“We wanted a partner that brought a best-in-class approach to adaptive learning for corporate education,” said Paul Aartsen, director of EMC Performance. “We found that partner in Area9.” EMC Performance helps organizations achieve their objectives by supporting employees and managers in improving their performance.
