In today’s knowledge economy the ability of an organisation to implement a strategy to the best capability of the workforce is increasingly difficult.

We are InfoBasis Solution Partners, and by using an InfoBasis’ (ESI) based solution, your organisation will understand the skills and capability of each individual – providing a readiness planning, objective setting, mentoring, collaboration and risk assessment framework that will ensure you can put your strategy into action.


About InfoBasis

InfoBasis specialize in the design and development of standards based skills management software solutions on a comprehensive, Microsoft technology platform, to define required skills, assess current capability levels, and provide comprehensive analysis and reporting in an enterprise. This analysis allows companies to better manage and develop their most valuable asset – their people.
These solutions allow companies to make the most of their existing investments in other key areas such as training, resourcing and recruitment.

The InfoBasis Enterprise Skills Infrastructure (ESI), is a complete skills management solution spanning automated skills capture and validation, flexible and industry recognised skills directories, skills gap analysis, staff development programmes and alignment. The InfoBasis ESI uses web-based technology to extend unlimited access to all levels of staff and to modular management tools for specific job functions - a suite of applications spanning all aspects of the management of a workforce asset.

Using ESI as a core, Ergon builds a client solution that best suits their current business needs and extends this as and when required with specific business functions. These solutions manage a complete inventory of personnel skills allowing the true strength of the workforce asset to be assessed, developed and deployed in accordance with your business strategies. Our solutions scale to meet the demands of the largest and most sophisticated enterprises – thousands of staff in geographically dispersed operations - and allow you to control transfer and consistency of skills across any number of partner organisations.

Organisations can be remodelled or integrated, project teams built, experts identified, career paths identified and people re-skilled to execute business goals and strengthen your existing capabilities. You will be better able to manage the business-critical challenges of rapid organisational change, the need for constant development of new skills and the increasing demands of regulatory compliance and certification.

Additionally, we have close partnerships with many of the leading industry organisations who are setting the strategy for Skills Standards, ensuring that we are always able to best advise you on the right framework for your business. The Ergon & InfoBasis partnership is currently working to promote standards-based approaches to workforce skills through affiliations to the major workforce standards agencies on both sides of the Atlantic. Working with key industry bodies and leading sector training-providers in Europe and the USA, mean we have an increasing global presence in this developing aspect of human capital management.

Return on investment from solutions extends beyond the simple reduction in training and recruitment costs - improved organisational agility, faster readiness and deployment, better utilisation of staff knowledge and skills deliver increased staff retention, more effective operations, increased customer satisfaction and the competitive benefits of a fitter, more agile enterprise.

 Customers already reaping these competitive and cost advantages include Microsoft Corp, which uses InfoBasis ESI to manage 12,000 professional services staff through Microsoft Global Learning Services, Norwich Union, the British Army, the IITT, the British and Irish Computer Societies, e-skills UK and the NHS.
