I began my career in tertiary education, and then gravitated towards social media communications, blogging and community building. Over the years I\u2019ve had the opportunity to work with many innovative products in the eLearning industry, but eFront always stood out with its flourishing online community (and reasons listed below!).<\/div>\n<p><a name=\"more\"><\/a><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0And here are some of the reasons I\u2019ve joined the eFront team:<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/div>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>\u2018Coz we don\u2019t believe busy people should spend their time learning how to use their platforms &#8211; eFront has an easy to use, intuitive user interface that will maximize the time spent learning new skills (not the platform!).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Symbol;\"><span style=\"font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u2018Coz we don\u2019t believe elearning needs to be a mystery, eFront is open in nature. <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">All eFront editions come with the source code.<\/em> That means you can fully customize eFront to suit your organization\u2019s unique needs, integrate it with other existing systems, customize its interface, and add new functionality through eFront&#8217;s modular architecture.

Getting clients reflects on a company\u2019s sales team whilst retaining clients is a sign of a well-run company where team members across different departments must collaborate to create a rewarding customer experience. eFront\u2018s success is largely due to the fact that eFront clients always have someone on hand if something goes wrong, and eFront\u2019s customer retention rate reflects that at around 95%.
