There\u2019s a saying, \u201ca rolling stone gathers no moss\u201d.<\/p>\n

Well, we haven\u2019t put stones to the test, but we\u2019ve made sure that moss is the only thing left out of eFront last year!
\n<\/p>\n

Cue flashback<\/h2>\n

It’s been 3 years since we rethought, redesigned and rebuilt eFront from scratch. A product we called eFrontPro. With its new, modern design and advanced engineering, eFrontPro was aiming for the top. But, anything modern quickly becomes old<\/em>, so we continued to rethink, redesign and enhance the platform to match today\u2019s trends and requirements.<\/p>\n

Any man who must say “I am a pro” is no true pro<\/h2>\n

We made plenty of technical and operational advances last year. If I had to pick one to highlight? It’d be the simplest.\u00a0We dropped the \u201cPro\u201d and became\u00a0\u201ceFront\u201d, merging the traditional with the contemporary<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the same time, we permanently decommissioned the \u201cold\u201d eFront sites and resources. We moved our gaze away from the past and on to the future.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0A change you can see on our brand-new website!<\/p>\n

Handsome is that handsome does<\/h2>\n

2017 was all about UI: The most critical update was a complete revamp of eFront\u2019s User Interface, with User experience in mind.<\/p>\n

With a fresh new look came a more straightforward way to obtain and access courses. We updated our\u00a0Mobile<\/a><\/strong> support to take advantage of modern tools and devices. And we introduced new ways for you to create a custom look and feel for your LMS platform. We changed fonts and images to enhance eFront\u2019s readability and usability.<\/p>\n

Action expresses priorities<\/h2>\n

We made many enhancements in 2017. I’ll mention three of the most notable ones here. A\u00a0Custom reports engine<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>allows you to define, execute and schedule reports with the data and format of your choice.\u00a0Branch-level settings<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0allow you to configure each branch individually, and Course ratings\u00a0let end-users assess their training in a user-friendly way.<\/p>\n

What else is on TV?<\/h2>\n

If 2017 was a year of re-\u2018s: redesign, rethink, redo, recaptcha (OK, not that one), then 2018 will be the year of new: new capabilities (Full-text search, custom notifications, file sharing), new Integrations<\/a><\/strong> (Salesforce<\/strong><\/a>, GoToMeeting<\/strong><\/a>, Lynda.com<\/strong><\/a>\/ LinkedIn learning), new tools (Wysiwig editor, data-tables front end, recaptcha (A-ha!) ), new adaptations (multilingual content, events engine) and so much more.<\/p>\n

Join us\u00a0on this\u00a0trip through 2018 by taking advantage of all that eFront has to offer. Schedule a demo today<\/a><\/strong> and see for yourself!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
