Solution	After reviewing several other software options, Boral Building Products chose Intelex’s Training Management software to standardize training across all of their sites. In addition to meeting Boral’s primary criteria, Intelex offered a number of other features that appealed to the company. The ability to have quizzes in both Spanish and English was a valuable aspect of the Intelex system, allowing Boral Building Products to cater to their workforce’s needs. Intelex’s configurability made it possible to attach audio files and visual aids for those employees who may have limited reading or writing skills, enabling Boral to create a truly inclusive training program. The implementation process was seamless and was complete in approximately one a month, at which point the new Training Management system was rolled out simultaneously to all 46 locations and approximately 250 employees.
