Waltham, MA, September 25, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Dave Boggs, CEO of SyberWorks, states, “Today’s podcast is an interview with Dana Fine, Senior Instructional Designer and Implementation Consultant at SyberWorks. She discusses the ins and outs of developing a data-exchange interface between a Learning Management System and other enterprise-wide information systems, such as, with a Human Resources Information System (HRIS). She also discusses Active Directory interfaces, plus special factors that must be considered when handling personally identifiable information (PII).

Boggs continues, “When an organization purchases a Learning Management System, they often need to connect it to enterprise-wide systems like SAP, PeopleSoft, and others. Depending upon an organization’s business case, these interfaces with the Learning Management System may be required to keep it populated and refreshed with needed information.” Mary Kay Lofurno, Director of Marketing at SyberWorks, narrates the series.
