GAINESVILLE, Fla, and PARIS, France, May 7, 2012 – SumTotal® Systems, Inc., the global leader in Strategic Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, today announced the availability of “TotalRegulation”, a new solution to assist companies in complying with education planning and reporting capabilities mandated by governments in certain areas across the globe.

In countries around the world, governments outline specific processes for budgeting, delivering, and reporting on education that organizations are mandated to provide to employees. SumTotal’s new TotalRegulation solution provides organizations the ability to leverage the SumTotal Enterprise Learning platform to deliver a seamless compliance solution that can keep pace with evolving government regulations. 

SumTotal has partnered with Training Orchestra, a leading supplier of government training compliance solutions based in France, to provide an integrated solution to comply with a variety of government requirements such as French (DIF, 2483, OPCA…), Belgium (CEFORA…), Luxembourg or Canadian governments (1% training act).

"Training Orchestra offers a high value solution for training departments and corporate university, and participates in strategic and operational performance of training activities through budgets optimization and legal compliance.  The SumTotal and Training Orchestra partnership affords companies with an opportunity to leverage a single integrated solution to comply with regulations across the globe," said Stephane Pineau, Chief Executive Office of Training Orchestra. "This is a far more effective approach than organizations having to implement multiple solutions simply to comply with government regulations in specific countries."
