Bacardi Martini choose Lotus LMS from Intec
Bacardi Martini choose Lotus LMS from Intec

Premier Business Partner, Intec Systems Limited of Fleet, North Hampshire have been successful in selling 200 Lotus Learning Management System Licences to leading drinks manufacturer Bacardi-Martini based in Southampton.

The sale took approximately 7 months to close, due largely to the fact that there have been no previous sales of the product to a UK based company resulting in extended evaluation and pilot phases to prove the technology. Intec have used this time to forge UK leading skills and expertise on the IBM Lotus next generation technology platform on which the LMS is based. The deal includes the sale of DB2 as the strategic backend database for the LMS, ousting Microsoft SQL Server as the default Wintel RDBMS for new implementations at Bacardi-Martini.

Bacardi-Martini, the largest privately owned company in the world. looked at learning solutions from a number of companies but believe that the unique blended learning management functionality of LMS will provide a uniform and branded front end combined with important feedback relating to employee training module progress. Future training plans include standard Microsoft Office desktop application courses from leading provider Skillsoft and bespoke Bacardi-Martini sales training from Sellex. The sale also included 100 Lotus Instant Messaging and Web Conferencing (Sametime) licences to complement a previous sale of 100 Lotus Team Workplace (Quickplace) licences, it is hoped that in future Bacardi-Martini will roll out LMS to its users throughout the UK, and to associated companies, and possibly globally.

Intec have gained commitment from Bacardi-Martini for a case study as soon as possible and believe that this will pave the way for future sales.
