WBT Systems extends Cloud-Safe Learning Solutions for iMIS clients with enhanced turn-key integration

April 8, 2016 - WBT Systems is pleased to announce the availability of an extension to the standard integration bridge between the #1 Association Learning Management System*,TopClass, and the iMIS Engagement Management System (EMS)™, developed by Advanced Solutions International (ASI).

WBT Systems' turnkey integration bridge now fully supports the new iMIS RESTful API for full compatibility with the cloud architecture of the latest versions of iMIS. This means that iMIS clients can continue to benefit from the power and flexibility of TopClass LMS as they upgrade to iMIS 20 providing secure, intuitive online learning solutions, that evolve with the needs of their organization.

The two-way, real-time integration allows associations to increase non-dues education and certification revenue by providing a seamless, engaging, and personalized learning experience that ensures learners keep coming back to take more training. By making it as easy as possible to navigate between the website and the LMS, the integration bridge allows Education and Marketing teams to tailor what learners see and do based on data available in iMIS. The robust and configurable integration also allows organizations to easily align TopClass LMS with their internal processes and information needs, and is flexible enough to allow any type of data to be synced between the two systems.

Commenting on the enhanced integration bridge, Paul Dooley, CEO of WBT Systems said, "This extension of our turnkey integration to iMIS reflects WBT's goal to develop flexible learning solutions that support the evolving needs of our association clients. Working together with ASI, we are committed to helping iMIS clients to implement secure, integrated, world-class technology solutions that contribute to the success of their education and certification programs"

"TopClass LMS is a natural fit with iMIS and together they deliver a sophisticated learning environment with the cloud-based simplicity, convenience, and security that associations demand," said Bob Alves, Chairman and CEO of Advanced Solutions International (ASI).

WBT Systems will be sponsoring and exhibiting at the NiUG Conference in Chicago, Illinois, April 11-13. NiUG International is the largest independent, not-for-profit, user group for the iMIS engagement management system. The NiUG Chicago 2016 conference will provide training courses and breakout sessions to enhance the skills of iMIS users.
