Epyc Solutions, part of Verjo BV, and Axians, VINCI Energies' brand for business-oriented ICT solutions, are joining forces to further develop Axele on-the-job: an innovative mobile application for the sustainable sharing of knowledge and information.
In our daily lives, almost everything is digital and we constantly draw on digital resources. Workplaces, however, often still struggle with outdated or generic content and long or bulky manuals. Moreover, the “war for talent” is leading to more staff turnover and more languages in the workplace, and it is becoming increasingly important that information is easily available everywhere. The complexity of industrial processes and devices is increasing, while employees and customers just expect everything to be digital and easily consultable – anytime, anywhere.
Axele on-the-job brings our digital world to the shop floor and into the field. The goal is to collect, share and store knowledge in an intuitive and attractive way. And that can be broad, from digital maintenance instructions, e-learning tracks or safety checks to complex manuals.
“Axele on-the-job goes beyond a classic learning management system,” says Roel Vermeersch, Business Unit Manager at Axians. “The strength of the tool lies in its simple, step-by-step structure, which makes it possible to transform complex stories and instructions into clear journeys and provide bite-sized info. The user scans a QR code or follows a link and can get started immediately and anywhere.”
The platform allows building pathways in an intuitive and interactive way. Questions and video dynamically guide the user through the path. Finally, the analysis capabilities provide insights that are not only important for follow-up, but can also help further optimize the pathways.
Building learning journeys in Axele on-the-job works easily and one can get started right away. Should creating the right content with impact be too much of a challenge for organizations, the expertise of Epyc Solutions provides the perfect combination. With years of experience in creating impactful learning pathways and digital learning solutions for industry, services, public sector and training organizations, among others, Epyc Solutions can help organizations develop advanced, didactically strong learning interventions. This is why the two organizations are joining forces to jointly develop and market Axele on-the-job. “With Axele on-the-job, we want to meet the need of employees to access the information they are looking for in a low-threshold way. ‘Just-in-time’ learning with Axele on-the-job ensures that learning becomes even more efficient and effective,” adds Danyel Jonker, CEO Epyc Solutions.
The increased room for investment that this co-ownership creates, the additional sales channels, and the skills to provide support for building training, give extra leverage to accelerate the solution’s international launch.
“At Axians as well, we combine our expertise in innovative software with a lot of experience within industry, installation and maintenance, smart products and healthcare,” said Roel Vermeersch. “Together with Verjo, Weeswegwijs & Epyc Solutions, we are therefore familiar with the industrial environment and its challenges. We think along with the organization to work with them to optimally deploy Axele on-the-job, fueled by Epyc Solutions, for impactful knowledge sharing.”
