BEND, OR, June 20, 2014 – Totara LMS has received the U.S. Army’s Certificate of Networthiness, enabling the learning management system software to be used with Army systems.
Totara, a custom distribution learning management software designed to deliver the benefits and cost savings of open source software to government and corporate clients, will work with ASM Research, an Accenture Federal Services Company, on implementation for federal clients.
ASM Research was selected to help develop Totara’s Solution Partner Network within the federal government, providing technical support for enterprise-wide installation and hosting infrastructure. Totara partners are selected based on their ability to deliver end-to-end solutions and ongoing customer support.
“Our entire team is excited to be working with ASM Research to provide Totara LMS solutions to the federal government,” said Willem Boom, vice president, partner solutions, Totara Learning, Inc. “Adding Totara to the Army’s Certification of Networthiness list is a great development that helps affirm the future of open source software.”
The Army’s Networthiness Certification Program manages specific risks associated with information systems by identifying, measuring, controlling, and minimizing security risks and impacts in IT systems. This certification is required of all organizations providing systems support to the Army.
“ASM Research has a long history of integrating new functionality into existing systems and enterprises,” said John Fraser, executive vice president and COO of ASM Research. “The Certificate of Networthiness reassures government and commercial clients that they can have confidence in choosing a Totara solution and partner with ASM, an experienced integrator.”
ASM provides both complete customized and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based learning and training solutions that include consulting, programming, hosting, system design, implementation and integration, course development and customer support services.
