Interlynx
Multimedia, a subsidiary of Networks
North, signed a $240,000 contract with the Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce (CIBC) to provide Web-based training.
The training packages are for CBIC’s Management, Accounting, and Reporting
(MAR) project. MAR uses an OLAP application developed by Ottawa-based Cognos
Inc. to replace monthly paper reports used by managers to monitor their
accounts.
“In moving from paper based reporting to online analytical processing, CIBC
is showing itself to be a leader in Canada in the use of information
technology for financial and management accounting,” said Dr. Gary Woodill,
President of Interlynx Multimedia.
Interlynx will supply interactive online training content delivered by
intranet, as well as a dedicated Web site.
The training application, to be delivered in July, uses simulations of
various business scenarios, online discussions, and programmed instruction
to teach bank staff how to use the Cognos OLAP application.
“We were looking for a company with a proven record in instructional design,
experience in Web design, and the ability to work in a fast paced project
environment,” said Andrew Lonsbrough, Learning Developer, MAR Project.
“Interlynx Multimedia not only met these criteria but offered superior
graphic design services, a willingness to be flexible, and the strategic
expertise to guide CIBC Finance into the world of Intranet training.”
