anand Adkoli, said.

He said rRapiSuite, which is offered at annual subscriptions per user or in an enterprise, reaches the customer through a B2B custom sales model, after a focused trial period for closely-knit workgroups of 10 or more. Covering 20,000 courses, 5,000 books and 200 tests, rRapidSuite was supported by sub-modules tailored to suit the requirements of companies and individuals to be trained.

Initially, it would be offered to enterprises while the retail segment would be tapped later this year.

The content was provided by nearly 80 per cent of the international e-publishing companies on the subject. Mr Adkoli said India was the main focus now while China, also facing huge demand for qualified software engineers, would be tapped next year.
