As a leading vegetation management and emergency restoration service, ABC Tree works in one of the most dangerous industries in the U.S. When a storm hits, for example, and a fallen tree disrupts electrical utility service, ABC Tree is on the job.

Since the work is so dangerous, accidents are an unfortunate yet sometimes inevitable reality of the job. But by implementing Intelex software, ABC Tree has shown steady decreases of the incidence of accidents and safety violations and is on their way to a safer—and eventually accident-free—future.

Head over to our press room to learn how ABC Tree has actually mitigated the impact of fines associated with OSHA penalties, and how the company is working to make penalties a thing of the past.

In case you missed it we just posted an article over in the Intelex Press Room called "Compromised Training Programs Can Sabotage Quality". It ran today in Quality Digest Daily which is an electronic publication from Quality Digest magazine (www.qualitydigest.com).

Written by Intelex's Content Specialist (and blogger), Paul Leavoy - this article offers a wealth of information on the fall-out from neglected training programs in both product quality and service. If you like what you read be sure to have a look at some of Paul's other insightful writing - his newly published whitepaper on purchasing safety management software is also a must read.

Intelex is pleased to announce they have been selected by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to provide a Training and Licensing Management System for their 4800 employees. The Laboratory, one of nine Johns Hopkins divisions, approached Intelex in search of a cost effective IT system that would allow them to streamline the management of their employee training and certification requirements at the departmental level.

The Intelex Training and Licensing Management System that they selected has the ability to establish specific training requirement and certification standards associated with any workgroup, is robust enough to accommodate a large number of employees, and is highly automated allowing for easy scheduling and re-scheduling of training. The Compliance Report, which is a pre-built feature of the system fosters the generation of real-time reports drawn from all training data in the system. Key reporting metrics include: assigned training by employee, training hours completed, training hours pending, certifications completed, certifications pending, certification renewals approaching as well as data specific to individual courses such as the number of employees assigned to a course and the number completed.

"We are excited to add John Hopkins University to our educational client roster along with others like the University of Virginia and Texas A&M University," commented Intelex President and CEO Mark Jaine, "Our EHSQ software systems have been gaining a lot of momentum within the education industry and we are looking ahead to continue this trend and provide solutions unique to the industry's needs." With the Intelex system being highly scalable in nature, it will be able to adapt to the expanding needs of the University and ultimately not be outgrown.

Intelex Technologies is proud to announce Ocean Spray Cranberries as one of our newest clients. Ocean Spray Cranberries is the leading producer of canned and bottled juice drinks in North America and are using the Intelex Training Management Module to streamline their training program.

Ocean Spray approached Intelex seeking a more comprehensive mode of managing and tracking their employee training records. Assigning training to groups of employees with similar requirements was a key feature the managers at Ocean Spray were looking for in order to improve and enhance business processes. With individual managers having their own specific training requirements, Ocean Spray was looking to adopt a solution that allowed each manager the flexibility to track and maintain their own training programs.

One of Intelex’s account managers, Simran Sharma, worked with Ocean Spray to review the current system being used and identify components they were looking to improve upon as well as provide some new features that they required. After exploring all possible options, Ocean Spray selected Intelex’s Training Management module as the solution to fulfill their needs. Intelex’s Training Management module is designed to enable organizations to effectively implement best-in-class employee training practices with organizations consistently recording an increase in overall organizational performance after implementation.
