The Business Value of an Enterprise Learning License
An ELL can be a valuable part of your training strategy. It provides a cost effective way of training a large number of users, driving better efficiency throughout your organization. Research shows a close link between software training, employee skill level and project success. In fact, well-trained teams in certain disciplines have been found to be 10% more productive and were able to focus on higher value-added activities such as planning, refining processes, and improving infrastructure.

Better Quality: IBM Cognos course materials have won multiple awards, including the 2007 Society of Technical Communication (STC) Excellence Award. The materials are scenario-driven, problem-based and involve hands-on learning.
